Exterior Decorative Compact Board
Weather-resistant panels for outdoor applications with UV protection
Quick Specifications
Product Overview
Exterior Decorative Compact Board is an advanced architectural cladding material engineered specifically for outdoor applications. Manufactured using UV-stabilized decorative paper and weather-resistant phenolic resin, laminated under high pressure (120-140 kg/cm²) and temperature (160-180°C) to create a dense, homogeneous panel with exceptional durability. The surface incorporates specialized UV inhibitors and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) to prevent color fading and maintain aesthetic appearance for 10+ years in direct sunlight. Weather resistance testing exceeds 2000 hours salt spray exposure (ASTM B117) and 1000+ hours accelerated weathering (ASTM G154) without delamination, cracking, or significant color change (ΔE <3). The closed-cell core structure (≥1.45 g/cm³) provides 100% waterproofing, preventing moisture absorption that could cause swelling or warping. Thermal expansion coefficient matches aluminum framing systems for stable installation. Fire rating: Class B1 (GB 8624) or Class 1 (EN 13501-1) depending on thickness. Available in 100+ colors, patterns, and surface textures including wood grain, stone, metallic, and solid colors. Thickness range: 6mm to 12mm for standard facades, up to 20mm for high-wind load areas. Suitable for ventilated facade systems, rainscreen cladding, balcony panels, canopy soffits, and architectural feature walls. Meets international building codes including ASTM, EN, AS/NZS, and GB standards for exterior cladding materials. Low maintenance requirements - periodic washing with water maintains appearance.

Applications
Commercial Building Facades & Rainscreen Cladding
Permanent InstallationPrimary application for modern commercial architecture including office towers, shopping centers, hotels, and mixed-use developments. The ventilated facade system allows moisture vapor to escape while protecting the building envelope from weather. Lightweight panels (compared to stone or metal) reduce structural load and installation costs. Available in large format panels (up to 1850×4200mm) for seamless contemporary aesthetics. Typical installation uses concealed aluminum subframe with mechanical fasteners or adhesive bonding. UV-resistant surface maintains color integrity for 10-15 years without repainting. Thermal expansion joints accommodate building movement. Common finishes include wood grain (for natural look without wood maintenance), solid colors (corporate branding), and metallic (modern industrial aesthetic). Meets fire safety codes for high-rise buildings. Popular in sustainable building projects for LEED/BREEAM certification.
Balcony & Terrace Railings and Privacy Screens
Permanent InstallationIdeal for residential and hospitality balcony systems requiring both aesthetic appeal and weather durability. The waterproof core prevents moisture damage from rain exposure and humidity. Fade-resistant surface maintains appearance despite constant sun exposure. Used for solid balcony panels, decorative infill between posts, and full-height privacy screens. Typical thickness: 8-12mm for residential, 12-16mm for commercial applications. Resists mold and algae growth in humid climates. Easy to clean - rain naturally washes surface. Available in translucent options for light transmission while maintaining privacy. Common installations include apartment balconies, hotel terraces, rooftop decks, and poolside privacy walls. Meets building code requirements for balcony railing infill (wind load, impact resistance).
Outdoor Canopies, Soffits & Architectural Features
Permanent InstallationPerfect for building entrance canopies, walkway covers, parking structure soffits, and decorative architectural elements. The weather-resistant surface withstands rain, snow, and temperature extremes without deterioration. Lightweight nature allows cantilever designs and large overhangs. Used for gas station canopy ceilings, building entrance soffits, transit shelter panels, and outdoor signage substrates. Resists warping and sagging even in high-temperature environments (tested to 80°C). Fire-resistant properties meet code requirements for building overhangs. Available in perforated options for acoustic control and ventilation. Common applications include airport terminal canopies, stadium entrance covers, commercial building soffits, and outdoor pavilions.
Exterior Signage & Branding Elements
Permanent InstallationExcellent substrate for outdoor corporate signage, wayfinding systems, and architectural branding. The flat, stable surface accepts vinyl graphics, digital printing, or CNC routing for dimensional lettering. UV resistance prevents sign fading and maintains brand color accuracy. Weather-resistant core eliminates warping or delamination common with wood-based sign substrates. Typical uses include building identification signs, directional wayfinding, parking structure graphics, and outdoor menu boards. Lightweight panels simplify mounting and reduce wind load on sign structures. Available in white or colored backgrounds to match brand guidelines. Resists graffiti - smooth surface allows easy cleaning. Popular for retail storefronts, corporate campuses, healthcare facility wayfinding, and hospitality property identification.
