Siding
Aurora Material Solutions offers an exceptionally strong and durable line of compounds for siding applications, including AuroraTec™ rigid PVCs, AuroraGuard™ CPVC and Auroralite™ cellular foam rigid PVC products. We also offer our AuroraShield™ premium pellet capstocks for the ultimate in durability.
The AuroraShield line of PVC/Acrylic alloy capstocks are highly-weatherable, pelletized compounds designed for exterior applications such as fencing, siding, deck and rail, arbors/pergolas, windows, and doors. AuroraShield PVC/Acrylic alloys exhibit excellent weathering stability and resistance to water whitening. A major additional benefit is that AuroraShield products possess superior processability attributes. These compounds combine the easy processability of rigid PVC and the superior weatherability of acrylic. These highly durable, pelletized capstock compounds are ideal for darker colors and can be applied thinner than standard PVC capstocks. Thinner capstock requires less material, making our AuroraShield PVC/Acrylic capstock a high-performance economical solution for exterior applications.
AuroraTec exterior weatherable rigid PVC compounds meet AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) standards for outdoor performance and are highly impact resistant. These compounds are available in powder or pellet form in various colors for siding applications.
AuroraGuard™ CPVC Compounds are ideal in applications that require low smoke, high-heat performance. As a result, it is ideal for a variety of building and construction applications that require high temperature and/or flame performance and smoke ratings such as siding, windows, fences, electrical, custom extrusion, and custom injection molding.
Our Auroralite cellular foam RPVC products make an excellent wood replacement, combining the maintenance-free features of vinyl with the matte finish look of painted wood. They allow easy nailing and screwing while providing mildew resistance, rot resistance, and weight reduction properties. These compounds are highly recommended for siding applications.
AuroraShield™ ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylic) is an amorphous compound designed to provide outstanding weather resistance. Similar to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) in mechanical properties, ASA provides excellent ultraviolet (UV), water whitening and stress crack resistance. These grades exhibit low heat build-up, good flow, good aesthetics, impact strength, toughness, flame retardancy, dark color weatherability and a wide range of viscosities. This series also has recyclable and environmental-friendly products. It can be processed using compounding.
Our R&D experts will help you develop the formulation that meets your specific application requirements.
