Natural materials

FunderMax Compact Interior panels are made primari-ly from wood that is processed into ”kraft papers“.The wood accumulates as a by product during loggingor in sawmills. We procure these raw materials fromsuppliers that are certified under the FSC and PEFCstandards. The standards confirm that the loggingoccurs in accordance with internationally valid rulesfor sustainable forestry.

Fig. 2

FunderMax Compactand the environment

Environmentally Friendly Production

The kraft paper is impregnated with resins on impreg-nating lines, dried and pressed at high pressure andheat into durable moisture resistant panels. The ex-haust air extracted from the drying is treated by rege-nerative thermal oxidation in which heat produced the-reby is redirected back into the process. For installingthis efficient air handling FunderMax was given thebest practice the ”climate:active“ award by theAustrian Energy Agency and the Federal Ministry forthe Environment. The production plant can thus redu-ce its emissions by approximately 10,000 tons of CO2

per year.

Long-lasting and maintenance-free

Extensive tests certify the exceptional durability ofCompact Interior panels. The production processensures a highly resistant surface. FunderMaxCompact Interior panels do not require any maintenan-ce to ensure a long service life. The surface of thepanels is highly resistant to soiling. If necessary, theycan be cleaned with standard cleaning agents. It is notnecessary to seal the edges, even after cutting. Therobust surface is also suitable for highly stressedapplications such as ramming protection and is highlyresistant to impact marks.

Disposal/Recycling

Off-cuts are energetically recycled in-house. Ourstate-of-the-art green electricity district heating powerstations no harmful exhausts arise such as dioxin, hy-drochloric acid or organic chlorine compounds. Theresidual ashes are free of heavy metals. Basically, thespecific provincial laws and regulations concerning thedisposal must be observed. In Austria, the thermal re-cycling of waste is preferable to landfill. The ash resul-ting from the thermal recycling of waste can be easilydisposed of in controlled industrial landfills.

Material characteristics

Material characteristics and expansion clearance

Max Compact panels do not only react to temperaturebut primarily to moisture in relation to the climacticconditions of the respective storage or mounting area.If both of these influential factors affect one side of thepanel only, it can lead to variations of flatness depen-ding on the period of exposure. Please take note of ouradvice concerning ventilation, storage and stack cove-rage.

Max Compact shrinks when it loses moisture!Max Compact expands when it absorbs moisture!When working and constructing with the panels,thought must be given to this possible dimensionalchange. For Max Compact it is basically half as muchlengthways as widthways (see properties on page 10;lengthways is relative to the nominal panel format!).

Metal substructures experience dimensional changeswhen exposed to variations in temperature. However,the dimensions of Max Compact also change under theinfluence of increasing relative air moisture. These di-mensional changes of the substructures and claddingmaterials may work in opposing directions. Therefore,it is important to ensure sufficient room for expansion. As a general rule for necessary expansion clearance:

Element length = aElement width = b

a or b (in mm)500

= Expansion clearance

Temperature resistance

Max Compact Interior panels remain dimensionallystable up to 80°C of constant temperature exertion.

Max Alucompact42 and Max Alucompact06 are speci-ally designed for use in highly fluctuating temperaturesor varying climatic conditions on both sides of the pa-nels.

Max Alucompact Arrigo, Marc, Tri and Quattro panelsshould not be exposed to high fluctuations of tempe-rature and moisture (recommended use +15°C to+35°C, 30 – 70% relative to air moisture)

Transport and Handling

Handle FunderMax Compact Interior panels with carein order not to damage the edges and surfaces of thehigh-quality material.In spite of the excellent surface hardness and the in-stallation protection film, the stack weight of FunderMaxCompact Interior panels is a possible cause of damage.Therefore, any form of dirt or dust between the panelsmust definitely be avoided.

FunderMax Compact Interior panels must be securedagainst slippage during transport. When loading or un-loading, the panels must be lifted. Do not push or pullthem over the edge.

Transport protection films must always be removedfrom both sides at the same time.

The transport protection film must not be exposed toheat or direct sunshine.

Storage and Air Conditioning

must be stacked horizontally on flat, stable supportsand supporting panels. The goods must lie completelyflat.

Cover plates must always be left on the stack. The topcover should be weighted down.After removal of panels, PE films must again be closedover the stack.

The same applies, in principle, for cut-panel stacks.Incorrect storage can lead to permanent deformationof the panels.

FunderMax Compact Interior panels are to be storedin closed rooms under normal climatic conditions.Climate differences on the two surfaces of a panel areto be avoided.With pre-installed fastening elements, therefore, careis to be taken that the climatic effect is uniform on allsides. Use intermediate layers of wood or plastic.

