Technical Specifications

Key Benefits

• Classic US Aesthetic: Available in classic North American White, Almond, and Clay. The color goes completely through the extrusion wall.

• Cost-Efficient Foundation: The ideal, high-margin solution for high-volume residential developments, tract housing, and standard retrofits.

• Tropical-Grade Formulation: Heavy integration of high-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) ensures the white frames will not yellow or chalk under intense sunlight.

• Scratch-Proof Performance: Deeply integrated premium pigment masterbatch ensures that the color is consistent throughout the entire profile. Minor job site scratches or surface abrasions remain completely invisible.

• No Flaking or Peeling: Eliminates the adhesion risks and delamination failures common with traditional surface paint or cheap exterior laminations.

• Seamless Fabrications: Offers a perfectly uniform color on the frame face, inside the tracks, and across mitered welded corners.

• Elite UV & Weather Shield: Features a premium Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) color cap molecularly fused onto the rigid PVC core during extrusion. Delivers unmatched resistance to fading and chalking over decades.

• Infrared Heat Management: Formulated with special reflective pigments that reflect near-infrared solar radiation. This lowers heat absorption in dark colors (like Jet Black and Dark Bronze), reducing profile expansion and preventing frame warping in severe desert or coastal heat.

• Anti-Static Matte Finish: The upscale matte ASA outer layer naturally repels dust and dirt, maintaining a pristine building facade with zero maintenance.

Applications & Customization

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q: Are Haitec vinyl profiles designed to meet AAMA standards for the US market?

• A: Yes, absolutely. All three product lines—Solid, Full-Body Colored, and ASA Co-Extruded profiles—are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous mechanical, impact, and weathering requirements set by AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association). They undergo extensive accelerated UV weathering to ensure full compliance with North American building codes.

• Q: When should I recommend Full-Body Colored profiles versus ASA Co-Extruded profiles to my clients?

• A: Full-Body Colored profiles are perfect for projects where scratch resistance is the top priority (e.g., high-traffic commercial entries or multi-family buildings), as any surface damage reveals the exact same color underneath. ASA Co-Extruded profiles are the absolute best choice for dark exterior colors (like Black or Bronze) in high-heat, high-UV regions (such as Texas, Florida, or Arizona). The ASA layer excels at reflecting infrared heat, which maintains exceptional dimensional stability and prevents the dark frames from warping or bending.

• Q: Can these profiles support thick Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) for cold climates?

• A: Yes. Our profiles feature wide, heavy-duty glazing pockets designed to accommodate standard American IGU thicknesses, including 3/4", 7/8", 1", and up to 1-1/4" double or triple-pane insulated glass. This allows fabricators to easily integrate Low-E glass and Argon gas fills to achieve elite Energy Star ratings.

• Q: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for North American shipments?

• A: Our standard minimum order quantity is 10 US tons per order. However, since ocean freight rates between a 20ft container and a 40ft High Cube (40HQ) container are nearly identical, we highly recommend an order volume of 26–28 US tons (one full 40HQ container). This maximizes your shipping efficiency and significantly lowers your product unit price per lineal foot.

• Q: What is your standard production lead time for North American orders?

• A: Our standard production lead time is 30 days from the date of deposit confirmation and final engineering sign-off on your profile drawings or custom color matching.
