• Fluo2Max: Next-Generation Membranes for High-Performance Tensile Architecture

In the world of tensile architecture, material performance is paramount — especially in regions where UV exposure is unforgiving. Fluo2Max, the latest innovation from Sioline by SIOEN, engineered to set new benchmarks in durability, strength, and aesthetic longevity for fabric architecture. 

Specifically designed to meet the challenges of Australia’s intense UV environment, Fluo2Max is not just another architectural membrane — it’s a purpose-built solution for projects that demand resilience, longevity, and visual impact. 

 

What is Fluo2Max? A New Standard in Architectural Membranes 

Fluo2Max is Sioline’s most advanced tensile architecture membrane, designed for lightweight tensioned structures, marquees, car park solutions, and large-scale umbrellas. It combines the latest in membrane coating technology with Sioline’s expertise in technical textiles, delivering a product that meets the high expectations of architects, builders, and commercial property developers. 

Key to its innovation is the TiO₂ (titanium dioxide) prime coat barrier, which offers superior UV resistance — a critical advantage for structures in Australia and other high-UV regions. This is paired with a dual-sided PVDF topcoat, enhancing not just durability but also the ease of maintenance, keeping the surface cleaner for longer. 

Whether the goal is aesthetic precision, structural performance, or lifespan reliability, Fluo2Max has been meticulously engineered to excel on every front. 

 

Technical Specifications & Standout Features 

Fluo2Max is available in two strength classes — Type 1 and Type 2 — each designed to meet varying project demands, from lightweight applications to heavier structural installations. 

Material Composition & Coatings 

  • TiO₂ Prime Coat Barrier: Provides superior UV resistance, reducing degradation and discolouration over time. 

  • PVDF Dual-Sided Topcoat: Lacquered on both sides to enhance dirt resistance and longevity. 

Technical Features 

  • UV Resistant: Specifically formulated to handle Australia's extreme UV exposure, ensuring lasting performance. 

  • Flame Retardant: Built with safety in mind for commercial and public spaces, with test results available on request. 

  • Anti-Bacterial Treatment: Prevents bacterial growth, supporting material hygiene and durability. 

  • Low-Wick Treatment: Minimises the risk of mould and mildew, maintaining visual integrity over time. 

  • Direct High-Frequency Weldable: Facilitates efficient, reliable, and aesthetically seamless joins in fabrication. 

  • 300cm Roll Width & 50m Roll Length: Reduces the number of joins needed, minimising labour costs and maintaining structural integrity. 

Weight Classifications 

  • Type 1: 725gsm nominal weight — ideal for small to medium-sized tensile structures. 

  • Type 2: 900gsm nominal weight — Suited for larger or more demanding tensile structures. 

 

Applications: Versatility Across Industries 

Fluo2Max is a versatile membrane designed for a broad range of architectural and commercial applications, each benefiting from the material’s unique properties: 

  • Lightweight Tensioned Structures: Ideal for public spaces, amphitheatres, and walkways where design elegance and shade are equally critical. 

  • Car Park Structures: UV resistance and low-wick properties make it a reliable option for shaded parking that resists weathering and mould. 

  • Commercial Umbrellas: Maintains structural integrity and visual appeal in high-traffic outdoor commercial settings like cafes and public plazas. 

With its combination of strength, flexibility, and protective coatings, Fluo2Max is designed to complement both functional infrastructure and architectural statements. 

 

Built to Last with 20-Year UV Warranties 

Fluo2Max doesn’t just promise durability — it guarantees it. The product is backed by industry-leading warranties, with Type 1 & Type 2: 20-year UV degradation warranty 

These warranties provide long-term peace of mind for specifiers, fabricators, and property owners, ensuring that Fluo2Max will perform and protect for decades — even in the harshest climates.
