LONDONArconic, the metal products maker that was once part of Alcoa Inc., said Monday it will stop selling one type of aluminum composite panelling for use on highrise buildings after speculation that the material contributed to the spread of a deadly fire at a London apartment tower.
Reynobond PE, which has a polyethylene core, will no longer be sold for highrise projects, New York-based Arconic said in a statement. The company also makes another type of panel Reynobond FR which is fire-resistant.
We believe this is the right decision because of the inconsistency of building codes across the world and issues that have arisen in the wake of the Grenfell Tower, Arconic said in a statement. We will continue to fully support the authorities as they investigate this.

Why Grenfell Tower burned: Regulators put cost before safety
The company previously had warned that such panels posed a fire risk on tall buildings. Arconic says it wasnt the companys place to decide whether the material complied with local building regulations, Britains ITV and Reuters reported.
At least five law firms announced Monday that they were investigating claims on behalf of Arconic shareholders who have lost money on their investments since the fire.
Londons Metropolitan Police said Friday it was investigating what role aluminum composite panels, the insulation behind them and the installation of the overall exterior cladding system played in the June 14 Grenfell Tower fire that killed at least 79 people.
Our tests will look at each aspect individually, as well as how they all worked together as part of the buildings cladding, police said in a statement.
The U.K. government is scrambling to test cladding materials similar to those used at the destroyed tower, hoping to better understand fire-safety risks nationwide.
Arconics announcement came as the government announced that cladding material from 75 buildings in 26 local authorities had failed combustibility tests. Communities and Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid said samples from every building tested so far had failed.
The fact that all samples so far have failed underlines the value of the testing program and the vital importance of submitting samples urgently, Javid said. I am concerned about the speed at which samples are being submitted.
Meanwhile, Britains government says it is giving $1.27 million to charities helping fire victims. Javid said the figure recognizes that small charities and not-for-profit organizations are making a contribution to the relief effort.
The funding is in addition to $6.36 million provided for the Grenfell Tower Residents Discretionary Fund.

Tyler Ziegenfuss of York thought he might want to become a cop after high school.
Then, he found the Building Trades program at the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership.
And I absolutely love this, said Tyler, who was among dozens of students that helped build a two-story home this past school year in a heavily wooded lot off Route 63 in Piffard.
The students, from GVEPs Charles G. May Center in Mount Morris, began work on the project the second day of school in September when the site had only a foundation and piles of tree limbs that had been hand-cut by the homeowner, Minhhang Huynh, and her friends and family.
I liked seeing how we built this from the ground up, said Tyler, a senior who also worked on last years home-build in Geneseo. When you see the finished project like this, theres a strong feeling inside that you did this. And the best experience is again seeing the homeowner smile.
Like a family
Huynh, a petite woman no taller than the students working on the house, was known to jump in and learn alongside the students.
She made it very personal for the kids, Jared Cali, one of three Building Trades instructors, said of Huynh. Shed blend right in; it was as if she was one of them.
Huynh who the students came to know as Min finished doing the drywall while students were on break watching YouTube videos to understand the mudding process, which uses tape and joint compound to make the seams in the drywall disappear. She also took pieces of remnant tile and turned them in to a mosaic that she installed at the entrance to the home and in a bathroom.
It gave me the confidence to do anything, Huynh said. When the teacher showed them how to do the floor, I said I wanted to learn, too. Being with the students up on the roof, was so fun.
Huynh made videos and photo collage posters showing the construction of her home and the students roles.
Theyve been here the last nine months, so its become like a big family, she said. They were not here to build my house, they were here to build my future. I wanted to do something for them. It was as if God gave me these 65 kids.
Huynh hopes to use her home to teach artistic programs for children. She designed it to have large open spaces and smaller functional spaces.
She also wanted the home to mirror the Abbey of the Genesee in its look. If viewed from above, the house has the appearance of a cross.
Inside, the top trim on the doors is a little bit longer, while the trim above the windows is flush with side mimicking appearances in the Abbey.
