Max Compact with white core

though similar in form and function, these compact panelsexhibit the fine stylish difference: the panel core remains anexquisite white. slight colour differences to the max laminatepanels and max compact panels with a black core are possi-ble. when combining panels, please compare the samples.Decor is always the same on both sides.

Max Resistance2

max Resistance panels are compact interior panels with anintegrated chemical-resistant surface.Decor - Please refer to the Decor collection Re.

Max Compact Interior

as a standard, max compact panels come with decors onboth sides. the core is black and the surfaces are availablein different structures. see our current delivery programme.

Max Compact Interior Plus

max compact interior Plus panels have the same qualitiesas the compact interior panels, but are manufactured witha double-hardened, pore-free surface sealed with urethaneacrylate for increased surface protection. Decors - Please refer to the Decor collection iP.

FunderMax Elements (processing)

fundermax offers cnc controlled processing and panelcutting. with state-of-the-art devices, it is possible to pro-duce everything: from simple cutouts for mounting the panels,to intricate milling for railing panels or furniture elements. wecan make just about anything you can dream up.

NATURAL MATERIALSfundermax compact interior panelsare made primarily from wood that isprocessed into ”kraft papers“. thewood accumulates as a by productduring logging or in sawmills. we pro-cure these raw materials from suppli-ers that are certified under the fscand Pefc standards. the standardsconfirm that the logging occurs in ac-cordance with internationally validrules for sustainable forestry.

ENvIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLYPRODUCTIONthe kraft paper is impregnated withresins on impregnating lines, dried andpressed at high pressure and heat intodurable moisture resistant panels. theexhaust air extracted from the dryingis treated by regenerative thermal oxi-dation in which heat produced therebyis redirected back into the process.for installing this efficient air handlingfundermax was given the best prac-tice the ”climate:active“ award by theaustrian energy agency and thefederal ministry for the environment.the production plant can thus reduceits emissions by approximately 10,000tons of co2 per year.

FUNDERMAx COMPACT AND ThE ENvIRONMENT

LONg-LASTINg AND MAINTE-NANCE-FREEextensive tests certify the exceptionaldurability of compact interior panels.the production process ensures ahighly resistant surface. fundermaxcompact interior panels do not requireany maintenance to ensure a long ser-vice life. the surface of the panels ishighly resistant to soiling. if necessary,they can be cleaned with standardcleaning agents. it is not necessary toseal the edges, even after cutting. therobust surface is also suitable forhighly stressed applications such asramming protection and is highly re-sistant to impact marks.

DISPOSAL/RECYCLINgoff-cuts are energetically recycled in-house. our state-of-the-art green elec-tricity district heating power stationsno harmful exhausts arise such asdioxin, hydrochloric acid or organicchlorine compounds. the residual ash-es are free of heavy metals.

basically, the specific provincial lawsand regulations concerning the dis-posal must be observed. in austria,the thermal recycling of waste ispreferable to landfill. the ash resultingfrom the thermal recycling of wastecan be easily disposed of in controlledindustrial landfills.

MATERIAL ChARACTERISTICS

MATERIAL ChARACTERISTICS ANDExPANSION CLEARANCEmax compact panels do not only re-act to temperature but primarily tomoisture in relation to the climacticconditions of the respective storage ormounting area. if both of these influ-ential factors affect one side of thepanel only, it can lead to variations offlatness depending on the period ofexposure. Please take note of our ad-vice concerning ventilation, storageand stack coverage.

max compact shrinks when it losesmoisture!max compact expands when it ab-sorbs moisture!when working and constructing withthe panels, thought must be given tothis possible dimensional change. formax compact it is basically half asmuch lengthways as widthways (seeproperties on page 8; lengthways isrelative to the nominal panel format!).

metal substructures experience di-mensional changes when exposed tovariations in temperature. however,the dimensions of max compact alsochange under the influence of increas-ing relative air moisture. these dimen-sional changes of the substructuresand cladding materials may work inopposing directions. therefore, it isimportant to ensure sufficient room forexpansion. as a general rule for necessary expan-sion clearance:

TRANSPORT AND hANDLINghandle fundermax compact interiorpanels with care in order not to dam-age the edges and surfaces of thehigh-quality material.in spite of the excellent surface hard-ness and the installation protectionfilm, the stack weight of fundermaxcompact interior panels is a possiblecause of damage. therefore, any formof dirt or dust between the panelsmust definitely be avoided.

fundermax compact interior panelsmust be secured against slippage dur-ing transport. when loading or unload-ing, the panels must be lifted. Do notpush or pull them over the edge.

Transport protection films must al-ways be removed from both sides atthe same time.

maybe there is a stronger adhesion ofthe foils on the surface because of thestorage. therefore there might be ahigher effort to remove the foil. thatdoes not have any effect to the qualityof the product and does not result intoa complaint.

the transport protection film must notbe exposed to heat or direct sunshine.

