Fire Performance of Aluminum Panels Aluminum panels are commonly used in exterior wall decoration for which fire performance is a crucial consideration. Here is some information regarding the fire performance of aluminum panels and relevant standards:

Fire Performance of Aluminum Panels:

1. Fire-resistant Coating: Some aluminum panels may have a special fire-resistant coating on their surface, contributing to improved fire performance.
2. Material Selection: The aluminum alloy itself forms an oxide film at high temperatures, enhancing the fire resistance of aluminum panels.
3. Structural Design: The design structure of aluminum panels, such as using cavity structures, may also impact their fire performance by improving flame retardancy.

Relevant Standards:

1. International Standards: The fire performance of aluminum panels usually needs to comply with international standards for building materials, such as the European standard EN 13501-1.
2. National Standards: Different countries may have varying standards for the fire resistance of construction materials. In China, the performance requirements for fire-resistant building materials are often specified in national standards like GB 8624, "Classification for Burning Behavior of Building Materials."
3. Industry Standards: Industry organizations and associations may release guidelines and standards related to the fire performance of exterior wall decoration materials to ensure building safety.

When selecting aluminum panels, it is advisable to review the product's fire performance test reports and certificates to ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations. Additionally, building projects typically have specific architectural design specifications and fire safety regulations that outline requirements for the fire performance of exterior wall decoration materials.

The main components of aluminum panel products are high-quality aluminum alloy plates such as AA1100H24 and AA3003H24. The aluminum content in 1100 is as high as 99.9%, while 3003 contains 97% aluminum and 3% manganese.

Aluminum has a melting point of 660.4°C, and the added manganese metal has a melting point as high as 1245°C, significantly enhancing the structural strength and fire resistance of the panel. The fluorocarbon baked enamel on the product surface is also a high-temperature resistant material with a melting point of up to 380°C.

Moreover, fire-resistant materials can be placed in the middle layer of aluminum panels or aluminum curtain walls, achieving an overall fire performance classification of GB8624-2006 A2 level. In conclusion, the fire performance of aluminum panels for decorative purposes is nearly perfect and meets the requirements for fire safety in public spaces.

The fire performance of aluminum panels is typically influenced by several factors, including material selection, surface treatment, and structural design. Here are some factors that can affect the fire performance of aluminum panels:

1. Type of Aluminum Alloy: Different types of aluminum alloys have varying performance characteristics. Generally, using aluminum alloys with good fire resistance, such as fire-resistant aluminum alloys, can enhance the overall fire performance of aluminum panels.

2. Surface Treatment: Aluminum panels may undergo different surface treatments, such as spraying or anodizing. Special fire-resistant coatings or surface treatments can enhance the flame-retardant properties of aluminum panels.

3. Design Structure: The design structure of aluminum panels can also impact their fire performance. Incorporating special designs, such as cavity structures, can help improve fire resistance.

4. Fire Rating: Aluminum panels may be designed to have different fire ratings, such as A1, A2, B1, B2, etc. A1 is typically non-combustible, A2 indicates very low combustion performance, while B1 and B2 levels are relatively lower.

5. Adherence to Standards: Manufacturers may ensure that their aluminum panel products comply with international or national standards for the fire performance of building materials, such as EN 13501-1, GB 8624, etc.
