POLYCOR AP CONSTRUCTION

1. Top Layer

The top exterior layer of PolyCor AP features one of the industry's thickest aluminum skins, delivering exceptional surface quality and enhanced durability. Designed to resist oil canning and maintain a smooth, flat appearance through temperature fluctuations, it combines premium aesthetics with long-lasting performance.

2. Inner Core

Fixed between the top and base layers of PolyCor AP is a cutting-edge polymer core. This specialized thermoplastic blend delivers an optimal balance of rigidity, strength, and lightweight characteristics, enhancing the composite’s overall stability.

3. Base Layer

Completing the PolyCor AP structure, the base layer consists of an aluminum sheet finished with a polyester primer coating that helps protect against corrosion. Matching the thickness of the top aluminum skin, this balanced construction helps resist warping and maintain a smooth, stable appearance. Together, these layers deliver the performance and premium finish that set PolyCor AP apart from competitive materials.

KEY BENEFITS & ADVANTAGES OF POLYCOR AP

PolyCor AP is a composite siding panel engineered to eliminate oil canning, the frustrating warp and wave that can affect traditional aluminum siding during temperature fluctuations. Its thick aluminum skin provides exceptional surface quality and dimensional stability, helping maintain a smooth, flat, professional appearance across large panels. Lighter than standard .040" aluminum and up to 25% lighter than .050" aluminum, PolyCor AP helps reduce weight without sacrificing strength or performance.

Designed for trailers and other specialty trailers or vehicles, PolyCor AP is waterproof, impact resistant, and built to withstand demanding environments and heavy daily use. It will not rot, rust, or warp, delivering reliable long term performance with minimal maintenance. When cleaning is needed, mild soap and water are all it takes to keep panels looking their best.

*Note: Aluminum skin thickness is a key differentiating characteristic of PolyCor AP compared to competitive products. Increased skin thickness may contribute to certain performance and appearance attributes of the panel.