STORAgE AND AIR CONDITIONINgfundermax compact panels must bestacked horizontally on flat, stablesupports and supporting panels. thegoods must lie completely flat.cover plates must always be left onthe stack. the top cover should beweighted down.after removal of panels, Pe films mustagain be closed over the stack.

the same applies, in principle, for cut-panel stacks.incorrect storage can lead to perma-nent deformation of the panels.

fundermax compact interior panelsshould be stored in closed rooms un-der normal climatic conditions, tem-perature about 15°c - 25°c and rela-tive humidity at about 50% - 65%.climate differences on the two sur-faces of a panel are to be avoided.with pre-installed fastening elements,therefore, care is to be taken that theclimatic effect is uniform on all sides.use intermediate layers of wood orplastic.

CLEANINgnote, that contaminants (e.g. drilling and machine oil, grease, adhesive residues, sun-screens, etc.), which are put on the surface of the max compact panels during thestorage or mounting must be immediately removed residue-free. You have to avoidcontact of the panels with sunscreen in any case, because it cannot be guaranteedthat it can be removed totally even it is cleaned immediately. in case of disregardingno claims concerning the colour, finish and surface will be accepted/acknowledged.You will find details of correct cleaning of max compact panels on pages 34-35.

PROCESSINg RECOMMENDATIONS

general processing guidelines

when working with fundermaxcompact interior panels the ratio be-tween the number of teeth (z), the cut-ting speed (vc) and the feed rate (vf)must be observed.

CALCULATION OF CUTTINg SPEED vc = D • π • n/60vc – cutting speedD – tool diameter [m]n – tool rotational speed [min-1]

CALCULATION OF FEED SPEEDvf = fz • n • z/1000vf – feed rate [m/min]fz – tooth feedn – tool rotational speed [min-1]z – number of teeth

CUTTINg MATERIALtools with hard blades (e.g. hw-leitz)can be used. in order to extend tool life, the use ofDP-tipped tools (DP polycrystalline di-amond) is recommended

gENERAL ADvICEif chip removal is not carried out regu-larly, this can quickly lead to damageof the blade. as a result the requiredengine power is increased and the toollife will be shortened. if the shavingsare too small they will then scrape andeventually blunt the tool, thereforeleading to a short tool life.

Safety measures

this is simply a list of the recommended personal protective equip-ment. the standard required protective equipment for the given fieldof work should be used (work clothes, safety boots, hairnets,...).

gLOvES

non-bevelled cut edges are sharp and pose a risk of injury. to pro-tect against the handling of freshly cut fundermax compact panels,gloves of protection category ii with a minimum cut resistance of 2should be used.

The processing of FunderMax Compact panels

gENERALthe surface area of fundermaxcompact interior panels containshigh-quality melamine resins and istherefore highly resistant. the pro-cessing properties of the fundermaxcompact interior panels are similar tothose for the processing of hard-wood. hard metal cutting tools havebeen tested and are indispensablewhen working with fundermaxcompact interior panels. if a longtool life is required, diamond-tipped(DP) tools should be used. sharpblades and smooth functioning areboth necessary elements to ensure afaultless processing of the material.breaking-off, splintering and chippingof the decorative side is a result ofincorrect handling or unsuitabletools.machine tables should be as flat andsmooth as possible, so that no chipscollect - which can damage the sur-face area. the same also applies forwork surfaces and the controlling ofhand-held machines.

PROTECTIvE gOggLES

as with the manufacturing of any other wood, tightly-sealed eyeprotectors must be worn when working with fundermax compact.

DUST PROTECTION

as with the manufacturing of any other wood, the processing offundermax compact panels can create dust. for sufficient respira-tory protection, dust mask filters for e.g. should work.

� the processing of edges with sta-tionary machines: for milling work onthe fundermax compact interior pan-els, the optimal ratio of teeth, cuttingspeed and feed rate should be ob-served. if the shavings are too small,the machine will scrape (burn) andtherefore blunt quickly, meaning it onlyhas a short service life. on the otherhand, if the shavings are too big, theedges will be wavy (strokes) with anunclean finish. high rotational speedsare not the only criterion for goodquality edges! when working with thehand fed machines, only those withthe marking 'man' or 'bG-test' shouldbe used. furthermore, the given ma-chine speed range should neither beexceeded nor fallen short of for rea-sons of safety. hand fed machinesshould only be used when working inthe opposite direction.

milled edges can be finished in the fol-lowing way: sand the edge surfaceand smooth out the sharp edges withsandpaper. when processing edges,hand planes with steel residue can beused. it is also recommended thathss blades are used. the cutting an-gle of the blade should be approx. 15°.

for the processing of fundermaxcompact interior panels, milling headswith an hw indexable insert blade ordiamond-tipped cutter are suitable.

