etalbond® is a technologically advanced product whose unique features facilitate creative and innovative architectural design. Curved and flat surfaces in vivid colours add an elegant sense in public and private buildings and constructions.
With its high quality, resilience and unique appearance, etalbond® offers sustainable construction quality and high creative standards.
etalbond® is available in three different core compositions:
etalbond® PE with low-density polyethylene
etalbond® FR with fire-retardant core
etalbond® A2 with incombustible core, suitable for the most demanding applications, always in compliance with all fire safety requirements for external cladding
How does etalbond®contributes to sustainability?
100% post-consumer recycled content for the core
96.6% post-industrial recycled content of the aluminium
100% recyclable product
96.3% to 99.3% of recycled materials can be completely returned to the material cycle
No water is used for the production process
A significant percentage of the energy used for the lamination process is produced from the photovoltaic plant installed on the factory roof.
All coatings used on etalbond® are REACH and RoHS compliant and no heavy metals are used for their pigmentation
During the coil coating process the evaporated solvents are burned in order not to exit the environment and their heat from burning is used for the paint curing and solvent evaporation, resulting in the minimum amount of energy consumption
The continuous nature of the coil coating process and the efficiency of roller coating means that waste is very much reduced and wastage of paint is virtually eliminated, with most potential waste being re-used in paint formulation.
Water used in processes is 100% re-utilized resulting in no water wastage

Advantages & Benefits
The main advantages of etalbond®, whose unique features replace the various traditional construction materials, are:
Outstanding strength-to-weight ratio
Increased rigidity
Simple forming techniques
Due to its light weight, limited technical knowledge and time to assemble is required in contrast to traditional construction works
Rapid installation
Contributes largely to the decreased completion time of a project
Resistant to extreme weather conditions (exposure and temperature)
Extensive testing during production, guarantees the materials’ resistance capability to severe weather conditions
Excellent UV characteristics, retaining colour after extended exposure to the sun
Easy maintenance - pollution, acid, alkali and salt resistant
The panels can be easily cleaned with a soft detergent due to their smooth surfaces.
Curved and flat surfaces in striking colours create a new elegant look in buildings and constructions of all kinds.
etalbond® is the ideal cladding material for interior and exterior surfaces, be it a new constructions or a building renovation.
