GRAPHIC-AL™ OR has the rigidity of an aluminum composite material, in a super light weight with thinner aluminum skins (0.005”) and a foamed plastic core. It offers excellent flatness and superior smoothness. Easily cut with a saw, substrate cutter or router, this unique material delivers stellar performance over a wide range of applications.
White G-70% over White G-70% and Black G-15% (both sides) are also available for special order. Please check with customer service for availability.
Note: Custom sizes and colors are also available upon request.

PROPERTIES
The panel weight is almost equivalent to 1.0mm thick aluminum and 2mm thick acrylic sheets.
The thermal expansion is almost equivalent to aluminum and nearly one third acrylic sheets.
Rigidity (bending strength)
GRAPHIC-AL™ OR 3mm is equivalent to 1.8mm thick aluminum and 5.0mm thick acrylic sheets in rigidity.
B E N E F I T S
• Super lightweight: GRAPHIC-AL™ OR 3mm thick is only 0.51psf due to the thinner aluminum skin (0.005” thick) and a foamed plastic core.
• High rigidity: GRAPHIC-AL™ OR 3mm is equivalent to 1.8mm thick aluminum and 5.0mm thick acrylic sheets in rigidity, and its weight is only 60% and 50% respectively.
• Excellent flatness and smoothness: GRAPHIC-AL™ OR has an excellent flatness derived from the continuous laminating process and an excellent smoothness from the coil coating process.
M A T E R I A L C O M P O S I T I O N
GRAPHIC-AL™ OR is composed of two skins of 0.005” thick aluminum and a foamed polyethylene core. Both top and back surfaces are polyester coatings produced in our continuous coil coating line. Both sides are covered with transparent protective films.

Thickness: 3mm
Size: 48”x96”
Note: Custom sizes are available upon request.
Note: Thermal expansion rate 13×10-6in/in/°F means that the elongation/contraction is 0.06” per 48” per 100°F.
GRAPHIC-AL™ OR 3mm is equivalent to 1.8mm thick aluminum sheet in rigidity. This aluminum sheet weighs 1.9 times GRAPHIC-AL™ OR.
