Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) for household appliance panels is a precision-engineered sandwich-type composite structural material exclusively developed for the exterior and interior panel components of home appliances. It is manufactured by bonding two high-precision aluminum alloy face sheets to a lightweight functional core material via high-temperature, high-pressure adhesive curing, with surface coating and protective layer treatments optimized for the home appliance industry’s stringent requirements for appearance, mechanical performance, corrosion resistance, and processability.
