Euro Panel Launches SolidAl, A Fire-Safe Aluminium Facade

08 Oct 2025 CW Team

Manufactured from high-grade aluminium alloys (3003/5005/5052), SolidAl is available in 2 mm, 2.3 mm, and 3 mm thicknesses, offering exceptional strength, longevity, and versatility. Categorised as marine-grade, the panels are 100 per cent recyclable and produced using sustainable materials. Most notably, SolidAl carries the highest fire safety rating—Class A1 under EN 13501-1 and AS 1530.1, making it one of the safest options for modern and high-rise buildings.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Divyam Shah, Whole-Time Director and CFO at Euro Panel Products Ltd, said:

“At Eurobond, innovation is core to our culture, and SolidAl is a reflection of that commitment. The product delivers unmatched strength, formability, and durability, while its use in solid form offers higher warranty assurance. Its Class A1 fire rating is a major advantage for high-risk applications. With sustainability at its core, SolidAl’s recyclability and eco-friendly materials align perfectly with today’s environmental priorities. This is one of many exciting innovations we plan to introduce as part of our R&D focus.”

SolidAl has been engineered around three key principles—strength, safety, and design flexibility. The panels can be adapted to flat, curved, perforated, or custom-shaped façades, ensuring creative freedom for architects. They feature uniform coating, colour consistency, and come with 15- and 20-year warranty options. Manufactured using advanced continuous coil-coating technology with multiple layers of Kynar 500 PVDF, the panels ensure superior weather resistance, durability, and colour retention for both urban and coastal environments.

The launch follows a series of milestones for Euro Panel Products Ltd, including becoming India’s first ACP manufacturer to obtain NABL accreditation for its in-house colour coil testing laboratory and expanding operations to the Gulf region via Qatar. The company also became the first ACP manufacturer listed on the mainboards of the NSE and BSE.

With the introduction of SolidAl, Euro Panel Products Ltd has unveiled one of the most advanced aluminium façades in the industry, positioning itself for strong growth and global expansion in the months ahead.
