Product Description
Customized Brushed Aluminum ACP
Premium aluminum composite material for cladding and building facade applications, featuring a distinctive satin-metallic brushed finish.
What Are Brushed Aluminum Composite Panels?
Brushed aluminum ACPs are premium finish panels where the aluminum surface undergoes mechanical brushing to create fine, unidirectional lines, resulting in a distinctive satin-metallic appearance. This finish is achieved through physical abrasion rather than just paint or coating.
Manufacturing Process
How Brushed Finish is Created
- Base Material: Starts with standard aluminum coil (typically 3003, 5005, or 5052 alloy)
- Brushing Process: Mechanical brushing using abrasive brushes or belts moving across the aluminum surface in one direction
- Satin Finishing: Creates consistent, fine parallel lines with variations including hairline (fine) or coarse brush patterns
- Cleaning & Pre-treatment: Removes debris followed by chemical cleaning
- Protective Coating Application: PVDF Coating (70% Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000®) for exteriors, polyester coating for interiors, or anodizing for superior durability
- Lamination: Brushed aluminum sheets are bonded to core material
Key Characteristics & Aesthetic Qualities
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Visual Texture | Linear satin finish with visible grain |
| Light Reflection | Diffused, non-glare surface |
| Tactile Quality | Slightly textured feel |
| Color Options | Natural silver, champagne, bronze, black, gold |
| Directionality | Brush lines follow panel length |
Advantages & Benefits
Aesthetic Superiority

- Fingerprint Resistance: Better than polished aluminum
- Maintenance: Easier to clean than textured surfaces
- Durability: Coating protects the brushed surface
Design Versatility
- Works with both flat and 3D/formed panels
- Compatible with various fabrication techniques
- Available in different colors through coating

| Mirror | Reflective | Very High | Very High | Decorative |
| Wood/Marble | Natural patterns | Low | Low | Decorative facades |
Installation & Fabrication Considerations
Handling Precautions
- Directional Consistency: Ensure all panels have brush lines running same direction
- Protective Film: Remove immediately after installation (sunlight can bake adhesive)
- Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Can damage the brushed pattern
- Cutting & Fabrication: Use sharp tools to minimize burring on cut edges
Joining Methods
- Reveal Joints: Emphasize the linear pattern
- Flush Joints: Create seamless appearance
- Shadow Lines: Create depth between panels
Maintenance & Care
Recommended Cleaning
- Regular: Mild detergent + water + soft cloth/sponge
- Periodic: Professional cleaning for large installations
- Avoid: Steel wool, abrasive pads, strong acids/alkalis
Stain Removal
- Light Stains: Isopropyl alcohol (test first)
- Hard Water Stains: Vinegar solution
- Always: Rinse thoroughly after cleaning
Cost Considerations
- Premium over standard ACP: 20-40% more expensive
- Higher than solid colors, lower than anodized
- Factors affecting cost:
- Aluminum thickness
- Coating system (PVDF vs. Polyester)
- Core material (PE vs. FR)
- Panel thickness
- Order quantity
