ff2®, ff3®: Novelis pre-painted, coil-coated aluminum for facades and interior design

High Strength, Low Weight – ff2® and ff3® offer the same span width as conventional AlMg1 panels – at just two-thirds the weight:

  • ff2®: AlMg3, thickness 2.0 mm = 5.4 kg/m²
  • ff3®AlMg1, thickness 3.0 mm = 8.1 kg/m²

This means easier handling, faster installation, and lower transport costs. Engineered for demanding applications like aluminum composite panels and high-rise façade cladding, ff2® and ff3® are seawater resistant and withstand extreme wind loads, temperature fluctuations, and marine environments with ease (German Lloyd certified).
