FABRICATION GUIDELINES
Line cuts
Exalcobond recommended extra fine, carbide tipped
cutting blade with vertical or horizontal panel
saws. Sawing and touting Exalcobond are relatively
easy processes that can be done with ordinary
commercial woodworking equipment. In order to
eliminate the problem of cutting edge with ragged
we recommend using extra fine cutting blade
teeth. Be sure to secure the panel on the panel
saws carefully to get the actual dimensions
required of the finish product.

Routed cuts
Exalcobond recommended using conventional circular
saw with standard bits that machined to a 90
to 105 VEE. Meanwhile, the bottom of groove
should be controlled between 1 mm and 2 mm,
so that is important to select the right routing
bit. During the process of routing, it is very
important not to remove all of the PE core material
from the back of the uncut aluminium skin. We
recommend PE core material remaining after route
is made within 0.3mm~0.5mm same thickness as
the aluminium skin. This material provides a
smooth radius bend line to be formed and will
benefit the protection of aluminium skin forever.
After groove routed, it can be bent within the
bending radius easily on a simple clamping device. |

BENDING AND CURVING
The bending process can be done by hydraulic
press or roll forming machine. Exalcobond
can be rolled to 15 times the thickness of the
panel. Therefore for Exalcobond (4mm)
the minimum recommended inside radius is 60mm.
We recommend using 3 adjustable roller roll-former
machine with various dimension to accomplish
curve configuration for column covers or rounded
edge building corners or pyramid roll-forming. |

FIRE RESISTANCE
According to the professional report and
analysis from the fire catastrophe the most
dangerous are the toxic gases from the burning
building material. The Exalcobond has
passed the toxic gas test ABD 0031 which has
been approved for Aerospace material.
