Applications of Our PVC Compounds & Polymers in Siding Products

Residential Siding Applications

Homeowners demand siding that maintains its appearance for decades while requiring minimal maintenance.

Our AuroraTec exterior weatherable rigid PVC compounds meet AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) standards for outdoor performance and are highly impact resistant. These compounds are available in powder or pellet form with various color options.

Applications include vinyl siding, exterior wall panels, decorative cladding, soffit, and fascia. These materials provide long-lasting color retention, texture consistency, and weather resistance for single-family homes, townhouses, and multi-family residences.

Commercial Building Siding

Commercial buildings require siding materials that combine professional aesthetics with exceptional durability.

AuroraShield™ PVC/Acrylic alloy capstocks are highly-weatherable, pelletized compounds designed for exterior applications. These materials combine the easy processability of rigid PVC with the superior weatherability of acrylic, making them ideal for high-traffic commercial environments.

Applications include exterior facades, storefront cladding, high-rise building exteriors, retail centers, and office complexes. These impact-resistant materials withstand heavy environmental and mechanical stress while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

Aurora Material Solutions offers custom thermoplastics solutions for Commercial Building Siding

Industrial Siding Applications

Industrial facilities face demanding conditions including chemical exposure, extreme temperatures, and mechanical stress.

AuroraGuard™ CPVC compounds are ideal for applications requiring low smoke and high-heat performance. These materials provide excellent flame and smoke ratings for industrial environments where safety is paramount.

Applications include industrial building walls, warehouse cladding, storage facility exteriors, manufacturing plants, and processing facilities. Our materials deliver long-term protection against harsh weather, chemical exposure, and UV degradation.

Cellular Foam & Wood Replacement Siding

Our Auroralite cellular foam RPVC products make an excellent wood replacement, combining the maintenance-free features of vinyl with the matte finish look of painted wood.

These materials allow easy nailing and screwing while providing mildew resistance, rot resistance, and weight reduction properties.

Applications include wood-look siding, architectural trim, custom millwork, and historic restoration projects. Cellular PVC siding offers the aesthetic appeal of traditional wood without the ongoing maintenance, rot, or insect damage concerns.

Aurora Material Solutions offers Durable Compounds for Cellular Foam & Wood Replacement Siding

Architectural & Aesthetic Applications

Modern architecture demands materials that offer design flexibility without compromising performance.

AuroraShield ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylic) provides outstanding weather resistance with excellent UV, water whitening, and stress crack resistance. These grades exhibit low heat build-up, good flow, impact strength, and dark color weatherability.

Helpful Resources for Siding Manufacturers

FAQs

What are the best materials for manufacturing durable siding products?

The best materials depend on your specific application requirements. For residential vinyl siding, AuroraTec exterior weatherable rigid PVC compounds meet AAMA standards and provide excellent impact resistance. For premium applications requiring superior weatherability, AuroraShield PVC/Acrylic capstocks offer excellent UV stability and can be applied thinner than standard PVC. For wood-replacement siding, Auroralite cellular foam RPVC combines vinyl durability with a matte painted-wood finish. Our R&D team can help identify the optimal material for your specific needs.

How do custom polymer formulations improve siding performance?

Custom polymer formulations allow us to engineer materials with specific properties tailored to your application. This includes enhanced UV stability for fade resistance, improved impact strength for hail and debris protection, optimized processability for manufacturing efficiency, and custom color matching for brand consistency. By formulating compounds specifically for your requirements, we can optimize durability, aesthetic appeal, and long-term performance while reducing production costs.

Are Aurora’s materials compliant with industry regulations?

Yes, our siding materials meet rigorous industry standards. AuroraTec exterior weatherable rigid PVC compounds meet AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) standards for outdoor performance. We offer formulations compliant with REACH, ISO, and ASTM standards. AuroraShield ASA products include recyclable and environmentally-friendly options that support sustainable building initiatives.

What is PVC siding and why is it popular?

PVC siding is exterior wall cladding made from polyvinyl chloride compounds. It is popular because it offers excellent durability, weather resistance, low maintenance requirements, and cost-effectiveness compared to wood, fiber cement, or aluminum alternatives. Modern PVC siding compounds like AuroraTec and AuroraShield provide superior UV stability, impact resistance, and color retention while requiring virtually no painting, staining, or sealing throughout their service life.

How does UV stability improve siding longevity?

UV stability prevents the molecular breakdown that occurs when polymer materials are exposed to sunlight. Without proper UV stabilization, siding can fade, chalk, crack, and become brittle over time. Our AuroraShield PVC/Acrylic alloys exhibit excellent weathering stability and resistance to water whitening. AuroraShield ASA provides outstanding UV resistance with dark color weatherability, ensuring siding maintains its appearance for decades even in harsh sun exposure conditions.
