​​Cerarl AICA  have a wide range of colors and surface textures, from wood grain, stone grain, single color,...

In Japan, the country is always with high technical requirements, and frequent earthquakes, AICA's material experts have researched and produced a lightweight, noncombustible, antibacterial, and waterproof material. It is CERARL. 

CERARL is a surfacing material with a lightweight fiberglass, adhesive and decorative finish that can be installed on any rough, flat surface. CERARL is a revolutionary and innovative material from Japan. This material has outstanding characteristics such as fire resistance, excellent waterproofing, unique antibacterial, impact resistance. All these characteristics make CERARL the ideal material in areas of high temperature, heat, humidity and high bacterial flow, where hygiene, sterility are highly important. Public spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, elevator halls, lobby and in commercial spaces such as corridors, elevator interiors and toilets... and especially hospitals, operating rooms with equipment Modern design, no brick circuit brings luxury, no bacteria residence.

In the future, CERARL will become one of the leading premium materials for the new age construction industry. Noncombustible CERARL panels have a variety of designs from natural wood grain to natural stone, marble bringing smoothness and sophistication to the living space. CERARL panels meet the requirements of the modern furniture industry with high quality, tested in public buildings around the world. CERARL is a unique product exclusive to AICA Japan, which has obtained Green Label certification from the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) as a very low emission ecological material (Super E0), good for user's health.

Origin of Aica Cerarl Sheet

Appearing to date for more than 40 years, Aica Cerarl sheet is still an exclusive product of the Japanese AICA brand. Japan is inherently a country prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, therefore, architecture in this country emphasizes durable, lightweight, antibacterial, and moisture-resistant materials. CERARL sheet is a material that is researched and released based on these criteria. Through time of use and improvement, CERARL is expected to be one of the trending materials for the modern construction industry in the future.

Structure of CERARL panel

​With an overall thickness of 3mm, CERARL has 4 layers as follows:

  • The protective film makes CERARL sheet antibacterial, easy to clean, and resistant to impact.

  • Decorative paper layer: A layer of paper with texture and color dipped in MUF (melamine urea formaldehyde) glue. After heat pressing on the core layer, the MUF glue inerts to form a transparent melamine resin layer, further reinforcing the protective layer. The grain and color of the laminate are determined by this decorative paper.

  • Noncombustible core layer: This core layer is composed of glass fiber dipped in specialized glue, making CERARL noncombustible, lightweight, and waterproof.

  • Decorative paper layer: It is a layer of paper dipped in MUF glue as the bottom layer to balance the sheet. CERARL panel is clearly divided on the upper and lower surface when applied to the surface.

Advantages and disadvantages of Aica Cerarl panels 

In the Vietnamese market, CERARL panels are still a new material compared to the general surface material market. But in the home country of Japan, itt is currently a popular and spearhead product of AICA. Because CERARL has the following outstanding advantages:

  • Noncombustion: This is the most outstanding feature of Aica Cerarl sheet when compared to other surface cladding materials. With a core structure consisting of layers of fiberglass interwoven with specialized glue, CERARL has a tight structure, resists heat penetration,, even when immersed in hot water or Cigarette butts do not change the surface colors.

  • Moisture resistance: Still a tightly bonded fiberglass core prevents moisture from entering the CERALR. That's why the CERARL has excellent water resistance.

  • Hygiene and antibacterial ability: The surface layer is made of a special chemical and unique technique that helps Aica Cerarl sheet to inhibit the growth of bacteria and prevent bacteria from entering the interior.

  • Impact resistance: The structural layers are pressed together under high temperature and pressure to help CERARL has great bearing capacity and impact resistance.

  • Diverse colors and textures: Single color, wood grain, stone grain, abstract texture, ... there are countless variations of surface textures that can be selected from CERARL panels.

  • Easy to clean: The surface layer is stain resistant and easy to clean.

  • Easy to install: The carbide saw blade is easy to use for cutting and the CERARL panels cross-section is very smooth and clean. Just inject glue on the back and apply the CERARL panels on the construction surface, without revealing the panel joint.

Besides the outstanding and unique advantages compared to products of the same application, CERARL panels has a few disadvantages that hopefully in the future manufacturers can overcome such as 

  • the price is too high. High-end: Currently, compared to other surface cladding materials, CERARL panels are at a rather high price range. Therefore, CERARL panels are not yet popular with the majority of customers.

  • Applications are not as diverse as laminate, veneer, ...: CERARL panels are mainly applied in wall cladding, but not on the surface of furniture.

Application of CERARL in life​

AICA CERARL panels n the hallway wall area bring a modern and luxurious feeling.

In general, CERARL panels is still a relatively new material in the construction industry today. But customers can refer to the following practical applications suggested by the manufacturer:

  • Applications for home projects: Using CERARL panels to cover kitchen cabinets, wall tiles, toilet tiles,... With the advantages of fire resistance, antibacterial and easy cleaning, the use of CERARL panels for these areas will bring convenience and high aesthetics to the house.

  • Application for public works: such as wall cladding, lobby at universities, lecture halls, public toilets, hospitals,... Especially suitable for cladding specific areas of hygiene and antibacterial such as operating room, patient room.

The current price of CERARL

Compared with other surface cladding materials, the price of CERARL panels is classified in the high to high price segment. As an exclusive product of AICA Japan, it is difficult to find the same material as CERARL panels on the market. In addition, with outstanding quality and durability, it is not difficult to understand why CERARL panels is priced like that.

Instructions for care and maintenance of Aica Cerarl panels

Maintenance

  • To remove dirt from the surface, use moistened melamine foam (melamine sponge) or wipe away the dirt with a soft cloth dabbed in a neutral detergent. Be sure to use a dry cloth to wipe away the moisture. Do not use a nylon scrub brush, steel wool, or abrasive detergent.

Storage and Handling

  • Avoid storing directly on the ground or concrete floors, but store flat on palettes. (Please be sure to stack flat to prevent warping.)
  • Do not place objects on to the stack or step on top of it.
  • Do not store near rainwater or places exposed to moisture, direct sunlight, or extremely low or high temperatures.
  • Do not stack upright. Doing so may cause warping.