Cutting with handheld tools

� for straight cuts with handheld cir-cular saws, a stop bar or guide railshould be used. saw blades suitablefor hard metal use should be used.the sawing takes place from the panelunderside using the following toothforms: variable tooth for coarse cut-tings, flat tooth/trapezoid tooth forclean cuts of fundermax compactinterior panels and panels which arebonded on both sides.

Milling machines – edge processing

� edge processing by hand: for thefinishing of edges, files are suitable.the file direction moves from the dec-orative side to the core. for brokenedges, fine files, plane files, sand pa-per (100-150 grain) or scrapers cansuccessfully be used.

� edge processing with handheld ma-chines: to mill bevels electric handplanes with bevel or bevel grooves canbe used. hand routers are used alongwith hard metal tools for special tasks(e.g. wash basin recess , trax-cou-pling etc.). in order to protect thefundermax compact interior panelsurface areas, the supporting surfaceof the hand routers should be coveredwith for e.g. panel parts, no felt!milling shavings should be carefully re-moved.

milling cutter diameter 10-25 mmcutting speed vc 1 30-50 m/sec.

we recommend hard metal tippedmilling cutters, which are also avail-able with indexable inserts. for a bet-ter functioning of your tools, height-adjustable milling cutters are prefer-able. the sharp edges will be brokendown afterwards.

Edges and grooves

Grooved edges on fundermaxcompact panels should always bebevelled, not sharp-edged! thisspares the corners of the machine (in-dexable inserts) and prevents a notcheffect. the service life can often de-crease dramatically depending on theheight adjustment, the machine typeand form, the cutting requirementsand support material. for high volumeproduction, the use of diamond-tippedmachines should be considered.

Edge sanding

with standard machines, grain 100 to120. edges can also be grinded usingsand paper or a scraper. a mattecolour finish of the black panel edgescan be achieved if combined with sili-cone-free oil.

Inner notches and cut-outs

with inner notches and millinggrooves, the corners are consistentlyrounded off. the inner radius shouldbe kept as large as possible (minimumradius 5 mm). for inner notches andmilling grooves over 250 mm side-length, the radius must be graduallyincreased in line with the side-length.inner notches can be directly formedusing the milling cutter or they can bepre-drilled with a corresponding ra-dius, before the cut from drill hole todrill hole is milled. sharp-edged cor-ners are weak and lead to the forma-tion of cracks due to tension.moreover, all edges must be ripple-free. if, sharp-edged corners are re-quired for constructive reasons, thiscan only be achieved through a com-bination of compact panel blanks. thesuitable cutting, milling and drillingmachines for the production of innernotches and milling grooves are de-scribed in the previous sections.

Drilling

solid hard metal twist or dowel drillsare used for drilling. in machining cen-tres, the use of the main spindle in-stead of the drilling beams for a rpm of2000 – 4000 min-1 and a feed rate of1.5 – 3 m/min, is recommended. theexit speed of the drill must be carefullyselected so that the melamine sur-faces of the compact interior panelsare not damaged. shortly before thedrill exits the work piece in full diame-ter, the feed rate must be reduced by50%. when drilling through-holes, thecounter-pressure should be built upusing hardwood or equivalent materialto prevent break-offs of the melaminesurface.

For screw fittings parallel to the panellevel, please ensure:

� the residual thickness (b) of thecompact interior panel must be atleast 3 mm.� the hole diameter of the drillingsparallel to the panel surface must beselected in such a way to avoid anysplitting of the compact panels whentightening the screws.� for screw fittings parallel to the pan-el surface, metal sheet and chip boardscrews are suitable.� in order to ensure respective stabili-ty, a minimum depth of engagement of25 mm is necessary. it is imperative that tests to establishthe correct drill diameter are carriedout.

For the screwing of blind holes per-pendicular to the panel levels,please ensure:

� tap drill diameter (D) = screw diameter minus approx. 1 screw channel depth. � Drilling depth (a) = Panel thickness minus 1-1.5 mm� screw-in depth = Drilling depth minus 1 mm

for the drilling of compact interiorPanels, drills for plastics are best suit-ed. this means twist drills with a pointangle of ≤ 90°. they have a large gra-dient and chip space. the sharp drillbits mean that these drills are alsovery suitable for the drilling ofthrough-holes as they cut cleanlythrough the underside of the material.

bonded edge joints

in order to increase the adhesive sur-face, special bevel sections can bemilled (leitz) or, joints with groove orexternal springs (ideally compactstrips) can be produced.

