Alcan introduces the new ALUCOBOND(R) Spectra Colors series for the global architectural and facade markets.
"With its subtle nuances and color contrasts, Alcan's new ALUCOBOND(R) Spectra Colors series celebrates the natural color shifts that occur in everyday materials. The new color series was inspired by the glowing luster and sheen in modern metals and the color shifts found in modern luxury goods. This innovative new color series solidifies ALUCOBOND(R) as the product of choice for the architectural and facade markets," stated Claus Leyting, President Architecture of Alcan Composites.
Alcan's new ALUCOBOND(R) Spectra Colors series change color depending upon the material's pigment type and the observer's viewing angle. Different wavelengths of light are reflected back to the viewer producing an ever-changing color gradient with iridescent highlights.
The new Spectra Colors series for ALUCOBOND(R) was created by Alcan Composites in Singen, Germany, and is one of the many innovative projects the Company's architectural business is developing.
Alcan's ALUCOBOND(R) aluminum composite material was developed to supply a light and flexible material for facades. Available in different finishes, it addresses both interior and exterior architectural applications and enables the creation of a distinctive style and a unique image for every building. Specifically requested by architects, ALUCOBOND(R) is used all over the world, and millions of square meters have been sold since the product was launched in 1969.