The processing of FunderMax Compact panels

GeneralThe surface area of FunderMax Compact Interior pa-nels contains high-quality melamine resins and is the-refore highly resistant. The processing properties ofthe FunderMax Compact Interior panels are similar tothose for the processing of hardwood. Hard metal cut-ting tools have been tested and are indispensablewhen working with FunderMax Compact Interior pa-nels. If a long tool life is required, diamond-tipped (DP)tools should be used. Sharp blades and smoothfunctioning are both necessary elements to ensure afaultless processing of the material. Breaking-off,splintering and chipping of the decorative side is a re-sult of incorrect handling or unsuitable tools.Machine tables should be as flat and smooth as possi-ble, so that no chips collect - which can damage thesurface area. The same also applies for work surfacesand the controlling of hand-held machines.

Safety measures

This is simply a list of the recommended personal pro-tective equipment. The standard required protectiveequipment for the given field of work should be used(work clothes, safety boots, hairnets,...).

Gloves

Non-bevelled cut edges are sharp and pose a risk ofinjury. To protect against the handling of freshly cutFunderMax Compact panels, gloves of protection ca-tegory II with a minimum cut resistance of 2 should beused.

Processing recommendations

Fig. 10

Protective goggles

As with the manufacturing of any other wood, tightly-sealed eye protectors must be worn when workingwith FunderMax Compact.

Dust protection

As with the manufacturing of any other wood, the pro-cessing of FunderMax Compact panels can createdust. For sufficient respiratory protection, dust maskfilters for e.g. should work.

Hearing protection

During the mechanical treatment of FunderMaxCompact the sound level can rise to above 80dBA.Please ensure that you have adequate ear protection atall times when working with these materials.

General processing guidelines

When working with FunderMax Compact Interior pa-nels the ratio between the number of teeth (z), the cut-ting speed (vc) and the feed rate (vf) must be obser-ved.

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 material

Tools with hard blades (e.g. HW-Leitz) can be used. Inorder to extend tool life, the use of DP-tipped tools(DP polycrystalline diamond) is recommended.

General advice

If chip removal is not carried out regularly, this canquickly lead to damage of the blade. As a result therequired engine power is increased and the tool lifewill be shortened. If the shavings are too small theywill then scrape and eventually blunt the tool, therefo-re leading to a short tool life.

Sliding table saws and panel splitting machines withscoring unit and pressure beams.

Scoring circular saw blade:In order to achieve a good cutting edge quality on thesaw exit side, the use of a scoring unit is recommen-ded. The cutting width of the scoring circular saw bla-de is slightly bigger than that of the main circular sawblade so that the exiting teeth of the main saw no lon-ger touch the cutting edge. As a secure and smoothcirculation of the work pieces can only be guaranteedusing a pressure device, divided scoring circular sawblades are used on the table and sliding table machi-nes.

For circular saw blades with a negative rake angle andsaw shaft above the work piece. Through the negativerake angle, the cutting pressure takes effect using thestable table support.

Adjustment-Visible side upwards; -very narrow saw guide; -smooth alignment of the FunderMax Compact Interiorpanels on the workbench with the saw blade; -correct blade protrusion. Depending on the blade protrusion, the entrance andexit angles and therefore the quality of the cutting ed-ges will change. If the upper cutting edges areunclean, the saw blade will need to be adjusted to ahigher level. The saw blade must be adjusted to a lo-wer level for an unclean cut of the underside. This ishow the best height adjustment is determined.

Cutting with handheld tools

� Finely toothed handheld saws are suitable for singlecuts. Low set teeth are preferable. The sawing shouldbe done from the panel surface area, where the saw isat an angle of approximately 30° relative to the surfa-ce area.

� For straight cuts with handheld circular saws, a stopbar or guide rail should be used. Saw blades suitablefor hard metal use should be used. The sawing takesplace from the panel underside using the followingtooth forms: Variable tooth for coarse cuttings, flattooth/trapezoid tooth for clean cuts of FunderMaxCompact Interior panels and panels which are bondedon both sides.

Processing Recommendations

Milling machines – edge processing

� Edge processing by hand: For the finishing of ed-ges, files are suitable. The file direction moves fromthe decorative side to the core. For broken edges, finefiles, plane files, sand paper (100-150 grain) or scra-pers can successfully be used.

� Edge processing with handheld machines: to millbevels electric hand planes with bevel or bevel groo-ves can be used. Hand routers are used along withhard metal tools for special tasks (e.g. wash basin re-cess , Trax-coupling etc.). In order to protect theFunderMax Compact Interior panel surface areas, thesupporting surface of the hand routers should be co-vered with for e.g. panel parts, no felt! Milling shavingsshould be carefully removed.

Milling cutter diameter 10-25 mmCutting speed vc 1 30-50 m/sec.

We recommend hard metal tipped milling cutters,which are also available with indexable inserts. For abetter functioning of your tools, height-adjustable mil-ling cutters are preferable. The sharp edges will bebroken down afterwards.