During the adhesive process, it mustbe ensured that both bonded panelsare joined in the same running direc-tion (see construction informationpage 37).

for the glueing of fundermaxcompact interior panels, reactive ad-hesives such as epoxy or solvent-freePu glue are suitable (in order to findthe best suitable adhesive, it is recom-mended that you consult the adhesivemanufacturer).

be careful when using Pu-adhesives.these adhesives foam and the surfacearea of the compact panel must becleaned before the adhesive hardens.otherwise, a mechanical cleaning isnecessary, and can lead to damage ofthe fundermax compact interior sur-faces.

basics

screws should never come into con-tact with the edges of the drillhole.they must have clearance on all sidesso that the material can adapt to tem-perature and moisture fluctuations. inthis way, the formation of cracksaround the holes as well as panelwarping, is avoided.

if raised countersunk-head screws areused, underlay rosettes are necessary.

glueing

adhesive joints should be carried outin such a way that dimensionalchanges of the fundermax compactinterior panels are allowed. the panelsmust only be bonded in the same run-ning direction and conditioning, other-wise tensions may occur (tip: identifydecorative design before cutting).fundermax compact interior panelshave twice as much shrinkage andswelling room breadthwise thanlengthwise. if adhesive joints are putunder frequent pressure, they shouldbe supported using mechanical joints.Adhesive surfaces should be bothsanded, dust-free and pre-treated(see processing guidelines of theadhesive manufacturer).Depending on the given application,the following adhesive types are rec-ommended by the manufacturer:

ThE gLUEINg OF FUNDERMAxCOMPACT ONE bELOW ThE OThER� stiff adhesive joints: reactive adhe-sives such as polyurethane and epoxyglue. beware that hardened glueresidue can not be removed withoutdamaging the surface of thefundermax compact interior panels.Dispersion adhesives (white glue) andcondensation adhesives (Pva glues)are not suitable.

� elastic adhesive joints: adhesionsusing PuR kitten e.g.: würth 'gluesand seals', sikaflex 252, teroson-terostat 92, Dinitrol 600, Dinitrol 605,Dinitrol f500, Dinitrol 410 uv Plus,from fuller icema 101/25 + curingagent 7etc. have been tested.

ThE gLUEINg OF FUNDERMAxCOMPACT INTERIOR WITh INSULANTSsolvent-free reactive adhesives withpolyurethane or epoxy resin adhesivee.g.: icema RR145/44 or icemaR145/12, silicon adhesive 100 fromRamsauer.

gLUEINg OF FUNDERMAxCOMPACT INTERIOR WITh WOODafter sanding the compact panels,they can be bonded to wood materialsusing high-quality Pvac glues (whiteglue). a condition being that the mate-rial can absorb the glue moisture dur-ing the setting process.

gLUEINg OF FUNDERMAxCOMPACT INTERIOR TO METALthe different thermal expansion be-haviour of both materials in fluctua-tions of temperature and air moisture,must be considered. for thin panelmaterials of 2 mm to 3 mm thickness,the adhesion must take place acrossthe entire surface and also using elas-tically binding adhesives. the thinnerthe panels used the greater the risk oftearing of existing tensions. in particu-lar, if there are recesses which havenot been appropriately finished, thatis, they have not been drilled withsmooth edges. furthermore, poor ap-plication of the adhesive on differentplaces or notches on the panel cor-ners, could be an exit point for tears.an important parameter for the func-tioning adhesion of fundermaxcompact interior panels to metal sup-ports is the adhesive joint thickness.this should be between 0.5 mm und 1mm for the total adhesion. high-quali-ty contact adhesives for e.g. solvent-free based adhesives, which combineelastics and chemicals (not throughthe release of water) are suitable forhardening. it must be noted that metalcomponents are largely not as flat asfor e.g. calibrated wood materials.this makes the maximum surface con-tact between adhesives, compactpanels and metal supports more diffi-cult. adhesive errors could emerge asa result which could in turn lead totears. careful rolling with small handrollers is recommended! the pressingof entire panels is only possible usingentirely flat materials

SUMMARYlarge panel thickness means that theadhesion of metal materials poses lit-tle risk. all other conditions for an ap-propriate processing must be adheredto such as the conditioning of thefundermax compact panels to the in-tended climatic conditions on site andthe preparation of metal surfaces inaccordance with the glue manufactur-er guidelines etc.

MOUNTINg ADhESIvES FOR ThESUPPORT OF MEChANICAL JOINTSfor the support of mechanical joints,cyanoacrylate adhesives (superglue),as well as hot-melt adhesives areused.

� elastic adhesive systems - adhesivejoints with PuR kitten e.g.: würth'glues and seals' sikaflex 252,teroson-terostat 92, Dinitrol 600,Dinitrol 605, Dinitrol f500, Dinitrol 410uv Plus, etc. have also been testedfor the installation of basins in maxcompact panels.

PROCESSINg RECOMMENDATIONS

for ventilated wall-cladding on corre-sponding sub-structures, elastic adhe-sive systems and acrylate adhesivetapes are suitable.e.g. from 3m: vhb adhesive tape sys-tems acrylic foam 4950 1 mm thick or4912f 2 mm thick. when using double-sided adhesivetapes, it is particularly important toconsider the climatic conditions at theplace of intended use, as dimensionalchanges of the supports or compactpanels can lead to uncontrollable ten-sions.the greater the surface area and thuspossible length variation, the thickerthe adhesive tape must be.

