Overlay technology that enhances the performance of timber building products

Chemical resistant boards

The high performance overlays can be formulated to provide resistance to chemical substances such as spills from engine oil or paint.

Arctek Technology by Arclin is an overlay performance solution fused to a wood based panel such as oriented strand board (OSB), medium-density fibreboard (MDF), particle board or plywood in factory conditions. Selected Arctek overlays enhance the chemical resistance of wood based panels, extending the design life of the panel substrate. Whether it is oil or paint spill on a shed floor, or alkaline resistance needed for formwork overlay,

Arctek overlays provide a customized solution.
Arctek Technology helps extending the design life of the wood based panel substrate, which reduces project costs. The technology is environmentally sustainable and provides an economical alternative to traditional surfacing methods.

Benefits of chemical resistant boards

  • Customised solutions for chemical resistance
  • From simple household chemicals, to alkalic concrete
  • Protecting the panel, extending the design life

Applications for chemical resistance

Formwork panels for concrete construction

Formwork Panels

Formwork, or shuttering, is a process of creating a mould from plywood or other timber manufactured materials for concrete to be poured into and formed. Arctek Technology is a high performance overlay solution that creates a smooth, homogenous surface and acts as a moisture barrier that enhances the quality of formwork timber panels and the finished concrete works. Due to its high masking ability Arctek formwork solutions are especially suited for rough surfaces like softwood plywood and OSB. Arctek formwork solutions are very robust and allow for a high number of pours.
