Uniboard - Dotmar's Lightweight Multi Purpose Timber Panel Replacement
Uniboard entered the Australian and New Zealand markets during April 2008 with an enormous impact. This strong yet lightweight and universal replacement to marine ply board, plywood and traditional construction materials has revolutionised traditional engineering and design thought process. Uniboard outperforms its traditional timber rivals due to its advanced polymer structure which ensures this material is almost indestructible.
Timber, like any construction material can have problems, many of which stem from neglecting regular maintenance. Uniboard is rustproof, chemical, bacteria and mould resistant. The acoustic properties are similar to that of the latest sound barrier materials so it is ideal for a wide range of applications.
Best of all, Uniboard is easy to work with and able to be cut, routered, drilled, and mechanically fastened with standard hardware materials such as screws and regular construction adhesives. The non-stick surface cleans easily, is scratch resistant and allows easy removal of graffiti where required.
These attributes allow craftsman such as, shopfitters, cabinet makers or the home handyman/women an alternate solution to tired old timber panels.
This multipurpose flat panel product is almost 10% lighter than most plywood and marine ply, 30% lighter than cement sheet and more than 200% lighter than aluminium.
Mainstream applications for Uniboard have grown to include the construction of battery boxes, major retail shelving and pallets, concrete formwork, scaffolding floors and cubby house/dog kennel flooring. Other applications for Uniboard include electrical cabinetry, caravan and bus flooring and horse stable partitions.
The same dedication and care that goes into the design and manufacture of our Uniboard is extended to the range of colours that are offered. Dotmar's Uniboard is available in colours such as Blue, Yellow, Green, Red and Black. Other colours are also available upon request (MOQ's apply).

First Nuvex Installation in New Zealand
The benefits of NUVEX are being recognized across the Trans Tasman sea and recently this innovative product was specified to be used as substrate of choice for sanitary partitioning, benches, seats and the outer door cores for a beachside toilet block and change room complex. Even the steel clad doors on the exterior of the building were strengthened using a NUVEX core.
The Mt. Maunganui change room complex is a high traffic area and all doors, partitions and seating had to be easy to clean, strong, durable and not prone to staining from graffiti. NUVEX fulfilled all the council's requirements and the added benefits of being mould and rot proof, and resistant to chemical attack. The result was a highly attractive change room complex and very satisfied end users.
We welcome comments or suggestions for future issues of INNOVATIONS.

NUVEX sheets are not coated with a coloured layer that could delaminate or degrade. The colour of NUVEX sheet is solid throughout the material and provides significant advantages in terms of lifespan and aesthetic appeal. In the unlikely event of scratches occurring on NUVEX panels, their visibility will be significantly reduced because there will not be a contrasting base colour exposed.
Not only is NUVEX manufactured using a percentage of recycled polymer, the sheet itself can also be fully recycled at the end of its service period. Dotmar can provide customers with simple "Recycling Guidelines" to assist with streamlining the process of material recovery. NUVEX is a true GREEN alternative to traditional timber substrates.