Panels which have a thickness of 4 mm or more, are fixed using an adhesive bead.

ADhESION PROCESS

� both the fundermax compactinterior panels, as well as the materi-als bonded to them, must be thor-oughly cleaned before adhesion. theymust be free from dust, grease, oilsand moisture or particles that couldmark the surface area after adhesion.During the adhesive process, the am-bient atmosphere should be 18 - 25°cand 50 - 65 % relative air moisture.

� the adhesive joint quality must beselected in relation to the adhesive ma-terial quality of the support materialand its intended use.

Use of adhesive joints in accor-dance with DIN 68602:b1, b2 for normal to high air moistureconditions of adhesions in interior fit-tings. b3, b4 for normal to extremely wetconditions both indoor and outdoor.

a high water-resistance of the adhe-sive joints does not increase the wa-ter-resistance of the support material!

� the information provided by the giv-en glue manufacturer should be con-sulted. it is recommended that testadhesions are carried out under simi-lar room conditions. when workingwith adhesives, solvents and harden-ers, safety guidelines must be fol-lowed for reasons of occupationalsafety.

PRESSINg TEMPERATURE

� tension-free composite elementsare most safely produced in pressingtemperatures of 20°c, that is, roomtemperature. higher temperaturesmean a reduction in setting time.however, as dimensional changes arealso dependent on the temperature,and as the temperature of fundermaxcompact interior could vary from othermaterials, 60°c should not be exceed-ed in order to avoid heightened ten-sions which could lead to the warpingof the materials.

� if special adhesions require higherpressing temperatures, the followingtemperature/time combinations shouldnot be exceeded in order to avoid de-formations:

Temperature Time 60°c 5 min. 70°c 4,5 min. 80°c 4 min. 90°c 2 min. 100°c 1 min.

26 interiorFunderMax

ADhESIvE APPLICATION ANDPRESSINg PROCESS

the adhesive application must beequally distributed across the surfacearea. it must be ensured that the ap-plied quantity is the same on bothsides of the support material in orderto avoid distortions. this particularlyapplies to water-based adhesive sys-tems. therefore, when using thesesystems, the applied quantity of adhe-sive must be kept at an optimal level.

Dispersion adhesives� Pvac glues, two-component Pvac-glues

the adhesive application can be doneeither by hand using a notched trowelor hand roller, or using an adhesiveapplication machine.cold pressing:screw clamps, spindle presses, multi-daylight presses.warm pressing:multi-daylight presses, short-cyclespresses, double volume presses.

� always ensure: optimal and evenadhesive application as well as thecompliance with pressing tempera-tures and times.Pressing pressure 2-4 bar.

Condensation resin adhesives� melamine urea-based resin urea-based resorcinol resin

for the elastification of the adhesivejoints, the adhesive approaches re-quire the following additions (e.g. typepowder). these also lead to a clean-lined surface. Different types of curingagent allow for a wide variety of adhe-sion and pressing data.

PROCESSINg RECOMMENDATIONS

� warning: impurities on thefundermax compact surfaces as a re-sult of adhesive or curing agentresidue, must be removed before thepressing, otherwise they can no longerbe removed without damaging the sur-face. separating agents prevent anadhesion of adhesive residue onfundermax compact surfaces andpress plates. Resorcinol resin adhe-sives are used for the production of el-ements with a high flame resistance.cold pressing: screw clamps, spindlepresses, multi-daylight presses.warm pressing: multi-platen presses,short-cycle presses, double volumepresses.

� always observe: optimal and evenadhesive application as well as com-pliance of the pressing temperaturesand times. Pressing pressure 2 - 4 bar.

Contact adhesives (solvent-based)� when working with solvent-basedcontact adhesives, occupational safetyand accident prevention regulationsmust be adhered to! contact adhe-sives demand particular care whenhandling. therefore, the guidelines laidout by the glue manufacturer must befollowed precisely. adhesive applica-tion by hand: with brush, notchedtrowel; by machine using spray sys-tems (hot and cold) or using castingdevices on fundermax compact pan-els and support materials. when ap-plying the adhesive using the notchedtrowel, the direction of application onthe supports and compact panelsshould be at a right angle to one an-other.

� it is important to ensure that thereare good drying conditions (fingertest!), no draft, no dust! contact adhe-sives require a short but powerfulpressing pressure in order to ensure asecure adhesion.� Pressing with hand rollers, rollingpresses, multi-daylight presses.� contact adhesives with curingagents; these adhesives lead to ahigher tolerance and temperature re-sistance of the adhesive joints.� information on the particular pro-cessing conditions will be provided bythe glue manufacturer.

the focus of this recommendation is adepiction of the chemical resistance ofthe fundermax compact panels andthe resulting possibilities for applica-tion.

besides their excellent mechanicalvalues, the melamine resin and hy-gienic pore-free sealed surfaces of thefundermax compact interior panelsmean a high temperature resistance,easy cleaning and a good resistanceto chemicals. the stain resistance re-quirements in accordance with en 438are also met.

they can therefore be used when forexample;� lab and technical chemicals� solvents� Disinfectants� Dyes (certain types)� cosmetics are used on the surface..

