Overlay technology that enhances the performance of timber building products

Smooth or Textured Panels

Whether you are looking to create a contoured or textured finish, or a completely smooth surface to paint, print, or prevent telegraphing, Arctek® Technology can be applied to the substrate to deliver the finish you require.

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. Arctek overlays smoothens roughnes on the surface of the panel, for instance in the case of OSB or softwood plywood. The result is a super smooth panel, which gives great paint, print or varnish results.

The Arctek solutions for concrete shuttering create superior smooth concrete casting results. A variety of Arctek overlays can be textured during thermal pressing of the overlay on the substrate. The textures possible are limitless, from wood grains to wiremesh, from high gloss to super matte. It’s your call how you want your substrate to look.

Benefits of Smooth or textured panels

  • Prevents telegraphy of the substrate surface
  • Provides smooth and identical surfaces for panel products
  • Superior paint, print or varnish results
  • Speeds up on site installation
  • Reduces labour intensive surface repair
  • Unlimited textures possible on a selection of overlays

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.
