| Industry Standard (Solid Aluminum Panels) | Construction, non-critical weight projects | Weight: 2.5 kg/m² (ISO 14034) Fire Resistance: ASTM E84 Class B (flame spread index 75) | High durability, simple manufacturing. | Heavy, poor thermal insulation, higher cost per area. |
| Alucore Base (Our Base) | General construction, offices | Weight: 1.2 kg/m² (ISO 14034) ▲ Fire Resistance: ASTM E84 Class A (flame spread index 25) ▲ Thickness: 1mm (ISO 3801) ▲ | Lightweight, cost-effective, basic thermal insulation (R-value 0.5). | Limited customization, no antibacterial/anti-static features. |
| Alucore Advanced (Our Advanced) | High-end architecture, labs, hospitals | Weight: 1.0 kg/m² (ISO 14034) ▲▲ Fire Resistance: ASTM E84 Class A (flame spread index 0) ▲▲ Thickness: 1.5mm (ISO 3801) ▲ Antibacterial: ISO 22196 (99.9% bacterial reduction) ▲ Anti-static: <1×10⁹ Ω (IEC 61340) ▲ Thermal Insulation: R-value 1.0 (ASTM C518) ▲ | Enhanced safety (anti-static, antibacterial), superior insulation, customizable finishes. | Higher cost, heavier than Base but lighter than Industry. |
| Steel Panels | Industrial buildings, high-stress areas | Weight: 4.0 kg/m² (ISO 14034) Fire Resistance: ASTM E84 Class A (flame spread index 0) | Extremely durable, high load-bearing capacity. | Heavy, corrosion-prone without treatment, expensive. |
| PVC Composite Panels | Indoor partitions, temporary structures | Weight: 1.0 kg/m² (ISO 14034) Fire Resistance: ASTM E84 Class C (flame spread index 250) | Low cost, easy installation. | Poor thermal insulation, unsuitable for outdoor, less durable. |
| Fiberglass Reinforced Panels | Marine environments, corrosive areas | Weight: 1.8 kg/m² (ISO 14034) Corrosion Resistance: ASTM D543 (excellent chemical resistance) | Corrosion-resistant, ideal for harsh environments. | Brittle, limited finish customization. |
