Flexoflash has successfully completed an 18,000-hour UV exposure test in accordance with EN 1297 standards. This rigorous test simulates prolonged outdoor exposure, equivalent to over 24 years under an 8-hour UV cycle at 50°C and a 2-hour water cycle. This extensive testing far surpasses standard UV assessments, demonstrating Flexoflash’s exceptional durability in high UV environments. This makes it particularly suitable for regions with intense sun exposure and harsh conditions, such as Australia.

In contrast, other flashings on the market, which are UV-tested for only 2,000 hours, may be more susceptible to degradation over time in extreme climates without additional maintenance.

Flexoflash’s superior UV resilience and polyisobutylene (PIB) composition ensure exceptional performance stability, particularly in coastal or high-sun regions. This gives it a significant advantage in applications demanding prolonged durability compared to other flashings, which can be based on modified silane (MS) polymers. These polymers combine the properties of silicone and polyurethane but are only UV-tested for 2,000 hours.