ChEMICAL RESISTANCE

Particular attention must be paid tothe careful processing of fundermaxcompact interior panels, as certain re-quirements may be imposed due tothe particular field of use when con-structing certain laboratory and medi-cal facilities. for this kind of applica-tion we recommend the use of maxResistance (lab panels).

fundermax compact interior panelsare resistant against many differentchemicals. however, several chemi-cals may still corrode the surface.

therefore, of crucial importance are:� the concentration� exposure time� the temperature of substances used

the following lists, although there is no guarantee that they are complete,give an overview of the resistance offundermax compact interior panels(at room temperature) against the ef-fects of frequently occurring or usedsubstances (solid, dissolved, fluid,gaseous). when using substances thatare not listed, we ask that you enquirefurther and recommend own sampletests.

FunderMax Compact Interior offers a wide variety of design possibilities for both fixedand removable wall, column and ceilingcladding. They have been used in hospitals,swimming pools, train stations, barracks,schools and other buildings.

On the following pages we will show you arange of wall cladding mounting and applica-tion possibilities for FunderMax CompactInterior panels.

Construction information

� a fixing of wall cladding directly tothe wall is not appropriate with thegiven materials. a substructure shouldalways be provided.

� in general, during the constructionand fixing process it must be ensured,that the material is not exposed tostagnated water. the panel materialmust consistently be able to dry.

� Due to the material characteristics,during the bonding of max compactpanels to one another - edge adhe-sions or bevels - it must be ensuredthat all connecting components havebeen manufactured in the same run-ning direction. that means that theycan be joined length to length andbreadth to breath. therefore, the ma-chine direction must always be indi-cated on the remaining panels.

� for extremely wet conditions, e.g.shower cubicles or similar, the me-chanical edge adhesion is indispens-able, particularly when used with anelastic and water-resistant binding ad-hesive system.

ventilated wall cladding

max compact interior with black coreis the product of choice for classic ven-tilated wall cladding. the ventilationguarantees a control of temperatureand moisture, particularly for existingbuilding moisture in the walls or climat-ic variations in adjacent rooms.

an unequal climate in front of and be-hind the materials can lead to warpingof the panels. therefore, the panelshave a substructure meaning that a cir-culation of air (ventilation minimum 20mm) between the panels and the wall isguaranteed, from top to bottom. Jointsbetween the panels can, if desired, beclosed. the expansion room of thepanels must not be prevented. it mustbe ensured that the air supply from be-low and the extracted air above thepanels are free and that the resultingmoisture variations will be balanced outby the circulation of air.

max compact panels are also availablein f-Quality.

FIg. 1

� the substructure must be protectedagainst corrosion and rotting.

� Joints or components relating to thepanels must be structured in such away that installations are easily acces-sible.

� all corners within reach must bebevelled to form v-joints.

� on drywalls, the screw connectionsof the substructure must be includedwithin the metal substructure.

Fixing possibilities for wallcladding using FunderMaxCompact.

there are different fastening possibili-ties for wall cladding using fundermaxcompact interior panels.

fundermax compact interior panelscan be screwed into a wooden sub-structure or riveted onto an aluminiumsubstructure. fundermax compactinterior panels can also be glued onto asubstructure consisting of wood, alu-minium or hPl strips. furthermore it ispossible to fix compact panels withsuspension rails from wood or alumini-um.

Invisible mechanical fastening

if a visible fastening device is not de-sired, fundermax compact interiorpanels can also be attached to thewall using different suspension rails.the sections that are attached to thefundermax compact interior panels,can be fixed using blind fasteners,screws or spreads for example. ideallyscrews or sleeves are used with metalthreads. in both cases, the hole in thecompact panel is for drilling a smallerthread.

it is important that the horizontal sus-pension rails are suspended in such away that a vertical ventilation is possi-ble.

for the use of screws or rivets as fas-tening devices, the following pointsmust be followed: the centre of theborehole in the substructure must cor-respond with the centre of the bore-hole in the fundermax compact pan-els. the mounting devices should beattached from the middle of the paneloutwards. a slide point and a maxi-mum of 1 fixed point must be used.sufficient expansion room must be en-sured. in general the joints on the pan-els should be 2 mm/metre.