� The processing of edges with stationary machines:For milling work on the FunderMax Compact Interiorpanels, the optimal ratio of teeth, cutting speed andfeed rate should be observed. If the shavings are toosmall, the machine will scrape (burn) and thereforeblunt quickly, meaning it only has a short service life.On the other hand, if the shavings are too big, the ed-ges will be wavy (strokes) with an unclean finish. Highrotational speeds are not the only criterion for goodquality edges! When working with the hand fed machi-nes, only those with the marking 'MAN' or 'BG-Test'should be used. Furthermore, the given machinespeed range should neither be exceeded nor fallenshort of for reasons of safety. Hand fed machinesshould only be used when working in the opposite di-rection.

Milled edges can be finished in the following way:Sand the edge surface and smooth out the sharp ed-ges with sandpaper. When processing edges, handplanes with steel residue can be used. It is also re-commended that HSS blades are used. The cuttingangle of the blade should be approx. 15°.

For the processing of FunderMax Compact Interior pa-nels, milling heads with an HW indexable insert bladeor diamond-tipped cutter are suitable.

Routers

For processing using router machines and machiningcentres, solid hard metal twist or diamond-tippedrouter drills are best suited. Work pieces must be wellclamped and if necessary, additional mechanical ten-sioners can be used to support the suction cup. It isalso recommended that shrink-fit ThermoGrip jawchucks are used instead of collect chucks as they of-fer the highest stability and stiffness of all known ten-sioning systems for shaft tools.A satisfactory processing result can only be achie-ved if there is sufficient stiffness in the machine.'Light' radial machines are only of limited suitabili-ty. Ideal: Stiff portal machines

Format, groove and finish millingFor high requirements of cut quality - Z3 model forhigh feed rates.

Edges and Grooves

Grooved edges on FunderMax Compact panels shouldalways be bevelled, not sharp-edged! This spares thecorners of the machine (indexable inserts) and pre-vents a notch effect. The service life can often decreasedramatically depending on the height adjustment, themachine type and form, the cutting requirements andsupport material. For high volume production, the useof diamond-tipped machines should be considered.

Edge sanding

With standard machines, grain 100 to 120. Edges canalso be grinded using sand paper or a scraper. A mat-te colour finish of the black panel edges can be achie-ved if combined with silicone-free oil.

45°45°

45°

Inner notches and cut-outs

With inner notches and milling grooves, the cornersare consistently rounded off. The inner radius shouldbe kept as large as possible (minimum radius 5 mm).For inner notches and milling grooves over 250 mm si-de-length, the radius must be gradually increased in li-ne with the side-length. Inner notches can be directlyformed using the milling cutter or they can be pre-dril-led with a corresponding radius, before the cut fromdrill hole to drill hole is milled. Sharp-edged cornersare weak and lead to the formation of cracks due totension. Moreover, all edges must be ripple-free. If,sharp-edged corners are required for constructive rea-sons, this can only be achieved through a combinationof Compact panel blanks. The suitable cutting, millingand drilling machines for the production of inner not-ches and milling grooves are described in the previoussections.

Drilling

Solid hard metal twist or dowel drills are used for dril-ling. In machining centres, the use of the main spindleinstead of the drilling beams for a rpm of 2000 – 4000min-1 and a feed rate of 1.5 – 3 m/min, is recommen-ded. The exit speed of the drill must be carefully se-lected so that the melamine surfaces of the CompactInterior panels are not damaged. Shortly before thedrill exits the work piece in full diameter, the feed ratemust be reduced by 50%. When drilling through-holes,the counter-pressure should be built up using hard-wood or equivalent material to prevent break-offs ofthe melamine surface.

For screw fittings parallel to the panel level, pleaseensure:

� The residual thickness (b) of the Compact Interiorpanel must be at least 3 mm.� The hole diameter of the drillings parallel to the panelsurface must be selected in such a way to avoid any split-ting of the compact panels when tightening the screws.� For screw fittings parallel to the panel surface, metalsheet and chip board screws are suitable.� In order to ensure respective stability, a minimumdepth of engagement of 25 mm is necessary. � Screw fittings parallel to the panel levels are to beavoided with Compact forming elements. It is imperati-ve that tests to establish the correct drill diameter arecarried out.

For the screwing of blind holes perpendicular to thepanel 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 Interior Panels, drills forplastics are best suited. This means twist drills with apoint angle of ≤ 90°. They have a large gradient andchip space. The sharp drill bits mean that these drillsare also very suitable for the drilling of through-holes asthey cut cleanly through the underside of the material.

Bonded edge joints

In order to increase the adhesive surface, special be-vel sections can be milled (Leitz) or, joints with grooveor external springs (ideally compact strips) can be pro-duced.

During the adhesive process, it must be ensured thatboth bonded panels are joined in the same running di-rection (see construction information page 41).

