Outdoor wall cladding has to face the elements every single day. Hot summers, cold winters, heavy rains, or salty sea winds, every condition pushes building materials to their limits. For distributors and buyers, the real concern is not how nice cladding looks on day one, but how it performs after five or ten years in service.
MexyTech has been in the WPC industry for more than a decade. Through continuous research and patented innovations, the company has developed next generation WPC wall cladding that is designed to survive these challenges. Supported by international test reports and real project data, MexyTech helps distributors answer customer doubts with confidence.
Wood tends to rot and split. Metals may corrode or dent. Even concrete walls can stain or crack. WPC cladding, made from a mix of recycled plastic and natural fibers, offers a balance of durability and aesthetics. But still, buyers want proof that it can truly handle different climates.
Most distributors we speak to share the same list of questions from clients:
Will the cladding fade in strong sun?
Does it swell or deform when it rains?
Will it crack in freezing winters?
Is it safe enough to pass fire codes?
These concerns directly affect purchase decisions. If a distributor cannot provide solid answers, projects may go to competing materials.
MexyTech addresses these pain points with product upgrades across generations. The CO-extusion protect layer uses a special surface layer that resists UV damage. The aluminum wood solid panel cladding combine the strength of metal with the warmth of natural texture. These designs are backed by patents such as anti expansion edge profiles and drainage grooves.
In desert or tropical countries, high surface temperature and UV light are the main threats. Intertek testing showed MexyTech WPC cladding had a thermal expansion coefficient of 30.2×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹, meaning panels expand only slightly from 20°C to 80°C.
UV resistance is also critical. In a 3000 hour UV aging test, WPC panels kept a grey scale rating of 4, with color change ΔE under 3.0. For reference, grey scale 5 means “no change” and 1 means “severe fading.” A score of 4 after such a long test shows strong color stability.
Cold weather can cause some composites to become brittle. MexyTech WPC cladding went through freeze thaw cycles at 29°C. Even after three cycles of freezing and thawing, bending strength stayed at 28.8 MPa, close to its original state.
For distributors working in markets like Northern Europe or Canada, this data means fewer complaints and replacements. It also makes it easier to present WPC cladding as a safe long term choice when pitching to contractors.
Water damage is one of the biggest killers of wood based materials. MexyTech’s WPC products have a water absorption rate of only 0.48% under ASTM D1037 tests. SGS confirmed that WPC panels had 1.8% absorption with 0% swelling after 24 hours in water.
Because the outer layer is less porous, it does not hold water inside. This reduces mold growth and keeps the surface cleaner. For customers in Southeast Asia or South America, this feature reduces maintenance time and cost.
Coastal projects are some of the toughest environments. Salt in the air can eat away at metals and even concrete. MexyTech’s WPC and aluminum wood solid panel cladding passed 2000 hour salt spray tests with no structural damage.
UV plus salt is a brutal combination. Still, MexyTech WPC panels showed stable performance with low ΔE color change, staying attractive even after prolonged exposure.
Resort owners do not want to repaint or replace panels every two years. For distributors, being able to show certified results is a strong selling point when bidding for coastal developments.
When selecting a supplier, distributors should ask for independent test reports on:
Thermal expansion
Water absorption and swelling
UV aging results
Freeze thaw resistance
Fire classification
MexyTech provides certified reports from Intertek and SGS covering all these areas.
In February 2025, SGS confirmed that MexyTech composite wall panels achieved EN13501 1 Class B s3, d0. This means the panels meet strict European fire safety requirements, no lateral flame spread, low smoke growth, and no flaming droplets.
MexyTech has also completed REACH testing for chemicals of concern, ensuring compliance with EU regulations. For distributors, this removes risks during import and sales.
MexyTech is not just another WPC manufacturer. With patented designs, strong supply capacity, and proven international certifications, they help distributors close deals faster. By offering consultation and tailored solutions, MexyTech positions itself as a reliable problem solver for projects in all climates.
Q1: Does WPC cladding need extra waterproofing in rainy areas?
No. With absorption under 2% and swelling at 0%, MexyTech panels are already resistant to water. Simple cleaning is enough.
Q2: How often should cladding in coastal areas be maintained?
Usually once or twice a year. A quick wash with fresh water helps remove salt, but no repainting or sealing is needed.
Q3: Will the color fade quickly in strong sun?
Not significantly. After 3000 hours of UV testing, WPC panels still had a grey scale rating of 4, meaning color remains stable.
Q4: Are MexyTech products safe for the European market?
Yes. They have passed EN13501 1 fire classification (B s3, d0) and REACH chemical screening. This makes them acceptable under strict EU building codes.
Q5: Can distributors request customized designs?
Yes. MexyTech works closely with distributors to match styles, colors, and technical requirements for specific projects.
