Also, in collaboration with TENMAT, 3A announces that ALUCOBOND® PLUS, when used in rainscreen applications in combination with the TENMAT FF102/50 Rainscreen Fireblock, has passed a series of tests and complies with the 2022 NYC (New York City) Building Code.

ALUCOLUX Rebrand

“I’m excited about the launch of ALUCOLUX®, our premium pre-painted aluminum plate, proudly made in the USA,” said Mike Marushka, vice president of sales, Architectural Division, 3A Composites USA. “It’s a product that gives architects and fabricators the freedom to bring bold ideas to life while meeting the highest standards for performance and sustainability.”
