Shanghai Cove New Materials Co., Ltd is committed to delivering high-quality, durable, and safe outdoor building materials. To ensure our PVC foil coated panels meet the highest industry standards, we have partnered with a leading professional testing company to conduct comprehensive performance and safety evaluations.
Why Professional Testing?
Outdoor PVC panels must withstand harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, moisture, and mechanical stress. Professional testing ensures:
Durability–Resistance to impact, bending, and thermal changes.
Safety–Compliance with fire safety, slip resistance, and environmental regulations.
Longevity–Protection against fading, deformation.
Key Tests Being Conducted
Our testing partner will rigorously evaluate the following properties of our PVC foil coated panels, the test is done by wall panels and deck panels separately:
For outdoor deck panels:
Mechanical & Structural Integrity–Ensures panels can withstand physical impacts.
Falling mass impact resistance - Check the panels can bear heavy impact without damage.
Flexural properties (Modulus of elasticity in bending, Bending strength)–Measures load-bearing capacity.
Creep behavior (Known span in use) - Ensure the panels’ ability with high pressure and no deformation.
Weather & Environmental Resistance
Resistance to artificial weathering, Bond Strength–Simulates years of sun and rain exposure.
Moisture resistance under cyclic test conditions, Bond Strength–Confirms performance in wet and freezing conditions.
Swelling and water absorption (use class 3 or 4)–Checks dimensional stability after water exposure.
Safety & Fire Performance
Reaction to Fire (Single Flame Test)–Evaluates flammability.
Spread of flame - Radiant heat source–Measures fire resistance.
Surface & Coating Durability
Abrasion Resistance–Tests wear and tear over time.
Degree of chalking (for coated products only)–Prevents fading and surface degradation.
Chemical & Environmental Compliance
RoHS (Heavy metals(Lead (Pb), Cdmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg),Chromium VI (Cr6+)) , PBBs/PBDEs, DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP)–Ensures no harmful substances like lead, or heavy metals.
Formaldehyde Emissions–Confirms low VOC levels for environmental safety.
Our Commitment to Quality
By outsourcing these tests to an accredited third-party lab, we guarantee:
Unbiased & Accurate Results.
Product Improvement–Using test data to refine our manufacturing process.
What’s Next?
Once testing is complete, we will:
Share the certification reports with our clients.
Implement any necessary product enhancements.
Continue monitoring quality through batch testing.
Trust in Certified Performance
We believe in transparency and reliability. By rigorously testing our outdoor PVC panels, we ensure they perform in good conditions—giving you confidence in every installation.
