Fixing and Installation
Plaspanel multi-purpose panels can be drilled, routed or sawn with standard wood working tools. Consideration should be given to thermal movement of the panel during installation as the panel can expand approximately 6 mm along the 2440 mm dimension through 40ºC temperature change. Screw holes should be drilled oversized to allow for movement, the larger you can make the hole and still fasten securely, the better the installation. Satisfactory adhesive bonds can not generally be achieved with polyethylene (PE) formulation panels.
Heat Welding
A major advantage of Plaspanel is the ability to mitre cut, fold, and heat weld. Making them ideal for quick seamless fabrication on-site or off-site.
Fasteners
In general it is recommended to use flat fasteners. Small headed nails and screws with cutting flutes under the head are likely to produce inferior pull through resistance. Plain head screws are preferable while self-embedding screws should be avoided.
Painting
Plaspanel can not be painted with conventional paint systems.
Material Safety Data
This product is not classified as hazardous according to criteria of Worksafe Australia. All work with these panels should be carried out in such a way as to minimise the generation of shavings and fines. Excessive levels of shavings and fines may present a slippage hazard on hard surfaces. General use safety glasses and a replaceable filter or disposable half face respirator should be worn when machining.
Storage
Keep stock clear of the ground and away from sources of heat, flame or sparks. Store panels flat and fully supported.