For the gluing of FunderMax Compact Interior panels,reactive adhesives such as epoxy or solvent-free PUglue are suitable (in order to find the best suitable ad-hesive, it is recommended that you consult the adhesi-ve manufacturer).

Be careful when using PU-adhesives. These adhesivesfoam and the surface area of the compact panel mustbe cleaned before the adhesive hardens. Otherwise, amechanical cleaning is necessary, and can lead to da-mage of the FunderMax Compact Interior surfaces.

Basics

Screws should never come into contact with the edgesof the drillhole. They must have clearance on all sidesso that the material can adapt to temperature andmoisture fluctuations. In this way, the formation ofcracks around the holes as well as panel warping, isavoided.

If raised countersunk-head screws are used, underlayrosettes are necessary.

Gluing

Adhesive joints should be carried out in such a waythat dimensional changes of the FunderMax CompactInterior panels and Max Compact forming parts are al-lowed. The panels must only be bonded in the samerunning direction and conditioning, otherwise tensionsmay occur (tip: identify decorative design before cut-ting). FunderMax Compact Interior panels have twiceas much shrinkage and swelling room breadthwisethan lengthwise. If adhesive joints are put under fre-quent pressure, they should be supported using me-chanical joints.Adhesive surfaces should be both sanded, dust-free and pre-treated (see processing guidelines ofthe adhesive manufacturer).Depending on the given application, the following ad-hesive types are recommended by the manufacturer:

The gluing of FunderMax Compact one below the ot-her

� Stiff adhesive joints: reactive adhesives such as po-lyurethane and epoxy glue. Beware that hardened glueresidue can not be removed without damaging the sur-face of the FunderMax Compact Interior panels.Dispersion adhesives (white glue) and condensationadhesives (PVA glues) are not suitable. � Elastic adhesive joints: Adhesions using PUR Kittene.g.: Würth 'glues and seals', Sikaflex 252, Teroson-Terostat 92, Dinitrol 600, Dinitrol 605, Dinitrol F500,Dinitrol 410 UV Plus, from Fuller ICEMA 101/25 + cu-ring agent 7etc. have been tested.

The gluing of FunderMax Compact Interior with insu-lants

Solvent-free reactive adhesives with polyurethane orepoxy resin adhesive e.g.: ICEMA RR145/44 or ICEMAR145/12, silicon adhesive 100 from Ramsauer.

Gluing of FunderMax Compact Interior with wood

After sanding the Compact panels, they can be bon-ded to wood materials using high-quality PVAc glues(white glue). A condition being that the material canabsorb the glue moisture during the setting process.

Gluing of FunderMax Compact Interior to metal

The different thermal expansion behaviour of both ma-terials in fluctuations of temperature and air moisture,must be considered. For thin panel materials of 1 mmto 3 mm thickness, the adhesion must take placeacross the entire surface and also using elasticallybinding adhesives. The thinner the panels used the

greater the risk of tearing of existing tensions. In parti-cular, if there are recesses which have not been ap-propriately finished, that is, they have not been drilledwith smooth edges. Furthermore, poor application ofthe adhesive on different places or notches on the pa-nel corners, could be an exit point for tears. An impor-tant parameter for the functioning adhesion ofFunderMax Compact Interior panels to metal supportsis the adhesive joint thickness. This should be bet-ween 0.5 mm und 1 mm for the total adhesion. High-quality contact adhesives for e.g. solvent-free basedadhesives, which combine elastics and chemicals (notthrough the release of water) are suitable for harde-ning. It must be noted that metal components are lar-gely not as flat as for e.g. calibrated wood materials.This makes the maximum surface contact between ad-hesives, Compact panels and metal supports more dif-ficult. Adhesive errors could emerge as a result whichcould in turn lead to tears. Careful rolling with smallhand rollers is recommended! The pressing of entirepanels is only possible using entirely flat materials

Summary

Large panel thickness means that the adhesion of me-tal materials poses little risk. The use of 1 mm thick la-minate panels requires even more care when proces-sing as there is a risk of residue. All other conditionsfor an appropriate processing must be adhered tosuch as the conditioning of the FunderMax Compactpanels to the intended climatic conditions on site andthe preparation of metal surfaces in accordance withthe glue manufacturer guidelines etc.

Mounting adhesives for the support of mechanicaljoints

For the support of mechanical joints, cyanoacrylateadhesives (superglue), as well as hot-melt adhesivesare used.� Elastic adhesive systems - Adhesive joints with PURKitten e.g.: Würth 'glues and seals' Sikaflex 252,Teroson-Terostat 92, Dinitrol 600, Dinitrol 605, DinitrolF500, Dinitrol 410 UV Plus, etc. have also been testedfor the installation of basins in Max Compact formingelements.

