The technical characteristics of cladding are usually related to the specific requirements of the wide variety of application areas where these products are used. Cladding designed to perform specific tasks or used in environments that differ from each other may have markedly different technical characteristics.
Cladding designed as protection for the insulation materials can not only increase their mechanical resilience, but also enhance its resistance to a variety of climatic conditions as well as ultraviolet radiation, water vapor and gas permeability, corrosion, leach, acids and more.
Due to their properties, the coatings allow the installation of insulation systems and materials in applications with special requirements, such as marine applications, where excellent resistance to fresh and salt water is required, or industrial applications, where particularly high resistance to chemicals and oils, improved fire ratings or outstanding mechanical strength are required.
In addition to improving technical properties, cladding is often used to modify/improve the aesthetic value of an installation with uniform, visually appealing and easy-to-clean surfaces.