SLIDINg POINTSDepending on the necessary expan-sion clearance, the drilling diameterfor sliding points in the fundermaxcompact panels is bigger than the di-ameter of the mounting material: theshaft diameter of the fixing device plusat least 2 mm per meter of claddingmaterial from the fixed-point outwards.the head of the fixing device must bebig enough to allow the borehole to re-main invisible in the fundermaxcompact panels. the fixing devicemust be arranged in such a way thatthe panels can move. Rivets are at-tached with rivet gauges. the defineddistance allows a movement of theparts in the borehole (clearance 0.3mm). screws should not be fastenedtoo tightly. Do not use counter-headsunk screws, use washers if neces-sary.

Due to their water-resistance, and hy-gienic surfaces, fundermax compactinterior panels are particularly suitablefor use in wet rooms, shower screens,therapy rooms and changing rooms.using these panels, architects andbuilders can ensure that the environ-mental and functional requirementsare fully met.

TEChNICAL NOTE ON ThE USE OFFUNDERMAx COMPACT INTERIORPANELS

� throughout the construction andmounting process it is particularly impor-tant to ensure that the material is not ex-posed to stagnated moisture. the panelmaterial must always be able to dry out.for shower facilities which will be ex-posed to prolonged use, a sufficient ven-tilation system in the room is important.

� Due to the material characteristics, itmust thoroughly be ensured that dur-ing the adhesion process offundermax compact interior panels toone another (doubling, corner joints orbevelling), all bonded parts have thesame fibre direction. this means thatattachments should be made solelylength to length and breath to breadth.the remaining panels must always beindicated with the production direc-tion. corner joints must be mechani-cally supported through the use ofdowels, springs, special milling proce-dures etc.

FIg. 1

� for high levels of moisture e.g. show-er cubicles or similar, a mechanicalconnection of joints is indispensablewhen combined with an elastic and wa-tertight bonding adhesive system.

for the construction of cubicles fromfundermax compact interior panels,you have the possibility to choosefrom our extensive range of coloursfrom the fundermax collection. Pleaseconsult our current valid delivery pro-gramme. the construction elementsdescribed in this brochure 'compactinterior technique 'are suitable for allareas of use of fundermax compactinterior panels. if other profiles, fix-tures etc. are used, these must beprovided in stainless steel quality ifused in wet or damp rooms (nirosta,brass, aluminium).

vENTILATIONas with wall cladding, sufficient venti-lation must also be ensured when pro-cessing ceiling panels and cladding.(see chapter on wall cladding).

SLIDINg POINTthe diameter of the drill hole infundermax compact must be drilledlarger than the diameter of the fasten-ing, depending on the required expan-sion clearance. this is the shaft diame-ter of the fastening plus 2 mm for everymeter of cladding material starting fromthe fixed point.the head of the fastening must be bigenough so that the drill hole in maxcompact is always covered. the fas-tening is placed in such a way that thepanel can move. the rivets must be putin place with a flexible mouthpiece. thedefined distance allows a movement ofthe parts in the borehole (clearance 0.3mm).screws must not be over-tightened. Donot use any countersunk screws.

FIxED POINTthe fixed point allows for the equaldistribution (halving) of swelling andshrinking movements. the drill diame-ter in the fundermax compact panelsshould be the same size as the diame-ter of the mounting device.

Per panel, a fixed point is drilled asclose to the middle as possible. allother fastening holes are drilled asslide points.

APPLICATIONfundermax compact interior panelsare often used as table tops forschool, desk, office, conference, lab orfactory tables.

RESISTANCEDue to their pore-free surfaces and ex-cellent chemical resistance,fundermax compact interior panelsare very easy to clean. further advan-tages of these panels include theirhigh scratch, tear and impact resis-tance.

STORAgEneither tables nor table panels shouldbe stacked as the heavy stack weightcan lead to damage.

PANEL ThICKNESSthe thickness of max compact interiortable panels should either be 12 mm,or at least 10 mm, in order to allowenough depth for screwing. both panelthickness and mounting distances aswell as expected load platforms, aredirectly linked and must be measuredcorrespondingly.

FASTENINgthe fastening of compact interior pan-els can be carried out in a number ofdifferent ways, however, due to thematerial characteristics, a linear freeexpansion must be considered duringthe mounting process. the panels canbe mounted mechanically usingscrews. the screws can either be di-rectly screwed into the panels or in-serted using sleeve screws with inter-nal and external threads (e.g. Rampainserts). for this, the panels must bepre-drilled for to establish a thread.fastening the panels using screwstakes place from the underside of thematerial. therefore, metric thread andflat-head screws are suitable. washerscan be used if required.

fundermax compact interior panelsare suitable for shopfittings, designapplications, hospitals or for homeand office furniture.

in principle, the same panel connec-tions used for conventional furnitureconstruction can be used. however,as it is not necessary to use the samepanel strengths, the panels must beselected correspondingly.

Due to the material characteristics ofthe fundermax compact interior pan-els, both fixed and sliding points mustbe drilled. During the adhesion pro-cess of fundermax compact interiorpanels to corner joints, stumps or bev-el cuts, it must be ensured that allbonded elements have the same pro-duction direction. that means adhe-sions must solely be made length tolength and breadth to breadth. the re-maining panels must always indicatethe machine direction.