For ventilated wall-cladding on corresponding sub-structures, elastic adhesive systems and acrylate ad-hesive tapes are suitable.E.g. from 3M: VHB adhesive tape systems Acrylic foam4950 1 mm thick or 4912F 2 mm thick. When using double-sided adhesive tapes, it is particu-larly important to consider the climatic conditions atthe place of intended use, as dimensional changes ofthe supports or Compact panels can lead to uncon-trollable tensions.


26


The greater the surface area and thus possible lengthvariation, the thicker the adhesive tape must be.

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

For the distances of these vertical tracks to each ot-her, the following applies:Panel thickness 4 mm max. 100 mm

5 mm max. 200 mm6 mm max. 300 mm

The initial tack is made using a double-sided adhesivetape which also regulates the adhesive joints to 3 mmafter pressing.

In any case, sample tests should be carried out beforeworking. Please follow the recommendations of theglue manufacturer under all circumstances.

There are adhesives on the market, which show goodbonding strength and resistance against temperaturesand moisture. These are therefore well suited for theadhesion of FunderMax Compact Interior panels.

Adhesion process

� Both the FunderMax Compact Interior panels, aswell as the materials bonded to them, must be tho-roughly cleaned before adhesion. They must be freefrom dust, grease, oils and moisture or particles thatcould mark the surface area after adhesion. During theadhesive process, the ambient atmosphere should be18 - 25°C and 50 - 65 % relative air moisture.

� The adhesive joint quality must be selected in relati-on to the adhesive material quality of the support ma-terial and its intended use.

Use of adhesive joints in accordance with DIN 68602:B1, B2 for normal to high air moisture conditions ofadhesions in interior fittings. B3, B4 for normal to extremely wet conditions both in-door and outdoor.

A high water-resistance of the adhesive joints does notincrease the water-resistance of the support material!

� The information provided by the given glue manu-facturer should be consulted. It is recommended thattest adhesions are carried out under similar room con-ditions. When working with adhesives, solvents andhardeners, safety guidelines must be followed for rea-sons of occupational safety.

Pressing temperature

� Tension-free composite elements are most safelyproduced in pressing temperatures of 20°C, that is,room temperature. Higher temperatures mean a re-duction in setting time. However, as dimensionalchanges are also dependent on the temperature, andas the temperature of FunderMax Compact Interiorcould vary from other materials, 60°C should not beexceeded in order to avoid heightened tensions whichcould lead to the warping of the materials.

� If special adhesions require higher pressing tempe-ratures, the following temperature/time combinationsshould not be exceeded in order to avoid deformations:

Temperature Time 60°C 5 min. 70°C 4.5 min. 80°C 4 min. 90°C 2 min. 100°C 1 min.


28

Adhesive application and pressing process

The adhesive application must be equally distributedacross the surface area. It must be ensured that theapplied quantity is the same on both sides of the sup-port material in order to avoid distortions. This particu-larly applies to water-based adhesive systems.Therefore, when using these systems, the appliedquantity of adhesive must be kept at an optimal level.

Dispersion adhesives� PVAc glues, two-component PVAc-gluesThe adhesive application can be done either by handusing a notched trowel or hand roller, or using an ad-hesive application machine.Cold pressing:screw clamps, spindle presses, multi-daylight presses.Warm pressing:Multi-daylight presses, short-cycles presses, doublevolume presses.� Always ensure: optimal and even adhesive applicati-on as well as the compliance with pressing temperatu-res and times.Pressing pressure 2-4 bar.

Condensation resin adhesives� Melamine urea-based resinurea-based resorcinol resinFor the elastification of the adhesive joints, the adhesi-ve approaches require the following additions (e.g. ty-pe powder). These also lead to a clean-lined surface.Different types of curing agent allow for a wide varietyof adhesion and pressing data.� Warning: Impurities on the FunderMax Compactsurfaces as a result of adhesive or curing agent resi-due, must be removed before the pressing, otherwisethey can no longer be removed without damaging thesurface. Separating agents prevent an adhesion of ad-hesive residue on FunderMax Compact surfaces andpress plates. Resorcinol resin adhesives are used forthe production of elements with a high flame resis-tance.Cold pressing: screw clamps, spindle presses, multi-daylight presses.� Warm pressing: multi-platen presses, short-cyclepresses, double volume presses.� Always observe: optimal and even adhesive applica-tion as well as compliance of the pressing temperatu-res and times. Pressing pressure 2 - 4 bar.

