Armour

External Wall Cladding

Merino Armour™ External Wall Cladding epitomizes beauty and toughness. It has been built with the superior external cladding technology called “Merino Superclad Technology” which makes the exteriors endurable to the core and helps it withstand the impact of erratic weather conditions.

TECHNOLOGY THAT STANDS APART

A. UV RESISTANT TOP LAYER COATED WITH WITH POLYURETHANE (PU) AND 3 LAYERS OF ACRYLIC :

This technology is the Superclad technology. A multi layer of acrylic along with a special grade of “highly UV absorber enriched Polyurethane (PU)” is coated on top of the clad. Due to this, the cladding conforms to both EGS and EDS grade requirement, enabling total quantity of UV absorber remains much higher than conventional film pressing clad.

B. ELECTRON BEAM CURING TOP LATER :

In this technology, Merino Armour™ is treated with the mix of natural fibres and thermosetting resins on the top layer, under very high pressure and temperature.

C. HIGH ABRASION OVERLAY :

This layer confirms that the Merino EWC remains absolutely changing weather condition abuse resistant. The climate shock along with abrasions deteriorate the decorative paper and then the entire clad, but this layer increases the scratch and abrasion resistance.

D. DECORATIVE PAPER :

Selected from the premium ranges of Merino Laminates, we bring you 41 highly aesthetic decorative papers that not only gels with the exterior elements but also sooth your preferences of colors.

E. KRAFT PAPER :

Melamine and Phenolic resins are best known for binding agents. Together these two resins act beautifully in binding the entire layer with the kraft paper. Ensuring no tearing, breaking or deteriorating of clad at any season.

Key Features

Armoured Against All Weather

Highly weather-resistant even when exposed to extreme cold or heat conditions and extreme levels of humidity.

Armoured Against UV

A special UV protected treatment makes the claddings UV resistant and prevents discolouring under long exposure to direct sunlight.

Armoured Against Climatic Shock

It is resistant to a sudden change in temperature and humidity in the atmosphere.

Armoured Against Corrosion

Absolutely corrosion-free unlike other external cladding products.

Armoured Against Graffiti

IWC Laminate is graffiti-resistant to eliminate vandalism concerns, scratches, and much more.

Armoured Against Termites

Highly resistant to termite and fungal attack.

Armoured Against Moisture

Highly moisture resistant hence, ideal for use in all types of exterior cladding.

Armoured Against Impact

It is impact resistant and has a very good modulus of elasticity due to the modified phenolic resin.

Armoured Against Abrasion

It has superior abrasion and wear resistance capabilities which gives it good lifespan.

Armoured Against Fire

Special edition claddings are resistant to high temperatures and flame conditions. EWC is available with flame retardant grade.

INTRODUCTION

Merino External Wall Cladding is a solid exterior grade compact high pressure laminate. It is specially treated with acrylic resin and electron beam curing, thus providing it with weather resistance and UV resistance. The range has multiple design configurations, sizes, shapes, and is optimized for multiple applications including residence, shopping malls, hotels, apartments, office buildings, retail, airports etc. The EWC range is powered with high levels of resistance to weather, UV rays, climatic shock, corrosion, graffiti, pollutants and abrasion.
Advantages
Recorded as ‘Energy Saving System’
- The process aids in removal of heat and moisture from rain or condensation in the cavity through continuous air ventilation, results in 20% decreased energy consumption to retain indoor room temperature.
- Also the insulation remains corrosion free due to minimal intervention with water or moisture through rain.
