3.6 kg/m²
60°C

Altro Whiterock Digiclad (Custom) extruded sheets can be hardcoated with a gloss or matt coating for added scratch resistance. This will give additional, but limited resistance to some forms of graffiti. (Hardcoating is optional and being a liquid coating there is a risk of inclusions appearing in the surface finish). The product is supplied to site with protective film or bubble wrap to its face.

It is ideal for applications requiring a hygienic easy-to-clean, almost maintenance free wall finish, which conforms to UK hygiene requirements.

Fixing

The sheets can be fixed directly to most dry substrates depending on their surface suitability, using one of the following methods:

  1. AltroFix™ W139 all over adhesive
  2. AltroFix™ W157 all over adhesive (substrate surfaces to be of a high standard and porous)

Cutting

Cutting to be carried out using a fine tooth circular saw with TCT cutting blades and pressure guide, fine tooth blade jigsaw, a fine tooth handsaw, a high speed TCT router.

Jointing

Can be jointed in any of the following ways. Contact Altro for relevant drawings

  1. Printed matching high impact 2 part ‘H’ section joint strips
  2. Silicone joint 3-4mm wide
  3. Hot welded – ask for details
  4. Butt Joining

Internal / external corners

Altro Whiterock Digiclad (Custom) is normally thermoformed on site, so that window and door reveals are neatly clad without a corner trim.
Note: the corners cannot be thermoformed if the gloss or matt hard coating has been applied. In these circumstances, the internal corners can be scribed and butted into the corner and sealed with silicone sealant. The external corners will be fitted using an unprinted 20 x 20mm pvc angle colour co-ordinated to match the base sheet.


Cleaning

The product can be cleaned using a soft cloth and suitable diluted mild detergent.
Do not use abrasive pads or wire wool.
Do not clean above 60°C.
Cleaning cards are available on request.

Chemical resistance

Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, specific details on request.

Availability

Made to order with 21 day lead time – please see the Altro Whiterock Digiclad brochure.

Storage & conditioning (on-site)

Sheets should be stored flat, fully supported and left for 24 hours to attain the ambient room temperature prior to installation(min 14°C).

Limitations of use

Altro Whiterock Digiclad has a maximum working temperature of 60°C.
