SendCutSend’s ACM, or Aluminum Composite Material (sometimes called e-panel or DiBond®) is a low-cost, lightweight cousin to aluminum. This material should be on your mind if you need something both lightweight and inexpensive.
Our ACM (DiBond®) comes in matte white, matte black or brushed finishes.
Often used in construction as building cladding, ACM (DiBond® / e-panel) is a powerful material for obtaining strength and aesthetics in your building renovation, visual merchandising, or machine enclosures.
ACM’s popularity comes from its metallic properties, which are achieved by taking two thin layers of aluminum sheeting and sandwiching them with a polyethylene core. The plastic core allows ACM to be about half the weight of a traditional aluminum sheet, while maintaining desirable characteristics found in solid aluminum alloys.
ACM is made up of around 80% or more recycled materials, so if going green is important to you or your customers, ACM panels are a great choice.
