Weatherproof Films | Weather-Resistant Series

Our Weather-Resistant Series is engineered for exterior architectural applications where long-term outdoor exposure — UV radiation, temperature cycling, humidity, and pollution — is a certainty rather than a risk to plan around. Offered across five distinct surface material constructions, this series has been specified on large-scale infrastructure projects including Beijing Daxing International Airport and Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, giving fabricators a materials range proven at scale.

Technical Specifications

Thickness Range 0.16mm – 0.20mm
Standard Width 1250mm
Outdoor Weathering Resistance 10,000 hours
Indoor Weathering Resistance 3,000 hours
Applications Exterior curtain walls, color-coated steel roofing, window frames, window sills
Processing Methods Flat lamination, wrapping

Five Surface Material Options

This series is available in five surface material constructions, each pairing a weather-resistant top layer with a PVC base. The right choice depends on your project's exposure conditions, performance requirements, and budget:

Construction Typical Fit
PVDF + PVC High-performance exterior facades and roofing; specified on Beijing Daxing International Airport
PVF + PVC High-performance exterior applications; specified on Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport
PMMA (surface) + PVC (base) Exterior applications prioritizing color and gloss retention
ASA General exterior use balancing weatherability and cost
PETG (surface) + PVC (base) Exterior applications where surface clarity and processing flexibility are priorities

If you're specifying materials for a particular project type or climate zone, share the exposure conditions and we can recommend the most suitable construction.

Proven on Large-Scale Infrastructure Projects

This series has been applied on major public infrastructure where exterior material performance is subject to rigorous specification review: the PVDF+PVC construction was used at Beijing Daxing International Airport, and the PVF+PVC construction at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. For fabricators and specifiers evaluating exterior film options, this track record on airport-scale projects reflects the level of weathering, color stability, and durability testing these constructions have already passed.

Understanding the Weathering Test Data

The 10,000-hour outdoor and 3,000-hour indoor weathering figures come from accelerated weathering testing, which simulates UV exposure, temperature cycling, and moisture over a condensed timeframe to estimate long-term real-world performance. These figures are a standard reference point used across the architectural film industry to compare material durability — the specific real-world lifespan will still depend on installation quality, climate, and orientation of the finished surface. We're glad to walk through how these figures apply to your project's specific exposure conditions.

Compliance & Environmental Standards

The Weather-Resistant Series is formulated without 6P plasticizers and free of the eight restricted heavy metals, meeting RoHS 10-item compliance requirements. It also complies with the EU SVHC candidate list, covering more than 200 substances of very high concern currently listed. These credentials support buyers supplying export markets or public infrastructure projects where environmental documentation is a procurement requirement — supporting test reports are available on request.

Some FAQs

1. Which material construction should I choose for an exterior curtain wall project?

PVDF+PVC and PVF+PVC constructions are typically specified for high-performance exterior facades where long-term color and gloss retention under continuous UV exposure is critical — both have track records on airport-scale projects. Share your project's climate and exposure conditions and we can recommend the best fit.

2. Is this series suitable for color-coated steel roofing applications?

Yes, color-coated steel roofing is one of this series' core applications, along with curtain walls, window frames, and window sills — all surfaces subject to sustained outdoor exposure.

3. What's the difference between the outdoor and indoor weathering ratings?

The 10,000-hour rating applies to direct outdoor exposure conditions, while the 3,000-hour rating applies to indoor or sheltered exterior applications with reduced UV and weather exposure. Choosing the right construction depends on where the finished panel will actually be installed.

4. Can this series be thermoformed for curved architectural profiles?

This series supports flat lamination and wrapping processes. If your project requires vacuum-formed contoured profiles, let us know your application and we can advise on the most suitable film option.
