Aluminium composite panels by Symonite Australia
Symonite is the only Australian manufactured aluminum composite panel. An
Australian owned company whose continuous composite panel research and development sees them
as specialists in the manufacture of fire resistant materials for the building and transport
industries.
Symonite is manufactured from a core of fully cured 'A' resol fibre reinforced Phenolic resin
which is chemically bonded under heat and pressure to a wide range of metallic faces including
mill finished, anodised or PVDF painted aluminium.
The advantages of Symonite over other composite panels stem from its unique thermosetting core
construction. Extreme Impact Resistance makes Symonite more than cost competitive in comparison
to solid metal sheet or Polyethylene cored panels in public areas, which are subject to high
mechanical damage or facades prone to damage from impact i.e. hail.
Fire Resistance makes Symonite a suitable building element where compartmentalisation of fire
is an important aspect in fire safety engineering and design. High thermal temperature stability
prevents creep and telegraphic deformation of the external face of the panel on high ambient or
high surface temperature conditions because the core does not soften.
UV Stability means that the panel edges can be fully exposed to the elements thus introducing design
and fabrication options for Architects and Designers which can reduce total installed costs.
Silicone Edge Bonding means panels can be structurally glazed thus increasing design options and
also reducing fabrication and installation costs. Homogenous Thermal Expansion means no differential
thermal expansion between the panel's aluminium skin and it's core, thus ensuring panel flatness
over a wide temperature range.
