Aluminium : Dura Clad
ALUMINIUM DURA CLAD: CLADDING SHEETS
Dura-Clad® panel is made from Aluminium Alloy AA3003 H24 temper, which is widely used, in marine and industrial applications. Building materials for exterior and interior use, curtain walling and wall paneling. Its is superior in flatness and non-combustible DIN Standard.
Dura-Clad® is manufactured from state of art coil-coating system using PVF2/PVDF (Kynar 500/ Hylar 5000 resin) paint. It comes in 2 coats for solid colour or 3 coats for metallic finish. Dura-Clad® is highly consistent in colour stability , gloss retention, resistance to UV-A, UV-B & UV-C radiation and remains very beautiful for a very long time.

STANDARDS FOR FIRE REQUIREMENT
Dura-Clad® with PVF2/PVDF Fluorocarbon coatings have been tested and approved by SIRIM for :-
BS476 Part 6 : Fire Propagation for Products
Certification No: 2001FE0006
BS476 Part 7 : Surface Spread of Flame Test for Materials
Certification No: 2001FE0001
Dura-Clad® Panels COMPLY with the Fire Requirements for Materials specified Under the Malaysia Uniform Building By-Laws (UBBL) 1984.
* Index I indicates fire propagation index is 0.8
* Class One indicates surface of surface spread of Flame.
COIL COATING PROCESS
Coating on a high speed technologically advanced paint-line. Surface pre-treatment by Chromating, cover layers, primer and stoving of paint at temperatures between 249°C to 254°C. Wet film thickness 59-67 microns ensures excellent durability and excellent Surface finishes for exterior applications.
