Viva, India’s leading
Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) manufacturer, proudly announces the launch of
its state-of-the-art A2 Fire Retardant Core production facility, a
first-of-its-kind in India. With this initiative, Viva sets a new benchmark in
fire safety, innovation, and international standard compliance in the ACP
industry.
The A2 core represents the
highest grade of fire safety in ACPs, comprising 90% mineral content and 10%
virgin polyethylene, delivering very limited combustibility, minimal smoke
emission (s1), and zero flaming droplets (d0) — as certified under EN 13501-1
(Class A2-s1, d0), the stringent European fire classification. Viva’s A2 panels
are also tested and certified by ASTM E84 and NFPA 285 (USA), adding global
credibility to their fire-resistance properties.
“Safety, quality, and
sustainability are the pillars on which Viva stands. By launching India’s first
A2 core facility, we’re not just meeting global safety standards — we’re
leading the industry toward a safer and smarter future,” said Mr. Prakash Jain,
CMD, Viva Metal Composite Panel.
Why
A2 Core Matters
Traditional PE Core panels,
being 100% polyethylene, are highly flammable and pose significant fire hazards
in critical infrastructure. A2 core ACPs, by contrast, are engineered for
high-rise buildings, airports, hospitals, commercial complexes, and other
public-use structures where fire safety is paramount.
Viva’s A2 ACPs not only
offer unparalleled safety but also maintain the brand’s hallmark in aesthetics,
durability, and customization options.
Trailblazing
Global Standards
With the successful
commissioning of this A2 core facility, Viva now joins a select league of
global ACP manufacturers equipped to deliver non-combustible panels for
international markets. The company’s ongoing investment in R&D,
certifications, and advanced manufacturing reflects its commitment to global
safety and quality excellence.
