DIBOND®artenara features scratch-resistant surfaces in four beautifully curated shades that live in perfect harmony – elegant greys and soft natural tones that move from light and pristine to rich and characterful. Each surface unlocks fresh possibilities for interior design, shopfitting, wall cladding, and furniture construction, empowering you to create spaces with refined aesthetics and lasting performance.
We recommend installing all panels pointing in the same direction as the arrows marked on the protective film to avoid potential reflection differences. Panels from different production batches may vary slightly in colour. To ensure colour consistency, we strongly recommend ordering the total material requirement for a project in one order.

DIBOND® FIVE-DOT-MISSION
DIBOND®, the original aluminium composite panel for the visual communication market, has been assessed in line with our MISSION: TOGETHER. RESPONSIBLE. DIBOND® currently achieves a FIVE-DOT classification with a total of 7 points respectively 9 points.
Recycled content
We have already completely replaced virgin materials in the core of our DIBOND® panels with recycled LDPE, and this means we are able to make an important contribution to closed-loop recycling. By using recycled core material, approximately 6,700 metric tons of LDPE virgin material can be saved every year. We work with selected European suppliers to source recycled LDPE of a consistently high quality. Continuous quality assurance is an essential part of this process for us. What is more, all DIBOND® panels comply with the requirements in the current version of the REACH & RoHS directives. The DIBOND® core material is recycled. In addition, the aluminium used for our cover sheets also contains recycled content and for DIBOND®re, the cover sheets are made entirely from recycled aluminium. Aluminium is one of the materials best suited to recycling because regardless of how often it is recycled, there are no detrimental effects on its material properties. We intend to increase the proportion of recycled aluminium in our cover sheets in the future.
CO2 Footprint
As the production of aluminium and the core material polyethylene are energy-intensive, there is embedded fossil carbon in DIBOND®. By using recycled LDPE, the CO2 footprint has already been significantly reduced. With DIBOND®re, which thanks to a recycled content of over 95% improves the CO2 footprint by at least 40% compared to conventional aluminium composite materials, we are setting a new benchmark. The footprint can be further optimised through the type of electricity used in aluminium production and the increasing share of secondary aluminium.
Product life cycle
Our high-quality, durable DIBOND® panels are used for long-term indoor and outdoor applications. In terms of weather resistance, the full range of selection criteria advocate the use of DIBOND®. The panels are temperature resistant from -30°C to +80°C, waterproof and UV-resistant. The composite structure of a DIBOND® panel comprises aluminium cover sheets which are particularly corrosion resistant. Depending on where the panel is installed, customers report a service life of up to 20 years.
Recyclability
DIBOND® is completely recyclable, i.e. both the core material and the aluminium cover sheets are recycled and used to produce new material. There are different methods to separate the material components from the composite. We are the first manufacturer of aluminium composite panels in Europe to have established a recycling system for the return of our aluminium composite materials in Germany in April 2023. Collecting and recycling the material is carried out in cooperation with our strong partners in the A|U|F e.V.. This association of German metal construction companies, system houses and other companies, organizes a closed-loop recycling system to deal with the aluminium used in the window, door and façade sectors. Initially, the option of returning our aluminium composite panels will start in Germany and will soon be extended to include other European countries.
