Overlay technology that enhances the performance of timber building products

Cleanable Panels

Arctek® surfaces are low maintenance and easy to clean making them an ideal solution for applications where surface dirt is problematic.

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. A range of Arctek overlays have been engineered to enhance cleanable wood based panels, improving their aesthetic appearance and reducing maintenance costs. 

From surface dirt on a facade to concrete residues after formwork, the Arctek overlay protects and creates an easy to clean surface. Increased cleanability means a lifetime of improved aesthetics. Arctek Technology further 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 cleanable panels

    • Reduces cleaning costs
  • Protects surfaces of panels from permanent damage due to dirt
  • Improving aesthetic appearance

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.

Doors

Arctek Technology is a high performance overlay solution that masks any defects in the wood panels and increases material compatibility with internal and external paints systems. The primer coating creates a smooth, moisture resistant surface that helps you to achieve a smooth paint finish in any colour as well as any gloss finish type.
