Mineral Fibre Panel Systems

The Panel
Steel faced mineral fibre insulated panels are designed to provide fire resistance in line with BS476: Part 22: 1987 for fire exposure of up to three hours integrity combined with two hours insulation. The system comprises mineral wool panels, 1160mm nominal width and up to 12m long. Normally faced on both sides with 0.55mm thick galvanised steel sheet.

Panel To Panel Joint
The panels have male / female interlocking metal facings to provide a secure and consistent joint detail.

The Insulation
Mineral fibre is manufactured from molten diabase volcanic rock, spun into fibres and bound using heat cured phenol formaldehyde resin (generally less than 5%). The fibres are treated with a small quantity of refined mineral oil (generally less than 5%), which acts as a dust suppressant. Mineral fibre is inert under normal applications. The core has a nominal density of 100kg/m3 and an insulation value of 0.038W/mok

Water Resistance
Mineral fibre repels liquid water due to the presence of water repellent additives. Moisture condensing from the air within the core material is less than 0.002% by volume at 95% relative humidity.

Biological
Completely vermin and rot proof and does not encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria. It is suitable for use (with suitable facings) in hygienic areas.

Environment
No CFC’s or HCFC’s are used in the manufacture of the base material.

Bonding
Panels are bonded using a fast curing one component polyurethane adhesive which is moisture cured to a hard, tough, non toxic layer resistant to chemicals and heat. During the bonding process a slight foaming occurs, this gives better penetration into the porous materials and better filling between uneven surfaces, increasing panel strength and minimising the possibility of un-bonded areas.

Panel Facings
Panels can be manufactured with a number of facings including white PVC laminate (foodsafe), polyester, grey primer and stainless steel. Exterior finishes include HP200 plastisol and PVF2. The thickness of the coloured facings are generally 0.55mm with the grey primer being 0.50mm

PIR Panel System (Laminated)

The Panel
Steel faced polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulated composite panels are designed to provide fire resistance in line with Loss Prevention Council approval LPCB standard 1181. The system comprises of PIR insulation with a nominal cover width of 1160mm and in lengths up to 12m, faced on both sides with galvanised sheet steel. The facing is bonded to the PIR with a fire resistant moisture curing adhesive and panels have an interlocking joint design to facilitate rapid and accurate installation.

Panel to Panel Joint
The panels have male / female interlocking metal facings to provide a secure and consistent joint detail.

The Insulation
The PIR foam utilised in these panels is completely CFC and HCFC free and has been cured for 7 days to ensure the foam is fully stable. The long-term dimensional stability of the foam is guaranteed. The exceptional foam properties enable the production of flat panels to tolerances of +/- 0.5mm over 2m and the foam insulation is 100% with no voids

PIR Panel System (Injected)

The Panel
Steel faced polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulated composite panels are designed to meet the requirements of fire resistance in line with Loss Prevention Council approval LPS 1181. The system comprises of PIR insulation with a nominal cover width of 1200mm and in lengths up to 12m, faced on both sides with galvanised sheet steel. The facing is bonded to the PIR during the injected foaming of the panel.

Fire Rating
The Stancold PIR panel does not have a specific fire rating at this time.

Panel To Panel Joint
The panels have turned safety edges, cam-locking panel to panel with a tongue and groove insulation detail and silicone joint sealant for a clean hygienic surface.

The Insulation
The PIR foam utilised in these panels is a low-density rigid foam, which exhibit superior thermal stability and lower combustibility when compared to polyurethane foams. They are prepared by reacting a polyol component with a polyisocyanurate component in the presence of suitable additives and blowing agents.

Panel Facings
Panels can be manufactured with a number of facings including white PVC laminate (foodsafe), polyester, grey primer and stainless steel. Exterior finishes include HP200 plastisol and PVF2. The thickness of the coloured facings are generally 0.55mm with the grey primer being 0.50mm.
