Aluminum Foam Panel - Ultralight Ceiling Panel

Aluminum Foam Panel

Aluminum foam panel, as a new concept metal material, is foamed in sponge shape after melting aluminum ingot with various chemical ingredients and has many pore cell inner structures. It is a cellular structure consisting of solid aluminum which contains a large volume fraction of gas-filled pores. The pores can be sealed ( closed cell AFP, as we called), or they can be formed as an interconnected network( open cell AFP). They are not only acoustic materials but also beautiful decorative materials( we can paint colors on the panels).

Closed Cell Aluminum Foam Panel
For the production of foamed aluminum, AL powder is mixed with a product releasing gas at higher temperature and then compacted, this foaming agent is placed into a mold form and heated up until the agent starts to foam. Immediately thereafter the mold is taken out of the furnace and cooled off, so the aluminum foam part is frozen in shape. The outcome of this process is a closed cell aluminum foam showing a thin casting skin on the surface.
Closed cell AFP is soundproof, fireproof, ultralight, 100%eco-friendly & recyclable, etc.

Aluminum foam composite with different products
Our aluminum foam panel is soundproof, fireproof, waterproof, ultralight. To composite with aluminum sheet makes this product have better performance on sound insulation. They can be used as compartment bulkead, wall, enclosure, etc.
Besides, our aluminum foam panel can also be composited with marble, wood tile, etc., which makes them much lighter, soundproofing, and saving distribution cost, etc.

Application
Aluminum foam to qualify for specific requirements within the automotive, aviation, railway and engine building industry. Aluminum foam is also qualifying for other high potential applications in the field of Architecture and Design, where electromagnetic shielding, structural damping, flame resistance and a decorative surface structure is required.
