AG-TUF® Corrugated PVC Liner Panels

AG-TUF® CORRUGATED PVC

Corrugated PVC liner panels for industrial and agricultural interior cladding and lining applications

AG-TUF corrugated PVC liner panels have been produced by Palram for more than 50 years and have been used to clad the interiors of many types of industrial and agricultural structures around the world. From hog barns to dairy sheds or poultry houses, car washes, chemical processing plants, or fertilizer storage facilities, AG-TUF panels hold up where other products don’t. As they are resistant to chemicals, these panels can be cleaned frequently to facilitate maximum sanitary maintenance while still offering extended service in harsh chemical environments. AG-TUF panels are easy to install using ordinary tools. They can be used to line the interior of your structure to make it instantly become brighter, easier-to-maintain, and provide an attractive glossy appearance. AG-TUF corrugated PVC liner panels are one of many Palram products for these market segments.

WHY AVOID METAL SHEETS IN CHEMICALLY AGGRESSIVE AND CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS?

Agricultural environments such as barns, pigpens, hen houses, dairies, and stables can present multiple challenges for any interior lining or cladding material. Gases such as ammonia and hydrogen are common in livestock feeding or housing environments, and they are the source of quick and widespread rust and corrosion for metal. This corrosion results in high maintenance and replacement costs. AG-TUF sheets offer a corrosion-free and chemical-resistant alternative that provides farmers with years of low cost, low maintenance and greater hygiene.

Industrial environments such as mining and chemical processing plants create dust and ash that, when combined with mist, rain, and perhaps even saltwater, coat the roofing with a layer of sentiment that is highly corrosive to metals. But not in the case of AG-TUF. These corrugated PVC lining boards are virtually maintenance free and endure a wide variety of gases and chemicals for the lifespan of the panel—and under the harshest conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to pre-drill fastener holes in roofing with corrugated panels?

+ -

Pre-drilling the holes ensures that the panels have room to expand and contract properly with temperature changes. Skipping this step can lead to distorted, warped or cracked panels.

Is PALRUF resistant to UV radiation?

+ -

Yes, PALRUF corrugated PVC is resistant to UV.

Can corrugated sheets be curved?

+ -

Yes. Corrugated sheets can be cold-curved to create arched shapes. It's important to follow the relevant Palram specifications for minimum radius in cold-curving, which can be found in the Installation Instructions of the relevant sheets. In addition, corrugated sheets should be arched so that the corrugations themselves are curved lengthwise.

When should I use PVC corrugated sheets versus polycarbonate corrugated sheets?

+ -

PVC corrugated sheets are mainly used for opaque roofing and siding of industrial buildings in highly-corrosive environments such as port warehouses, cowsheds, and dairies. Polycarbonate corrugated sheets are mainly used as roofing or siding where natural daylight illumination is needed.