The Abbey is my spiritual home, says Huynh, an artist who has been studying and teaching at the Abbey since graduating from SUNY Geneseo about 20 years ago.
A unique feature of the home is its sanctuary with a 12-foot ceiling and two stained glass windows provided by Huynhs friend, Sue Shady of Fairport. A wall cutout on the second floor looks down in to the sanctuary.
Hands-on learning
The Building Trades Program got its start at the Mount Morris campus in the late-1960s or early-1970s when students used to build two small ranch houses every year.
Beyond a trade, they learn life skills, how to work a job site and how to take pride in their work, said Cali.
Potential homeowners submit applications to be considered for the home build. By February, a homeowner and location are chosen for the next year. The homeowner must then have the foundation completed by summer. Homeowners are also required to install pay for materials and final finishing costs. The labor to construct the home comes from the students.
The students get their hands into everything; they become well versed in what they do, said Vincent McKeown, who oversaw the carpentry students.
This years project was somewhat unusual in that it was a two-story home.
The footprint was so small, we were able to tackle it as a two story, said Cali.
Even with the smaller footprint, the chestnut-colored home has about the same square footage 1,500 to 1,800 square feet as a typical ranch house. What the two-story did mean was more doors, more windows and two sets of stairs.
But the more time students can do something, the more the process clicks and it can become permanent to them, Cali said.
Students did about 90 percent of the work on the home. They did rough framing, siding, roofing, electric, plumbing, heating, drywall installation, insulation, finish carpentry and custom cabinets. This year they installed a skylight and complete hardwood floors using a layered flooring system for the first time.
Finding solutions
The students began by setting scaffolding on the second-day of school in September. The first big push on the project was to get the roof on and have the building weather-tight by winter.
Last year, it was 90 degrees when we were working on the roof, this year it was more like 9, Ziegenfuss said.
Through the winter they worked on the inside, doing rough-framing a process that included some repetition when Huynh made changes to the plans such as wall locations or additional storage and progressing in to finish work and small details.
As for the homeowners changes, the students simply went with the flow, McKeown said.
Wed explain why we were doing it and the motivation. It took a little longer, but the students could see the challenges and get experience, and then have the reward of finding a solution, he said.
Spring rains brought additional challenges such as keeping mud under control and out of the house, and frequently checking scaffolding in case it settled in the soft ground, said Richard Wilson, an instructor.
Meeting a milestone
Each year, the Building Trades Program students build a house for a homeowner.
The juniors, who are in the first year of the program, do simpler tasks driving nails, running wires and drilling holes.
I didnt expect it to be so hands on, said Antonio Daniels of Dalton, a junior at Keshequa Central School.
But this really drew my interest, its what I might want to do, he said, noting a grandfather and uncle who work in the profession.
Seniors are encouraged to take on leadership roles as they tackle more complex tasks ranging from designing the layout of the home to installing electrical boxes.
Last year, it was a much bigger house and it seemed like we were worrying if wed finish, said Trevor Taft of York. This year, it wasnt, even when snow came early when we were putting on the roof.
By end of school year, theyve built a home even as juniors acknowledged some doubts it would happen.
I did wonder whether it would pull together in time, but it all came through, said Jared Boss of Dalton, who gave a tour of the home to his mother, Christina, during an open house this month. It started with the foundation and we did our thing. There was a journey and we meet the milestone.
Steps to a career
The project gives the students an opportunity to see a lot of different trades, said Wilson, an instructor.
From there, they may go straight into the workforce or take the knowledge theyve gained to college and grow and nurture it into something more grandiose, Wilson said.
Quintin Bronecki, a senior from Livonia, wasnt sure what he wanted to do when he entered the program two years ago so he took Metal Trades and later Building Trades.
I wanted to get skills because they cant take your skills away, he said, noting that he found carpentry to be more my thing; I felt more in change
With graduation approaching he hopes to go straight into the trades; I hope to be a finishing carpenter.
