Cymat Technologies Ltd., headquartered in Toronto, Canada, stands as a pioneer in materials technology, holding exclusive worldwide rights for producing Alusion™ Stabilized Aluminum Foam through patents and licenses. Alusion™, marketed for architecture, offers a versatile material with boundless design possibilities and architectural applications, presented in the form of lightweight aluminum panels.
Unique Characteristics
Alusion™ Aluminum Foam is renowned for its unique appearance and sound-absorbing properties, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring both aesthetic appeal and functionality. Resembling a metallic sponge, the aluminum foam panels boast a visually striking and modern dramatic look.
Versatile Specifications
Designed specifically for architectural use, Alusion™ aluminum foam panels are available in various thicknesses – 12.7mm, 25.4mm, and 43.2mm (1/2”, 1”, & 1.7”) – and three densities (Large Cell, Mid Cell, & Small Cell, with custom options available). Each thickness and density comes with its own representative stress/strain curve, ensuring suitability for diverse architectural requirements.
Properties and Advantages
Alusion™ Stabilized Aluminum Foam (SAF) exhibits buoyancy, flame resistance, and corrosion resistance akin to aluminum. With a non-combustible nature and a flame rating of A1, it meets stringent safety standards. The lightweight panels feature surface treatments that offer various appearances, from a solid surface “shimmering” look to a translucent “water froth” appearance.
Manufacturing Process
The production process of Alusion™ aluminum foam panels employs a proprietary continuous panel production method, providing several advantages. Notably, Cymat Technologies Ltd. boasts unparalleled capabilities in producing aluminum foam panels in vast dimensions and volumes, ensuring overall consistency and a uniform yet random appearance. Moreover, the material is lightweight, easy to install, and 100% recyclable, aligning with sustainability goals.
