Overview Coming Soon

ULTRACORE IQ intelligent core panel is Deemed-to-Satisfy non-combustible when tested to AS 1530.1 and AS 1530.3 as per the requirements of the NCC 2022, Clause C2D10(6)(g) and installed using the mechanical cassette-fix system as per NCC 2022, Clause C2D15(1). It has also been tested by Exova Warringtonfire to BS 8414 and AS 5113 full-scale testing to prove it does not contribute to the spread of fire. Visually, ULTRACORE IQ intelligent non-combustible core panel looks the same as traditional aluminium composite panel but with zero combustible core content (0%) meaning it achieves the lowest risk rating, category D, from the Insurance Council of Australia.

Proven V-groove Durability

Unlike 3mm SOLID aluminium, ULTRACORE IQ has 40 years of proven durability when using the common v-groove folding system. This is because the front skin is not impacted when v-grooving, as has always been intended.

AS 1530.1 Non-combustible

ULTRACORE IQ is one of the few aluminium panels globally that is Deemed-to-Satisfy non-combustible when tested to AS 1530.1 and AS 1530.3 in accordance with the NCC 2022 Clause C2D10(6)(g) requirements.

AS 5113 Fire Testing

ULTRACORE IQ is Deemed-to-Satisfy non-combustible so does not require further fire testing however it has been tested to AS 5113 full-scale testing by Exova Warrintonfire to prove it does not contribute to the spread of fire.

Zero Polyethylene Core (0%)

Unlike most other aluminium panel products including FR, Plus, A2 and NC type panels, the ULTRACORE IQ aluminium core contains ZERO percent flammable polyethylene (0%) and each lamina is 100% non-combustible.

Less Thermal Conductivity

ULTRACORE IQ aluminium core panel has a thermal conductivity of 2.54 W/mK compared to 205 W/mk for a SOLID aluminium panel. This means 80 x slower rate of heat transfer for greater fire safety and section J compliance.

Mechanical Cassette-Fixing

Compared to a SOLID aluminium panel, ULTRACORE IQ is faster and easier to fabricate using the well-proven z-angle cassette-fix system making it more cost effective and compliant with C2D15(1).

Oil-canning Resistance

Oil-canning is the uneven distribution of tension in SOLID aluminium panels which results in a rippling effect on the facade. The superior mechanical properties of ULTRACORE IQ guarantees against oil-canning.

Less Carbon, Less Weight

ULTRACORE IQ intelligent core panel is 100% recyclable and uses 50% less aluminium per m2 than 3mm SOLID aluminium for much less carbon footprint. It is also 50% lighter for significant structural and labour savings.
