About MLP™

(mechanical lock profile)

The MLP™ (mechanical lock profile) is a structural cavity design that allows for increased thermal barrier cavity size for improving the energy efficiency of aluminum fenestration products. Intended for use in high performance building envelopes in the most demanding climates and conditions, the MLP™ integrates design and processing technology for superior thermal performance and shear strength over other architectural fenestration technologies.

The MLP™ fully encapsulated cavity design is stronger because the displaced metal—where the lanced indentations curve downward—provides more surfaces to mechanically lock and embed the polymer to the aluminium to create a strong, bonded composite.

Machinery

The Azon Lancer™ is a mechanical device that works to prepare and condition the MLP™ thermal barrier pocket prior to the polyurethane polymer filling step. The Lancer™ works inline with pour and debridge processing machinery* and will accommodate many common open-top thermal barrier extrusion profiles and is the essential machine for producing the MLP™.  The Lancer also enhances the shear strength of the resulting polymer and aluminum composite.