Contact adhesives (solvent-based)� When working with solvent-based contact adhesi-ves, occupational safety and accident prevention re-gulations must be adhered to! Contact adhesives de-mand particular care when handling. Therefore, theguidelines laid out by the glue manufacturer must befollowed precisely. Adhesive application by hand: withbrush, notched trowel; by machine using spray sys-tems (hot and cold) or using casting devices onFunderMax Compact panels and support materials.When applying the adhesive using the notched trowel,the direction of application on the supports andCompact panels should be at a right angle to oneanother. � It is important to ensure that there are good dryingconditions (Finger test!), no draft, no dust! Contact ad-hesives require a short but powerful pressing pressurein order to ensure a secure adhesion.� Pressing with hand rollers, rolling presses, multi-daylight presses.� Contact adhesives with curing agents; these adhesi-ves lead to a higher tolerance and temperature resis-tance of the adhesive joints.� Information on the particular processing conditionswill be provided by the glue manufacturer.

Reactive adhesives� Used for special adhesions. However, the largenumber of different types means that there are nostandard, valid processing recommendations. Bewareof surface area damage as a result of the setting adhe-sives.

Hot-melt adhesives� Used for edge bonding in corresponding devices

Our application engineers are happy to answer anyquestions concerning the processing and finishing ofFunderMax Compact.

Ceiling elements

Notes on the use of railings:

� The thickness of the panels is directly linked to thefastening distances. � The fastening must fulfill static requirements as wellas building regulations. However, the fastening dis-tances must be reduced to at least 20% for holed pa-nels.� Holes and slits are not supposed to be used as aclimbing aid for children. Holes should not be any big-ger than 50 mm in diameter.� For recesses in FunderMax Compact Interior, we re-commend using the corresponding fall protection byMax Alucompact42 panels. For railings see page 84.

Hole patterns

� (The panels are weakened by the recesses). It is re-commended that Max Alucompact42 panels be used.(Beware! Sizes for Max Alucompact42: 2140 x 1060 mm,2800 x 1300 mm und 4100 x 1300 mm) � Never remove more than 20% of the material if inten-ded for fall protection. � The space between the holes or slits must be at leastas wide as the diameter of the holes or slits. This also ap-plies to the edge distances.

Perforation of FunderMax Compactpanels

FunderMax Compact Interior panels can be perforatedusing different shapes which are mostly in the form ofholes or slits.

FunderMax Compact Interior panels

The focus of this recommendation is a depiction of thechemical resistance of the FunderMax Compact pa-nels and the resulting possibilities for application.

Besides their excellent mechanical values, the melamineresin and hygienic pore-free sealed surfaces of theFunderMax Compact Interior panels mean a high tempe-rature resistance, easy cleaning and a good resistanceto chemicals. The stain resistance requirements in ac-cordance with EN 438 are also met.

They can therefore be used when for example;� Lab and technical chemicals� Solvents� Disinfectants� Dyes (certain types)� Cosmeticsare used on the surface.

Chemical resistance

Particular attention must be paid to the careful pro-cessing of FunderMax Compact Interior panels, ascertain requirements may be imposed due to the parti-cular field of use when constructing certain laboratoryand medical facilities. For this kind of application werecommend the use of Max Resistance (lab panels).

FunderMax Compact Interior panels are resistantagainst many different chemicals. However, severalchemicals 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 thatthey are complete, give an overview of the resistanceof FunderMax Compact Interior panels (at room tem-perature) against the effects of frequently occurring orused substances (solid, dissolved, fluid, gaseous).When using substances that are not listed, we ask thatyou enquire further and recommend own sample tests.

Please start the cleaning procedure for unknownstains with basic cleaning, cleaning procedure A to Gin order to perform the desired success. To preventstreaking you have to perform a final cleaning.

Basic cleaningClean the surface just with pure hot water and use asoft sponge – (DO NOT use the abrasive "green" sideof the sponge), use a soft cloth or a soft brush (e.g.nylon brush).

Cleaning procedure ASame as basic cleaning, in addition use common hou-sehold cleaners without abrasives e.g. dish detergent(Palmolive,Fairy), window cleaner (Ajax,Frosch).

Cleaning procedure BSame as basic cleaning, but you may additionally useorganic solvents (acetone, alcohol, turpentine, thin-ner). For persistent dirt pollution try to clean mechani-cally. Caution: avoid scratching, use plastic or woodenspatula.

Cleaning procedure CIf the contamination is not removable, you can use asolution of soft soap - water (1:3). Depending on thedegree of pollution leave it on the surface for a coupleof minutes. Subsequently do the final cleaning.

Cleaning procedure DSame as basic cleaning, but you may additionally usecommercially available disinfectants. Steam cleaning is possible. Take care of the suppporting material (e.g. wood beams, wall paneling, insulation, ...), toavoid wetting.

Cleaning procedure ERemove immediately! If necessary, perform cleaningprocedure C and final cleaning procedure.

Cleaning procedure FRub off the surface with a soft cloth or a soft spongedry. If contaminants cannot be removed, use siliconeremover (e.g. Molto).

Cleaning procedure GFollowing the initial cleaning, liquid cleaners can beused with polishing chalk (Cif, ATA). Do this procedureonly occasionally! For persistant limescale acidiccleaning agents may be used (for example, 10% ace-tic acid or citric acid). Subsequently do the finalcleaning.

