Outdoor PVF laminated metal utilizes the exclusive Tedlar® PVF film from Dupont adhered to the surface of high quality metal sheets, providing unparalleled exterior protection that withstands any climate or environment.

It exhibits outstanding features like fire resistance, UV resistance, acid and alkali resistance, while preventing bacterial and mold growth. It's also eco-friendly, releasing minimal volatile organic compounds (VOC) during processing.

The excellent flexibility of both the film and metal ensures no surface cracks or damage after various treatments like stamping and bending, allowing easy shaping for various construction materials.

Widely applied outdoors, it's ideal for roofs, exterior walls, maintaining the appearance of buildings by preventing fading and rusting. It's also suitable for applications in solar panels, coastal buildings, aircraft interiors, medical facilities, and hotels.

What is PVF Film?

PVF (Polyvinyl Fluoride), invented by Dupont in 1940 and officially trademarked as Tedlar® in 1961, has been extensively used for indoor and outdoor surface protection in aviation, automotive, solar photovoltaic, and residential building industries for over 60 years.

Compared to similar films like PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and PVDF (Polyvinylidene Difluoride), PVF excels in surface toughness, weather resistance, and corrosion resistance. Even in high-temperature, humid regions prone to material corrosion, PVF effectively safeguards building surfaces from extreme environmental erosion.

Product Feature

• Easy Maintenance and Durability: It has excellent hydrophobicity, preventing dirt like water and oil stains. Falling sand test prove its superior abrasion resistance over PVDF films, protecting the film and metal surface. Cleaning with water or detergent can easily maintain its bright appearance.
• Easy to Process and Shape: With over 100% elasticity and no cracks after T0 bending tests, its strength and flexibility allow versatile shaping through bending, stamping, molding, and complex processing.
• Fire Resistance and Eco-Friendliness: Certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for fire safety, designated as fire-resistant material in Japan, and passing fire resistance tests from American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the USA. It emits fewer toxic substances and smoke when burning, making it a safe choice for interiors in transport vehicles and indoor spaces.
• Anti-Mold and Bacterial Growth: Especially suitable for highly clean environments like hospitals, hotels, restaurants, and malls. Its surface properties prevent mold and bacterial growth, confirmed by ASTM G21 to inhibit fungi, while wall panels made with Tedlar® PVF film have passed UL Greenguard Gold certification and UL anti-mold tests.
• UV Resistance: More enduring against UV rays compared to common materials like acrylic, PVC, and PVDF. It retains its color and gloss even after prolonged exposure to sunlight on building surfaces.
• Corrosion and Acid-Alkali Resistance: Its special structure prevents chemical reactions with solvents or gases. It exhibits high resistance to strong acids and alkalis, effectively preventing erosion from high-concentration salt spray, acid rain, and environmental conditions in coastal areas, industrial zones, and urban settings.
