Ten reasons carpenters and homeowners trust it
Grouped by what matters most when you're specifying a panel.
Termite proof
100% termite proof, protecting furniture from all termite types — no pest control required.
100% waterproof
Guaranteed waterproof with no symptoms of delamination.
Fire resistant
Withstands fire without losing its functionality or purpose.
UV resistant
Unaffected by UV light or sunlight — no loss of tensile strength or elasticity, even after prolonged exposure.
No shrinkage & swelling
All-weather proof — unlike wood, it never absorbs or loses moisture.
Chemical resistant
Resistant to all chemicals, with good medical properties.
Lead free, non-toxic
Non-poisonous and totally environment friendly, with no adverse effect on human life.
Anti-fungal, anti-bacterial
100% anti-fungal and anti-bacterial by nature, unlike traditional ply.
Corrosion resistant
Withstands damage caused by oxidization or other chemical reactions.
100% recyclable
Re-cyclable and re-usable, with up to 25% re-sale value.
Lead is toxic. Exovista has none.
Lead damages the liver, kidneys, reproductive and nervous systems, and can cause asthma and cancer — accounting for roughly 0.6% of the global disease burden. Cheaper lead-panel boards on the market emit formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals. Exovista is 100% lead-free, harmless, and recognised as an eco-friendly product.
