ALUCOBOND® A2 can be bent using a roll bending machine (3 or 4 rollers). Make sure that the feeder does not exert too much pressure. Bending rollers which are also used for bending other metals must be thoroughly cleaned from swarf before processing ALUCOBOND® A2.
Make sure to use only polished rollers free of dents and other defects. To prevent damage caused to the panel surface, the protective peel-off foil must not be removed during bending. Additionally, the visible surface can be protected by using plastic pads of 1–2mm thickness. Before scaled-up production, testing on the sample panels is recommended.
