Fire Retardant ACP

ALUCOPANEL FR Class A ACP

An upgraded fire retardant aluminium composite panel achieving Class A surface-burning performance, the spec-upgrade over standard FR for UAE commercial facades.

ALUCOPANEL FR Class A: the spec-upgrade fire-retardant panel

ALUCOPANEL FR Class A is an upgraded fire-retardant aluminium composite panel engineered to achieve a Class A surface-burning classification to ASTM E84, flame spread index 25 or less and smoke-developed index 450 or less. It is the natural step up from standard FR for UAE commercial projects that need documented Class A performance without moving to full A2/A1 mineral panels.

FR Class A keeps the workability and value of FR while satisfying stricter specification clauses, North-American-style fire codes and demanding insurer requirements. Manufactured in the Emirates with coil coating and full test documentation on every batch.

Frequently asked questions

What is Class A fire rating for ACP?

Class A refers to the ASTM E84 surface-burning classification: a flame spread index of 25 or less and a smoke-developed index of 450 or less. ALUCOPANEL FR Class A is engineered to meet these limits.

How is FR Class A different from standard FR?

FR Class A uses an upgraded fire-retardant core and is tested to achieve a documented Class A (ASTM E84) result, satisfying stricter specification and insurer requirements than standard FR.

Does FR Class A replace A2 or A1?

No. A2 and A1 are non-combustible/limited-combustibility mineral grades under EN 13501-1, typically required for high-rise. FR Class A is a fire-retardant grade for commercial projects that specify Class A surface burning.

Is documentation provided?

Yes. Every order ships with test certificates and batch traceability so you can support your fire submission and QA records.
