| BASF offers Palusol fire-protection panels  BASF offers its Palusol fire-protection panels as a sandwich system, SW, in conjunction with high-density fiber panels, HDF. The new Palusol SW is available in different compositions, ranging from a simple combination of a Palusol panel with an HDF all the way to multi-layered sandwich structures. This facilitates the manufacture of fire doors, one of the main applications for this material. Customers can bypass the need for the demanding production step of gluing the individual fire-protection Palusol panels to other door components. The fire resistance of some of the sandwiches has been successfully tested in the form of parts or components of parts.In making Palusol SW, the BASF experts utilize the benefits of the highly adhesive epoxy resin used to coat the main components of standard Palusol. Since the outer layers of the new sandwich system consist of HDF, door manufacturers can easily glue them employing commercially available wood adhesives. This accounts for a considerable simplification for customers: they can manufacture the panels faster while still using their standard equipment. Only HDF panels belonging to emission class E1 having a formaldehyde limit value of 0.1 ppm go into the production of Palusol SW. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
