Product Description

Outdoor PVF laminated metal panels use DuPont's exclusive Tedlar® PVF film, which is firmly bonded to metal surfaces. These advanced laminated panels provide exceptional protection against sunlight, fire, strong winds, heavy rain, and extreme weather conditions, significantly extending the lifespan of buildings.

Its superior features include fire resistance, flame spread prevention, UV protection, acid and alkali resistance, and antimicrobial properties. Additionally, the product meets environmental standards by emitting minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

With excellent flexibility and workability, PVF laminated metal panels can undergo bending, stamping, and other fabrication processes without cracking, making them suitable for a wide range of construction and industrial applications.

These panels are widely used in metal roofing and exterior walls for residential, industrial, and warehouse buildings, effectively reducing fire risks and preventing long-term deterioration caused by sun exposure and harsh environments. Other applications include solar panels, coastal buildings, aircraft interiors, medical facilities, and hotels.

PVF Laminated Metal Structure

Lienchy Metal utilizes an eco-friendly water-based process to bond PVF film with various metal substrates, creating highly durable and robust outdoor PVF laminated metal, ideal for diverse architectural and industrial applications.

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.

PVF laminated metal panels are suitable for various building exteriors

Product Feature

Fire-Resistant:PVF laminated metal panels have passed strict fire safety certifications, including:
- Fire Resistance certified by EASA(European Union Aviation Safety Agency) & FAA(U.S. Federal Aviation Administration)
- ASTM E84 Class A (American Society for Testing and Materials)
- NFPA 286 (U.S. National Fire Protection Association standard)
- Japan Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (NM0717, NM1553) non-combustible material certification
These panels effectively reduce the risk of fire spread and emit low levels of toxic gases and smoke in case of combustion, enhancing fire safety in buildings. This makes them an excellent choice for metal roofs and exterior walls in wildfire-prone areas.
Superior UV Resistance for Long-Term Protection:Tedlar® PVF film offers better UV protection compared to acrylic, PVC, and PVDF films. Even after long-term sun exposure, the panels maintain their original color, gloss, and structural integrity, making them perfect for harsh outdoor environments.
Corrosion & Acid-Alkali Resistance:The specialized PVF film structure has chemically inert, providing outstanding resistance to chemical solvents, salt spray, acid rain, and industrial pollutants, ensuring long-term metal surface protection in coastal and high-pollution areas.
Easy Maintenance & High Durability:The hydrophobic surface repels water stains, oil, and dust, preventing dirt accumulation. Durability tests confirm that PVF film outperforms PVDF films, requiring only water or mild cleaning agents to maintain a clean and polished appearance.
Mold, Mildew, Bacteria Resistant: Tedlar® PVF film effectively inhibits mold and bacterial growth, passing the ASTM G21 anti-fungal test and earning UL Greenguard Gold certification. This makes it an excellent choice for medical facilities, schools, hotels, and other environments requiring strict hygiene control.
High Strength & Excellent Workability:PVF laminated metal panels remain crack-free even after rigorous 0T bending tests. They are suitable for metal roofing, exterior walls, and fire-resistant building materials, meeting various architectural and construction needs.
Versatile & High-Quality Aesthetic:Available in a variety of colors, including transparent, warm, cool, and neutral tones, PVF laminated metal panels offer diverse design options. Additionally, the surface texture helps reduce light pollution, contributing to an environmentally friendly architectural appearance.