Final cleaningDetergents have to removed with water completely toavoid streaking. Finally clean with hot water and ruboff the surface with an absorbent cloth or paper towel(Kitchen roll).

When cleaning with solvent:observe the accident prevention regulations! Open windows! No open flame!

Fig. 56

Fig. 57

FunderMax Compact Interior and Max Compact for-ming elements offer a wide variety of design possibili-ties for both fixed and removable wall, column andceiling cladding. They have been used in hospitals,swimming pools, train stations, barracks, schools andother buildings.

On the following pages we will show you a range ofwall cladding mounting and application possibilitiesfor FunderMax Compact Interior panels.


40

Non-ventilated wall cladding

If ventilation is not possible or if it is undesirable forhygienic reasons, it can be omitted using Max Alu-compact06 or Max Alucompact42 due to the specialconstruction of this product. A stable, sustainable la-mellas substructure must always be constructed. Forthis application it’s possible to use stripes of Compactwith a thickness of ≥ 6 mm. As these wall cladding pa-nels can be sealed on all sides, it is possible to produ-ce a wall protection that meets hygienic requirementssuch as easy cleaning and maintenance.

In this way, wet rooms, as well as public buildings,clean rooms, laboratories and medical facilities for e.g.operating theaters including the adjacent sterile inletand outlet channels as well as preparatory and sterileareas, hospital rooms and doctor offices, all becomehygienic and germ-free zones.

Please contact our technical support department di-rectly if you have requests for direct screwed wallcladdings without rear ventilation.

Technical note on Alucompact06

Max Alucompact06 can be used as non-ventilated wallcladding in a wide range of areas under the highesthygienic conditions. The 0.06 mm aluminium layer thatlies under the decor on both sides, works as a vapourbarrier and helps to prevent warping of the panels indifferent climatic conditions. Critical cases are thosewhereby non-ventilated wall cladding is used on thecold room side of non-heated rooms, e.g. the innerwalls of cold rooms. As well as existing brickwork withpossible moisture residue that can rise from theground, for example, in the ground floor and basementof old buildings. This must be considered during theplanning process. In these instances, we recommendMax Alucompact42.

Max Alucompact06 and Max Alucompact42 panels arealso available in F-Quality.

Ventilated wall cladding

Max Compact Interior with black core is the product ofchoice for classic ventilated wall cladding. The ventila-tion guarantees a control of temperature and moisture,particularly for existing building moisture in the wallsor climatic variations in adjacent rooms.

An unequal climate in front of and behind the materialscan lead to warping of the panels. Therefore, the pa-nels have a substructure meaning that a circulation ofair (ventilation minimum 20 mm) between the panelsand the wall is guaranteed, from top to bottom. Jointsbetween the panels can, if desired, be closed. The ex-pansion room of the panels must not be prevented. Itmust be ensured that the air supply from below andthe extracted air above the panels are free and thatthe resulting moisture variations will be balanced outby the circulation of air.

Max Compact panels are also available in F-Quality.

Construction information

� A fixing of wall cladding directly to the wall is notappropriate with the given materials. A substructureshould always be provided.

� In general, during the construction and fixing pro-cess it must be ensured, that the material is not expo-sed to stagnated water. The panel material must con-sistently be able to dry.

� Due to the material characteristics, during the bon-ding of Max Compact panels to one another - edgeadhesions or bevels - it must be ensured that all con-necting components have been manufactured in thesame running direction. That means that they can bejoined length to length and breadth to breath.Therefore, the machine direction must always be indi-cated on the remaining panels.

� For extremely wet conditions, e.g. shower cubiclesor similar, the mechanical edge adhesion is indispen-sable, particularly when used with an elastic and wa-ter-resistant binding adhesive system.

� The substructure must be protected against corrosi-on and rotting.

� Joints or components relating to the panels must bestructured in such a way that installations are easilyaccessible.

� All corners within reach must be bevelled to form v-joints.

� On drywalls, the screw connections of the sub-structure must be included within the metal sub-structure.

� For non-ventilated wall claddings: Moisture perme-able walls in particularly damp brickwork (solid brick-work, ready-mixed concrete), Max Alucompact42 mustbe used instead of Max Alucompact06.

The same logically applies to the Max Compact for-ming elements. Due to the formable panel constructi-on, due care must be taken for the selected use andprocessing. Please consult our application engineers.We reserve the right to make changes in line withtechnical progress.

Fixing possibilities for wall claddingusing FunderMax Compact.

There are different fastening possibilities for wall clad-ding using FunderMax Compact Interior panels.

FunderMax Compact Interior panels can be screwed in-to a wooden substructure or riveted onto an aluminiumsubstructure. FunderMax Compact Interior panels canalso be glued onto a substructure consisting of wood,aluminium or HPL strips. Furthermore it is possible tofix Compact panels with suspension rails from wood oraluminium.

