Two additional product thicknesses deliver enhanced design flexibility 

Davidson, NC  – November 30, 2022 – 3A Composites USA is pleased to announce that ALUCOBOND® AXCENT™, its line of flat aluminum sheets, is now available in three thicknesses – .040”, .063” and .080”. The expansion of the ALUCOBOND AXCENT line is a testament to the company’s more than 50 years of reputable performance and its investment in continuous improvement and innovation as it enters the metal facade market with a larger offering. While the original .040” thickness is well-suited for commercial projects that specify painted metal trim for windows, high-traffic entryways and elements such as fascia, flashing and roof caps, ALUCOBOND® AXCENT™ .063” and .080” provides robust additional capabilities.

New color boosts design capabilities and meets today’s fire performance requirements

Davidson, NC  – October 17, 2022 – 3A Composites USA is taking the innovative design and unparalleled performance of ALUCOBOND PLUS to the next level with the launch of its new gray core. Effective October 17, 2022 the color of the product’s solid, fire-retardant (FR) core — developed exclusively to meet fire performance requirements  — has been updated to gray from its original shade of white. This product design enhancement was achieved through modifications to the formulation that allows for greater design flexibility while still maintaining the product’s superior fire performance rating.

Architects, fabricators, Installers and developers alike will appreciate a product design innovation that reduces labor and delivers a high-quality finish.
