Hiraoka Architectural PVC HG102

Home \ Products \ Shade \ Architectural Fabrics \ Hiraoka Architectural PVC HG102
The HG102 is the backbone of the Hiraoka architectural range. A high-performance, PVC-coated polyester membrane that has earned its reputation as the standard-setter for medium-to large-scale architectural structures across Australia and around the world. The HG102 is engineered for balance, with its PVDF Finish/PVC-over-polyester construction delivering exceptional combination of structural strength, controlled light transmission, and long-term weather resistance, without compromise. Whether specified for a commercial canopy or a large tensile structure, the HG102 performs consistently across the full range of Australian climate conditions, from coastal humidity to arid heat. The PVDF surface treatment provides superior resistance to dirt accumulation and UV degradation, keeping the membrane looking and performing at its best with minimal maintenance, a critical consideration for large-scale installations where cleaning access is limited. With a temperature tolerance of −40°C to +70°C, the HG102 is at home in alpine environments and in the intensity of a Queensland summer. It meets EN13501-1 B-s2,d0 fire classification and satisfies both NFPA-701 and ASTM E-84 flame spread standards.

What scale of projects is the HG102 designed for?
The HG102 is engineered specifically for medium- to-large scale architectural structures, such as commercial canopies, and large tensile installations.

How does the HG102 handle extreme Australian weather conditions?
It is built for consistent, all-climate performance. With a temperature tolerance ranging from −40°C to +70°C, it reliably withstands everything from coastal humidity and alpine environments to intense Queensland heat.

Is the HG102 difficult to clean and maintain?
No, it is designed specifically for low maintenance. The PVDF surface treatment provides superior resistance to dirt accumulation and UV degradation, which keeps the membrane looking and performing at its best – a crucial feature for large structures where cleaning access is difficult.

Does the HG102 comply with Australian fire safety regulations?
Yes. The HG102 satisfies the EN13501-1 B-s2,d0 fire classification and satisfies both NFPA-701 and ASTM E-84 flame spread standards.
