DURIPANEL-PIL-EPO-ENG 3/5 13/03/08 7.<br><br> Applications (not exhaustive) 3 (see also application guidelines for certain applications) " Outside walls: base board for EIFS-systems (Exterior Insulated Façade System) " Floor panel (load bearing, floating, raised) " Walls: partitions, wall lining, windshield walls " Ceilings " Roof: backer board for bituminous roofing felt or shingles. " Industrial use: lost shuttering For good dimensional stability it is recommended to avoid applications where differential humidity conditions occur (e.g. wetting or drying on one side).<br><br> 8. Available factory finishing DURIPANEL can be supplied with a small and large chamfer and edge finishes like tongue-and-groove, 4-side groove and alternated stepped recess. 9.<br><br> Working guidelines (see also working guidelines EURO PANELS OVERSEAS flat sheets) DURIPANEL can be worked like wood chipboard. It is advised to use tungsten carbide tipped tools. Cutting: " Stationary saw, fast rotation with tungsten carbide-tipped blade.<br><br> " Hand circular saw (with rail), fast rotation with tungsten carbide-tipped blade " Jigsaw with tungsten carbide-tipped cutting blade " Hand saw with tungsten carbide-tipped cutting blade Edge finish : " A milling cutter " Fine emery cloth or sanding block " Tungsten carbide tipped plane Drilling : " For holes: tungsten carbide-tipped drill bit with a 60° nose angle. Drilling without hammer!! " For circular openings: hole saw or circular cutter, tungsten carbide-tipped.<br><br> The sheet should be supported around the hole to be drilled (e.g. by a wooden board). 3 The applications for DURIPANEL sheets set out in this document are for illustration only.<br><br> If in any doubt regarding the suitability of DURIPANEL sheets in any given application, it is advisable to request recommendations from EURO PANELS OVERSEAS. Under no circumstances can EURO PANELS OVERSEAS be held liable for applications which have not been approved by EURO PANELS OVERSEAS DURIPANEL-PIL-EPO-ENG 4/5 13/03/08 Fixing accessories: The material of the fixing accessories (e.g. stainless steel, galvanized steel, phosphated steel) is chosen dependent on the application and the environment.<br><br> 1) Gluing (concealed fixing): DURIPANEL can be fixed with adhesive for interior applications only. The adhesive is to be used in accordance with the application guidelines and guarantee conditions of the manufacturer. Further information is available from EURO PANELS OVERSEAS 2) Screwing: Most kinds of standard screws can be used.<br><br> The final finish of the panel 9s surface will determine the type of screw to be used. 3) Nailing: Pneumatic nailing Hand nailing with nails with flat head The head of the nail should not be driven too deeply into the sheet. Pre-drilling is not required when nailing, either pneumatic or by hand.<br><br> 4) Stapling: Automatic stapling The back of the staple should not be driven too deeply into the sheet. Joint finishing: It is recommended to use synthetic joint filling products to finish joints between sheets. To avoid cracks, the supporting structure should be dimensionally stable and excessive thermal or moisture movement should be avoided.<br><br> Caulking: Only use neutral mastics. Coating : In case of surface finishing, alkali resistant paint should be used e.g. acrylic paint.<br><br> Please consult your paint supplier for further details. Health and safety aspects : While the sheets are being processed, dust can be released which can irritate airways and eyes. It is recommended that a dust mask and safety goggles be worn.<br><br> Appropriate dust extraction or proper ventilation should be used depending on the room in which the work is being carried out or the equipment being used. Long-term exposure to dust can be harmful to health. 10.<br><br> Handling (see also working guidelines EURO PANELS OVERSEAS flat sheets) The sheets are packed on pallets. They must be kept dry during transport. The sheets must be horizontally stacked on a flat surface.<br><br> The sheets must always be sufficiently supported so that they do not sag. The sheets must be stored in a dry ventilated space. If the sheets are stored outside, they must always be protected against rain by a tarpaulin or plastic sheet.<br><br> If the sheets do become wet in the packing, all packaging must be removed and the sheets must be wiped dry and placed in a way that they can dry completely. A sheet must always be lifted from a stack by two people and then be carried on edge. 11.<br><br> Guarantee The guarantee and the guarantee conditions are available on request from EURO PANELS EURO PANELS OVERSEAS N.V.
