ALCADEX/NC – AS1530.1 certified non-combustible aluminium composite materials
Changes to the Building Code of Australia, together with recent fire-related incidents in Australia and around the world, have led us to create an innovative aluminium composite material (ACM) to comply with Australian and international standards.
ALCADEX/NC - An innovative non-combustible ACM
Extensive testing has been undertaken in Australia by CETEC – a NATA accredited test laboratory – confirming that ALCADEX/NC is a non-combustible material compliant with AS1530.1.

Technical Specifications
Product
The Alcadex/NC panel consists of an inorganic matrix core. Testing to AS1530.1 has proven the core to be non-combustible, offering low risk fire safety qualities whilst maintaining the look of an aluminium panel for use on the interior or exterior of buildings.
The Alcadex/NC panel can be fixed to the interior or exterior of a façade substructure, being an existing or constructed wall compliant with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA). The Alcadex/NC panel can be penetrated by materials and building services without the requirement for additional protection measures. In addition, the panel can be perforated to have holes at regular intervals.

Preparation & Installation
Panel Fixing
The Alcadex/NC panel should be casette type mechanically fixed to metal top hat sections which are fixed onto the wall frame/substructure.
The fixing technique would depend on the location, span of the panel and wind load requirements. Where the panel is fixed in high wind load areas, the system design is to be reviewed by a qualified façade engineer.
All panel joints should be caulked and sealed to avoid the exposed edge of the panels coming in contact with moisture (refer to the installation manual).
