Bending Plus

ALUCOBOND® PLUS can be bended using a bending press.

• The minimum required radius is r = 10 x t (t = panel thickness)
• The spring back effect of ALUCOBOND® PLUS is greater than that of a solid aluminium sheet.
• The die edges should be rounded and smooth.
• To prevent damage to the panel surface, protective foil must not be removed during bending.
• Additionally, the visible surface can be protected by using plastic pads of 1-2mm thickness
• Ideal die width: 2 x t + 2 x protective foil thickness + punch diameter + 15mm
• Before scaled-up production, testing on the sample panels is recommended.

  Important: When bending ALUCOBOND® PLUS with an anodised surface, the bent area is brighter.