And for Jared, a junior at Keshequa Central School, hes also thinking about becoming a carpenter.
This, he said, is a stepping stone.

NEWPRODUCTONDISPLAY Crews with Green Acres Contracting of Scottdale, Pa., on Wednesday installed along Marquette Avenue in Follansbee about 1,800 feet of guardrail, including several sections coated with ZAM, a new coating produced by Wheeling-Nisshin Steel said to be at least three times more resistant to corrosion. Officials said sections of ZAM coated guardrail were alternated with galvanized steel sections to show the difference between the durability. -- Warren Scott
FOLLANSBEE When crews installed about 1,800 feet of guardrail along Marquette Avenue Wednesday, they were not only helping to protect drivers traveling to and from the citys Parkview section.
They also were helping to showcase a relatively new product produced by a local industry.
The crews with Green Acres Contracting of Scottdale, Pa., installed alternating sections of guardrail, some comprised of standard galvanized steel and some coated with ZAM, a zinc, aluminum and magnesium alloy produced and applied by Wheeling-Nisshin Steel.
Developed by Nisshin Steel, the steel firms parent company, ZAM is super resistant to corrosion and scratching because it is nearly three times harder than commonly used galvanized coatings, said Art Bertol, Wheeling-Nisshin general manager for ZAM marketing, who was on hand to observe the guardrails installation.
City Manager John DeStefano said all of the guardrail was donated by Wheeling-Nisshin in hopes of showing the West Virginia Division of Highways and others the durability of the coating, which is offered in the U.S. only by Wheeling-Nisshin, compared to that of standard guardrail.
Bertol said the steel firm hopes the state will include ZAM as a specification in guardrail and other projects and that ultimately, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials will be persuaded to use the product.
Bertol said the coating also may be applied to signs and other steel structures. He added since Wheeling-Nisshin began offering it in 2013, ZAM has been used on roofs and siding for many barns, silos and other agricultural structures and has many other applications, including the walls for in-ground swimming pools, cooling towers and sound/wind and snow barriers.
DeStefano said the city benefits from the donated guardrail, which would have cost almost $10,000, while possibly helping to increase the customer base for a major local industry.
The city manager said the cost for the city was about $400 to have steel coils slit for the guardrail and about $9,800 to have it installed.
He was asked if there are any concerns about the stability of the hillside, which overlooks an area of Follansbee Park where a slip caused major damage to a shelter.
DeStefano said staff with Garvin Boward and Beitko, a geotechnical engineering firm in Pittsburgh, has monitored 86 survey points in the area and not found any significant movement.

UPPER SANDUSKY A Columbus company will refurbish two wooden covered bridges in Wyandot County for more than $1.2 million, with a majority of the funds provided by federal grants, according to The Progressor-Times newspaper in Carey. The Parker Covered Bridge, built in 1873, is a Howe truss design which spans 172 feet over the Sandusky River. It is located on Crane Township Highway 40, northeast of Upper Sandusky. Fire destroyed the original Parker Covered Bridge in May 1991. It was rebuilt and dedicated in October 1992. A committee, which was formed after the fire to raise money to restore the bridge, raised $150,000. The Swartz Covered Bridge, built in 1879, is a Howe truss design which spans 96 feet over the Sandusky River. It is located on Wyandot County Highway 130 in Antrim Township. The Swartz Covered Bridge was restored in the early 1990s. Righter Co., Columbus, with experience in restoration of wooden covered bridges, bid $607,988 for the Parker bridge restoration and $597,672 for the Swartz bridge restoration. The county will pay $60,283 as its share of the work on both bridges. A majority of the funds will be provided by the Federal Transportation Alternative Program. The rehabilitation of each bridge will include work on the wood trusses, replacement of damaged pieces, installation of new siding, new roofs and new floors. The Swartz bridge will have a new foundation, too. Each will be made more secure, too. Each bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s.
