Exhale P3TEC is an advanced wall protection product from Baresque that combines the appearance and installation flexibility of a vinyl wallcovering with the impact, chemical and abrasion resistance of purpose-built wall protection. Tested independently by ASTM International, it resists permanent markers, spray paint, wine, coffee and commercial-grade cleaners including bleach, hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. Available in 9 colourways.

Applications
High-traffic corridors, emergency departments, aged care facilities, education buildings and any commercial space where walls are exposed to impact, chemical cleaning or deliberate damage. The product bends around curves and covers full walls without protective profiles, reducing the need for corner guards and rigid bumper rails.
Standards and compliance
Tested to AS ISO 9705 2003, achieving Group 2 classification under the Building Code of Australia for interior wall and ceiling linings. Performance independently verified to ASTM D5420-10 (impact), ASTM D308 (chemical resistance) and ASTM D4060-14 (abrasion). The material is formaldehyde-free, heavy-metals-free, perfluorooctanoic acid-free and produced with no solvent inks. Low VOC emissions dissipate rapidly through normal ventilation.
Frequently asked questions
How is Exhale P3TEC different from standard vinyl wallcovering?
Where standard vinyl wallcovering is designed primarily for aesthetics and basic durability, Exhale P3TEC is independently tested to ASTM International standards for impact resistance, chemical resistance and abrasion. It also resists permanent markers and spray paint, and can be cleaned with bleach, hydrogen peroxide and ammonia.
Does Exhale P3TEC require specialist installation?
Baresque strongly recommends using a recommended installer for P3TEC due to the specific installation method required, which involves reverse hanging alternate drops with an overlap and double-cut seam process. Rolls are supplied for standard top-to-bottom installation.
Is Exhale P3TEC sold by the metre or by the roll?
Exhale P3TEC is available by the full roll only. Each roll is 137 cm wide (trimming to 122 cm) and 13.7 m long.
