Viva strengthens ACP safety with A2 Core facility

Viva, a pioneer in aluminium composite panel (ACP) manufacturing, opens India’s first A2 Fire Retardant Core facility, setting new safety standards. The cutting-edge manufacturing facility provides globally certified, non-combustible panels intended for critical infrastructure.

Viva, India’s leading manufacturer of Aluminium Composite Panels (ACPs), proudly announces the opening of its cutting-edge A2 Fire Retardant Core production facility, the first of its kind in India. With this initiative, Viva establishes a new standard for fire safety, innovation, and international standard compliance in the ACP industry.

The A2 core represents the highest level of fire safety in ACPs, with 90 percent mineral content and 10 percent virgin polyethylene, resulting in very limited combustibility, minimal smoke emission (s1), and zero flaming droplets (d0), as certified by EN 13501-1 (Class A2-s1, d0), the strict European fire classification. Viva’s A2 panels have also been tested and certified by ASTM E84 and NFPA 285 (USA), lending 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,” expresses Prakash Jain, CMD, Viva Metal Composite Panel.

Why A2 Core Matters

Traditional PE Core panels, which are entirely polyethene, are highly flammable and pose significant fire risks in critical infrastructure. A2 core ACPs, on the other hand, are designed for high-rise buildings, airports, hospitals, commercial complexes, and other public-use structures that require high levels of fire safety.

Viva’s A2 ACPs provide unparalleled safety while also maintaining the brand’s aesthetics, durability, and customisation options.

Trailblazing global standards

Viva has joined a select group of international ACP manufacturers that are prepared to supply non-combustible panels for global markets following the successful commissioning of this A2 core facility. The company’s ongoing investment in research and development, certifications, and advanced manufacturing demonstrates its commitment to global safety and quality excellence.
