NUVEX - The Perfect Alternative to Timber Panel Construction Materials

Dotmar's solid thermoplastic sanitary partitions outperform phenolic, timber, laminates and metal products in almost every measure of durability and economy. Dotmar's NUVEX® thermoplastic is lightweight, easy to handle and the product itself is maintenance free.

Maintenance expenditure for traditional materials such as laminated board and compressed laminate will begin on day one and increase over the life of the material. The physiological nature of traditional materials demands this. Common, daily cleaning, use and abuse in application, will result in deterioration and ultimate replacement.

In contrast, the long-term durability of Dotmar's partitions attachments and the minimal maintenance costs add up to significant savings over the life of the products when in use. NUVEX® retains its inherent physical properties, hence reducing significantly the total life cost.

How easy is it to clean NUVEX Sanitary Partitions?
