DAIICHI Products: Aluminum Panel with Wood Grain effect Coating

Shanghai Poly Grand Theater

DAIICHI uses the Menphis coating technology from Italy, including the high-quality wood grain heat transfer film produced by Menphis in Italy and AkzoNobel's weather-resistant wood grain powder coating. This coating can be applied to the aluminum panels to providing a coating that closely resembles natural wood in both appearance and texture.

After treatment, the product surface exhibits excellent resistance to sunlight, wear, and corrosion. Compared to natural wood, the wood grain aluminum alloy material has advantages such as acid and alkali resistance, fire resistance, high hardness, light weight, deformation resistance, and durability. The wood grain effect coating is now in high demand in the fields of architectural industries, especially in the modern architectural decoration market that emphasizes environmental protection and energy efficiency. Its weather resistance abilities makes many real wood cannot realize to be possible!

The products produced by DAIICHI using the specialized powder coating and transfer film developed in collaboration with Menphis from Italy and AkzoNobel have many advantages, including clear transfer patterns, good permeability, high toughness, and resistance to folding. By using Menphis transfer film in conjunction with AkzoNobel Interpon D2015 powder coating, we can produce products that meet the American Architectural Manufacturers Association's AAMA 2604 and QUALICOAT (Class2) standards. These products also come with a 15-year engineering warranty certified by Menphis and AkzoNobel.

Outdoor Natural Exposure Testing
Menphis has a specialized laboratory for developing different wood grain patterns and continuously tests each production batch to ensure high-quality standards are met.

Outdoor natural exposure testing:
During the development of the advanced wood grain heat transfer film technology, Menphis conducts outdoor exposure tests in accordance with ISO2810 standards to verify its corrosion resistance, weather resistance, coating impact resistance, color, and texture stability.

PVDF or Powder Coating
Aluminum Panel with PVDF or Powder Coating
Aluminum panel with PVDF or powder coating is commonly used in architecture nowadays, it is lightweight, temperature resistant, corrosion resistant, ultraviolet resistant, weather resistant, easy to be cleaned, able to be curved/shaped irregularly and nearly 100% recyclable. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor, especially skyscraper, and able to be applied in both stick and unitized curtain wall system. DAIICHI got over 30 years experience in this field, is many renowned architects' choice!

Carved Decorative
Carved Decorative Aluminum Panel
Different kind of carved decorative aluminum panels are popular building façade options for architects and designers due to its lightweight and versatile features. Featuring high precision and high efficiency, Numerical Control Turret (NCT) punch press and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) cutting technologies are employed to form irregular, complex patterns that conventional perforated metal cannot achieve and satisfy virtually any architectural design or demand.

Wood Grain effect Coating
Aluminum Panel with Wood Grain effect Coating
Our skillful technician can work with Italy Menphis coating technology to apply wood grain, which alternating regions of relatively darker and lighter wood resulting from the differing growth parameters occurring in different seasons, on aluminum panel to make it look and touch like natural. The wood grain effect coating is now in high demand in the fields of architectural industries because of it's weather resistant abilities makes many real wood cannot realize to be possible!

Stone Texture effect Coating
Aluminum Panel with Stone Texture effect Coating
With stone texture effect coating we can make aluminum panel with natural stone texture, apart from common standard stone textures our experts can simulate different stone textures according to client's real stone samples, which makes architecture can apply real stone and stone texture coated alumium panels/units together. This technology makes building able to apply stone like finishing in irregular shapes and also enable skyscrapers to have stone-like finishing in both indoor and outdoor widely.

Aluminum Ceiling
Aluminum Ceiling
We are expert of aluminum ceiling, especially curved and irregular designed ceiling in streamlined design, deconstructionism and various post-modernism buildings. No matter strip ceiling, square ceiling, hook-on ceiling, blade ceiling, open cell ceiling, mesh ceiling... etc., we can handle well with different coatings. Our major focus are subway terminal, train station, bus station, airport, museum, theatre, stadium, and shopping mall architectures.

Aluminum Honeycomb Panel
Aluminum Honeycomb Panel
The aluminum honeycomb panel is a sandwich panel consisting of two aluminum plates as surface sheets and hexagonal aluminum honeycomb cells as the core supporting material, bonded together by aviation-purpose epoxy adhesive film. This type of sandwich panel with all usual aluminum panel's advantages and increased rigidity, fire resistance, sound and heat insulation... etc. We can make those honeycomb panel with different coating finishing and widely used in building façades, ceilings, decorations, furniture and more.

Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV)
Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV)
The advantage of BIPV system over more non-building-integrated system is that the initial cost can be offset by reducing the amount spent on building materials and labor that would normally be used to construct the part of the building that the BIPV modules replace. In addition, BIPV allows for more widespread solar adoption when the building's intended outlook and aesthetics matters will not been disrupted by traditional rack-mounted solar panels.
Unitized Curtain Wall
Unitized Curtain Wall / Curtain Wall Unit
Unitized curtain wall system can be installed in a third of the time of a stick-built system. This system is well suited for cases where there is a large volume of prefabricated unitized panels required, where there are higher field labor costs (thereby shifting the labor cost to us), where higher performance is needed (for wind loads, air/moisture protection, seismic/blast performance), for taller structures, and more regular conditions for panel optimization.
Anodized Aluminum Panel
Anodized Aluminum Panel
Anodizing is an electro-chemical conversion process. The surface of the aluminum panel is converted to aluminium oxide film as a result of reactions going on at the anode in an acidic solution. This kind of aluminum panel can electro or dye coloured to obtain aesthetic colours such as light/medium/dark bronze, silver, gold, etc. and retain aluminum's unique surface characteristic, that finishing is extremely hard, durable and corrosion resistant.
Self-clean Aluminum Panel
Self-clean Aluminum Panel
Through a series process to apply the additional nano coating on top of the aluminum panel's different kind of finishing coating, we can make it with self-cleaning abilities, so that greasy dirt and dust adhere on the aluminum panel surface can be easily cleaned by rainwater. The building surface therefore keeps clean and beautiful with less maintenance cost.
