The A2 core represents the highest grade of fire safety in ACPs, comprising 90% mineral content and 10% virgin polyethylene, delivering very limited combustibility, minimal smoke emission (s1), and zero flaming droplets (d0) — as certified under EN 13501-1 (Class A2-s1, d0), the stringent European fire classification. Viva’s A2 panels are also tested and certified by ASTM E84 and NFPA 285 (USA), adding global credibility to their fire-resistance properties.
“Safety, quality, and sustainability are the pillars on which Viva stands. 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.
Traditional PE Core panels, being 100% polyethylene, are highly flammable and pose significant fire hazards in critical infrastructure. A2 core ACPs, by contrast, are engineered for high-rise buildings, airports, hospitals, commercial complexes, and other public-use structures where fire safety is paramount.

Viva’s A2 ACPs not only offer unparalleled safety but also maintain the brand’s hallmark in aesthetics, durability, and customization options.
With the successful commissioning of this A2 core facility, Viva now joins a select league of global ACP manufacturers equipped to deliver non-combustible panels for international markets. The company’s ongoing investment in R&D, certifications, and advanced manufacturing reflects its commitment to global safety and quality excellence.
