Dibond is an affordable, aluminum
composite material (ACM) made of two lightweight sheets of .010" aluminum
with a thermoplastic core. It is currently stocked in 4'x8'
sheets, also 4x10' 4x12' 5x10' 5x12'
coil coated with white polyester paint.
Dibond
panels consist of a core of low density polyethylene
machine-bonded between
two outer skins of aluminum. This balanced sandwich
construction produces a very
rigid yet optically-flat panel.
Water
and sponge or soft brush are all that is required to
clean Dibond. In severe
cases, alkali-free cleansing detergents may be added to
the water.
Dibond
panels can be cut to size by sawing or shearing: more
complicated shapes can
be produced using a jig or band saw.
DIbond is
impact and fire resistant
and is waterproof. Also has
the benefit of being extremely lightweight.
