FormaBond®<br />
Metal Composite<br />
Wall System *<br />
<strong>Distinctively</strong> Superior.<br />
<strong>CENTRIA</strong> revolutionizes the thin aluminum composite panel<br />
industry with FormaBond. Unlike traditional ACM – that’s made<br />
through lamination, then fabricated into panels by a second<br />
party – FormaBond is manufactured entirely by <strong>CENTRIA</strong> using<br />
a proprietary reaction injection molding process. The result is a<br />
patented, stronger, flatter and finished ACM panel, complete with<br />
pressure-equalized joinery.<br />
Patented dry joinery eliminates wet seals and provides optimum<br />
venting to allow wall cavities to dry effectively while prohibiting<br />
the entry of rainwater, thus reducing the chance of entrapped<br />
moisture, material degradation and mold. Specify FormaBond and<br />
elevate the quality and integrity of your next ACM wall system.<br />
