Aluminum Back Panels

Rigid and Durable Reinforcement

Product Image

MPC’s Aluminum Back Panels are a popular choice to reinforce or support metal and plastic overlays due to their low density, rigidity and ability to resist corrosion. A lightweight yet strong metal, aluminum is easily machined and formed because it is softer than anodized aluminum. Aluminum back panels are not intended as show surfaces because they are most commonly produced using unfinished mill stock that may show surface scratches and other minor cosmetic imperfections. These imperfections are usually hidden by the overlay.
