uPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride. Generally, what people know is PVC. So, what is the difference between PVC and uPVC? There are several variances of PVC, but only two types of PVC that are mostly used in everyday life, ie plasticized PVC and unplasticized PVC.

The plasticized PVC is made by adding a plasticizer additive in its production process to make it flexible or easily bent, example for this type of PVC is the hose, the electric cable, shoe sole, etc.

uPVC in contrary, there is no plasticizer additive is added in the making of it. As a result, the product made from uPVC is rigid, and doesn’t flex, products usually made from this type of PVC are window frames, doors, fascia, claddings, roofing, etc.

Alderon Twinwall is a uPVC roof that provides a cool environment solution for your house. Currently, Alderon comes in 4 natural color variants; white (doff), blue (doff), white translucent and blue translucent. With its natural color, Alderon Twinwall does not absorb heat.

Why does Alderon Twinwall currently only come up with natural colors? Because by using natural colors, the uPVC roof does not need to use a A.S.A (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) layer. A.S.A layer is a thermoplastic layer developed as an alternative to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

On uPVC roofing products, A.S.A is only used by uPVC roofs that are light-colored, because light-colored roofs are easy to absorb light so A.S.A coating is used as a heat reducer from sunlight. Alderon Twinwall, although not using the A.S.A coating, remains as a cool environment solution for your house.
