New aluminium composite plant opens in Oman
According to a media report, Oman’s first aluminium composite panel (ACP) manufacturing plant has been recently inaugurated at Misfah Industrial Area on the outskirts of Muscat. It is the latest diversification of the Mohammed Riaz & Partners group, a leading building materials company, added the Oman Observer report.
At the inaugural ceremony, Alu-Panel’s product specialist Tenzin Tsarong gave an overview of ACP within the market place and its advent some 40 years ago, known then as sandwich panels, because it was made up of two aluminium sheets on either side that were bonded together in a non-aluminium core, the report elaborated.
Tenzin Tsarong also highlighted how the launch of the ACP factory in Oman is a testament to the growth and usage of smarter materials in the marketplace that are aesthetically simple yet elegant, solid yet lightweight and have longer longevity.
He also cited examples of famous structures using ACP materials such as Spaceship Earth (Florida), VanDusen Botanical Garden (Canada), Loreal building (Paris) and so forth.
Tenzin then introduced the fire team to give a demonstration of firing one of their sheets with a flame gun to showcase the fire resistant capability of the sheets.