Due to the largely low material thick-ness, the recommended means ofmounting are screwing or riveting(blind rivets). the drill diameter mustbe selected larger than the shaft diam-eter of the mounting materials (dimen-sional changes). in keeping with thelarger screw heads, setting heads onrivets or washers should be used.

max compact interior corner jointscan be produced along the entirelength using brackets. this is particu-larly necessary when covering largeareas but also to support adhesivejoints when used in wet rooms.

if the underside of the max compactpanel above the substructure is beingdrilled from behind, fixed and slidepoints must be considered (as de-scribed in the table tops chapter). aminimum panel thickness of 13 mm isnecessary to ensure sufficient drillingmaterial.

max compact interior panels are par-ticularly suitable for furniture construc-tion, bathroom fittings, office furniture,shopfittings and a wide range of de-sign applications.

Depending on the use, max compactinterior panels can be used in furnitureconstruction using the standard adhe-sive systems to join or mount materi-als together or to clad a correspondingsubstructure.

Construction advice

fundermax compact interior panelsshrink at the release of moisture andexpand upon the intake of moisture.these possible dimensional changesof the panels must be taken into con-sideration during the processing andconstruction process. metal construc-tions change their dimensions accord-ing to variations in temperature.however, the dimensions of compactpanels change under the influence ofvarying degrees of relative air mois-ture. these dimensional changes ofstructures and panels can work in op-posing directions. therefore, it is im-portant to ensure sufficient expansionroom during the mounting process.

a rule of thumb for the required ex-pansion clearance is: 2 mm/metre.

� Due to the material characteristics,it is imperative that during the adhe-sion process of fundermax compactinterior panels to one another (cornerjoints, stumps or bevel cuts), all bond-ed parts have the same fibre direction.this means that attachments shouldbe made solely length to length andbreath to breadth. the remaining pan-els must always indicate the produc-tion direction. corner joints must bemechanically supported through theuse of dowels, springs, special millingprocedures etc.

� for high levels of moisture a me-chanical connection of joints is indis-pensable when combined with an elas-tic and watertight bonding adhesivesystem.

� throughout the construction andmounting process it is particularly im-portant to ensure that the material isnot exposed to stagnated moisture.the panel material must always beable to dry out. for use in wet roomse.g. bathrooms, a sufficient ventilationsystem in the room is important.

� if fundermax compact interior pan-els are set apart from the substruc-ture, they must be protected againstcorrosion (rotting).

� visible edges, or edges within reachmust be bevelled or at least sandeddown using sand paper in order toprevent injuries or damages to the ma-terial.

SANDWICh ELEMENTS

Recommendation for theproduction of sandwich el-ements with Max Compact

the production of sandwich elementstakes place:� through direct moulding into suit-able technical devices.� through glueing of the core materialon the one sanded side of the maxcompact panels. this type of sand-wich element is also simple for crafts-men to carry out.

CORE MATERIALS� Polystyrene hard foam panels (xPs or ePs) � Rigid polyurethane foam panels � mineral wool panels (high density necessary)

ADvANTAgES AND APPLICATIONS� Decorative surfaces with high insulation values can be achieved� stable and light-weight door elements

IMPORTANT INFORMATIONmax compact panels must be pro-cessed in the same direction on bothsides (production direction - there istwice as much swelling and shrinkagebehaviour in a horizontal panel direc-

tion than there is vertically). maxcompact panels must be conditionedbefore adhering. as a timeframe forsufficient conditioning (normal work-shop temperature) a period of 7-14days should be given, depending onthe panel thickness. before the adhe-sion process, the adhesive surfacesmust be degreased and dust-free. ifthere are no machine application de-vices available, a notched trowel canbe used.the applied quantity is stipulated bythe adhesive manufacturer. foamswith a certain elasticity compensatefor different changes in length e.g. forvariations of temperature inside andoutside.

ing regulations provided by the adhe-sive manufacturer. for the protection ofthe surfaces, protective films must beleft on the panels. when using hot-meltadhesives, do not exceed 60° c.

MOUNTINgsandwich elements with max compactpanels should be mounted with suffi-cient room for expansion (2 mm/metre)built into a rotating frame structure. itis imperative that stagnated moisturewithin the frame profile is avoided.frame drainage and glazing blocksshall be provided. for late groutinguse the weather side with glazingtapes. it must be ensured that the re-bated moulds are sufficiently stable tobe able to fasten mechanically(screws, nails, rivets etc)so that theyremain firmly intact even under occa-sional tensions for e.g. wind pressure.the mounting process must at leastcorrespond to that of the laminateglass. Different uses for the sandwichelements with compact interior andsystem wall dividers (e.g. offices) in-clude: gate, door or window parapetpanels, infill panels for wall dividers,vehicle construction and containers,trade fairs and cold storage cells.
