Here's
a breakdown of ReynoArch Zinc Composite Panels:
What
are Zinc Composite Panels?
Similar
to Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP), ZCPs consist of two sheets of zinc (or a
zinc top sheet and an aluminum bottom sheet) bonded to a thermoplastic core,
often a non-combustible mineral-filled core for enhanced fire resistance.
ReynoArch
Zinc Composite Panels (ZCP) are a popular cladding material known for combining
the natural beauty of zinc with the practical advantages of composite panels.
ReynoArch, a brand of Reynobond India, emphasizes quality, durability, and
aesthetic appeal in their ZCP offerings.

Key
Features and Benefits of ReynoArch ZCPs:
· Exceptional Durability and Longevity: Zinc is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making
it ideal for external cladding. It can withstand harsh weather conditions,
including UV exposure, heavy rainfall, and temperature variations, without
compromising its integrity. ReynoArch claims their ZCPs can last for decades,
even up to 100 years.
· Self-Healing Patina: A
unique characteristic of zinc is its ability to develop a natural patina (zinc
carbonate layer) over time when exposed to air. This patina protects the
surface, making it self-healing and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
· Aesthetic Appeal: Zinc
offers a natural, sophisticated look that evolves with time, developing a
unique matte grey or other nuanced shades. ReynoArch offers various textures
and tones, including "Quartz Zinc," "Ash Zinc," and
"Natural Zinc," to suit different design palettes.
· Eco-Friendly: Zinc
is a highly recyclable material, and ReynoArch ZCPs are non-toxic and
lead-free, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint and making them a
sustainable choice in modern construction.
· Lightweight and Easy Fabrication: Despite their durability, ZCPs are lightweight, which
simplifies installation, reduces construction time, and minimizes the load on
the building's structure. They are also highly malleable, allowing for easy
bending, flexing, and molding into various shapes and intricate designs.
· Fire Resistance: While
not inherently fire-retardant, ReynoArch offers ZCPs with non-combustible
mineral-filled cores and can customize them to be fire-resistant.
· Sound Insulation: They
provide good sound insulation, contributing to more comfortable interiors.
· Versatile Applications: ReynoArch
ZCPs are suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Typical
Applications:
ReynoArch
