FormaBond® Metal Composite Wall System

Product Description

CENTRIA revolutionizes the thin aluminum composite panel industry with FormaBond. Unlike traditional ACM—made through lamination, then fabricated into panels by a second party—FormaBond is manufactured entirely by CENTRIA using a proprietary reaction injection molding process. The result is a patented stronger, flatter and finished ACM panel, complete with pressure-equalized joinery.

Patented dry joinery eliminates wet seals and provides optimum venting to allow wall cavities to dry effectively while prohibiting the entry of rainwater, thus reducing the chance of entrapped moisture, material degradation and mold. Specify FormaBond and elevate the quality and integrity of your next ACM wall system.
