PALCLAD Pro HYG Thermoform/Laminate (old)

PALCLAD™ PRO HYG ANTIMICROBIAL* PVC

Solid PVC Panels for Thermoforming & Lamination

PALCLAD PRO HYG is an antimicrobial, rigid thermoplastic sheet that can be easily thermoformed or used as a laminate over Palram's PALIGHT™ cellular polymer sheets or wood substrates like MDF, particle board, or plywood. Silver-ion technology protects the product against the growth of microbes such as bacteria, mold and mildew that cause stains and odors. It does so by disrupting the ability of these microorganisms to reproduce.

PALCLAD PRO HYG is the surfacing and panel solution for common areas within healthcare suites and hospitals, schools and universities, dormitories, locker rooms, gyms, daycare, long-term care, retail environments, office spaces and manufacturing facilities.

*Palram’s antimicrobial technology does not protect users or others against disease causing bacteria, germs, viruses or other harmful organisms. This technology is not a substitute for good hygiene and/or cleaning practices. Not for sale in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the protective polyethylene films on certain sheets?

+ -

The protective films in flat (non-corrugated) Palram sheets are for protection against dirt and scratching during the long journey from manufacturing to the job site. In some cases, the film also carries important installation and other product information.

The film will also indicate which side is UV-protected. This side should be installed facing outwards (extremely important).

In most cases, we recommend peeling off the protective films after installation. If this is not possible for practical reasons, always mark the UV protected surface, if there is one, so that the sheet will not be installed upside down.

Important note: The protective films that cover Palram sheets are highly sensitive to heat and direct sunlight. Excessive heat and direct sunlight before taking off the film can cause gluing of that film to the sheet surface, after which it will be extremely difficult to remove it from the sheet.

How should I store Palram sheets when not in use?

+ -

Store sheets in a protected, shaded, ventilated site, with no direct exposure to sunlight and winds. For outdoor temporary storage, cover with an opaque protective tarp, avoiding heat-absorbing materials.

Important note: Palram flat (non-corrugated) panels have a protective surface film that keeps the product safe from dirt and scratches during the long journey from manufacturing to the job site.

These films are sensitive to heat and direct sunlight. Excessive heat and direct sunlight before taking off the film can cause that film to bond the sheet surface, after which it will be extremely difficult to remove the film from the sheet.

How long do Palram PVC and polycarbonate products last?

+ -

Palram manufactures a variety of different products for different applications. Most have industry-leading warranties against manufacturing related defects, as well as specific warranties related to the intended use for the product.

However, with proper installation and maintenance, our products typically far exceed their warranty periods.

Many of our products are engineered to be installed outdoors and are warranted accordingly. Nevertheless, the lifespan of outdoor products can be affected by how well they were installed, as well as environmental factors like air pollution, sun exposure, winds and erosion by airborne particles.

Warranty details can be found in the Downloads tab under the Warranties section at the bottom of the page for each individual product.
