Composition

Palliside is manufactured from specially formulated uPVC. The foamed cellular core coupled with the top coat form a lightweight yet durable cladding material. The outer layer provides additional impact and scratch resistance as well as excellent Ultra-Violet protection.

Technical Properties

Ultra-Violet Resistance – Palliside is manufactured to NZ and has excellent ultraviolet resistance. The product is guaranteed for 25 years.

The product is impervious to moisture so will not rot or breakdown while the anti-capilliary groove and interlocking nature of the design prevents moisture getting behind the weatherboards.

Palliside does not support spread of flame. It shrinks, melts and flows away from heat source.. Palliside is self-extinguishing and ceases to burn upon removal of the heat source.

Palliside is suitable for use in Coastal, Seaspray, or Geothermal zones.

Palliside has been tested to and meets the requirements of AS2921 appendix B for soft body inpacts, (250J between studs) and meets the hard body impact requirements of 44J.
