Viva launches India’s first in-house A2 ACP core facility

Viva has inaugurated India’s first in-house A2 Fire Retardant Core production unit for aluminium composite panels (ACPs), setting a new industry benchmark in fire safety and international standards compliance. 

The A2 core, with 90 per cent mineral content and just 10 per cent virgin polyethylene, is certified under EN 13501-1 as Class A2-s1, d0—signifying limited combustibility, minimal smoke, and no flaming droplets. It also holds ASTM E84 and NFPA 285 certifications, ensuring global recognition. 

“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,� said Prakash Jain, CMD, Viva Metal Composite Panel. 

Unlike PE Core panels, which are fully polyethylene and highly flammable, A2 cores are suited for high-rises, airports, hospitals, and commercial buildings. Viva’s A2 panels also retain aesthetic flexibility and long-term durability. 

With this facility, Viva joins a niche group of global ACP manufacturers producing non-combustible panels, reinforcing its focus on R&D, safety, and innovation-led manufacturing.