Wall Cladding

Invisible mechanical fastening

If a visible fastening device is not desired, FunderMaxCompact Interior panels can also be attached to thewall using different suspension rails. The sections thatare attached to the FunderMax Compact Interior pa-nels, can be fixed using blind fasteners, screws orspreads for example. Ideally screws or sleeves areused with metal threads. In both cases, the hole in thecompact panel is for drilling a smaller thread.

It is important that the horizontal suspension rails aresuspended in such a way that a vertical ventilation ispossible.

Visible mechanical fastening

For the use of screws or rivets as fastening devices,the following points must be followed: The centre ofthe borehole in the substructure must correspond withthe centre of the borehole in the FunderMax Compactpanels. The mounting devices should be attachedfrom the middle of the panel outwards. A slide pointand a maximum of 1 fixed point must be used.Sufficient expansion room must be ensured. In generalthe joints on the panels should be 2 mm/metre.

Sliding points

Depending on the necessary expansion clearance, thedrilling diameter for sliding points in the FunderMaxCompact panels is bigger than the diameter of themounting material: The shaft diameter of the fixing de-vice plus at least 2 mm per meter of cladding materialfrom the fixed-point outwards. The head of the fixingdevice must be big enough to allow the borehole to re-main invisible in the FunderMax Compact panels. Thefixing device must be arranged in such a way that thepanels can move. Rivets are attached with rivet gau-ges. The defined distance allows a movement of theparts in the borehole (clearance 0.3 mm). Screwsshould not be fastened too tightly. Do not use coun-ter-head sunk screws, use washers if necessary.

Fixed point

The fixed point allows for the equal distribution (hal-ving) of swelling and shrinking movements. The drilldiameter in the FunderMax Compact panels is just asbig as the diameter of the mounting device.

Per panel, a fixed point is drilled as close to themiddle as possible. All other fastening holes are drilledas slide points.

Edge spacings

The edge spacings must be maintained for reasons ofstability and flatness. In order to allow for dimensionalchanges, the panel joints must have joints of at least 2mm per metre of panel.

The stability of cladding is determined by the sub-structure and the thickness of the cladding material.

Glued fastening

An alternative to invisible, mechanical mounting is theadhesion of FunderMax Compact panels with speciallydeveloped adhesive systems.

As a substructure for adhesive wall claddings, vertical-ly arranged strips made from wood, aluminium or MaxCompact/ Max Alucompact06, are suitable.

For dry walls, a screw connection of the substructurestrips to the metal substructure is necessary. Fordamp brickwork (solid brick work, ready-mixed con-crete) a Max Alucompact42 must be used.

Edge spacings

The edge distances must be maintained for reasons ofstability and flatness. In order to allow for dimensionalchanges, the panel joints must have joints of at least 2mm per metre of panel.

For non-ventilated wall claddings, Max Alucompact06can be used to seal the joints on all sides with a per-manent elastic, hygienically sealed, low-maintenancesilicone joint.

Cubicles

Due to their water-resistance, and hygienic surfaces,FunderMax Compact Interior panels are particularlysuitable for use in wet rooms, shower screens, therapyrooms and changing rooms. Using these panels, archi-tects and builders can ensure that the environmentaland functional requirements are fully met.

Technical note on the use of FunderMax CompactInterior panels

� Throughout the construction and mounting processit is particularly important to ensure that the material isnot exposed to stagnated moisture. The panel materialmust always be able to dry out. For shower facilitieswhich will be exposed to prolonged use, a sufficientventilation system in the room is important.

� Due to the material characteristics, it must tho-roughly be ensured that during the adhesion processof FunderMax Compact Interior panels to one another(doubling, corner joints or bevelling), all bonded partshave the same fibre direction. This means that attach-ments should be made solely length to length and bre-ath to breadth. The remaining panels must always beindicated with the production direction. Corner jointsmust be mechanically supported through the use ofdowels, springs, special milling procedures etc.

� For high levels of moisture e.g. shower cubicles orsimilar, a mechanical connection of joints is indispen-sable when combined with an elastic and watertightbonding adhesive system.

The same logically applies to Max Compact mouldedparts and folded moulded parts. When processing the-se parts it must be ensured, that cuts are not made di-rectly in the area of the rounded curves. It is advisableto keep the shaft side narrow (see permitted toleran-ces in the current delivery programme). We reserve theright to make changes that affect the technical pro-gress.

For the construction of cubicles from FunderMaxCompact Interior panels, you have the possibility tochoose from our extensive range of colours from theFundermax collection. Please consult our current validdelivery programme. The construction elements des-cribed in this brochure 'Compact Interior technology'are suitable for all areas of use of FunderMaxCompact Interior panels. If other profiles, fixtures etc.are used, these must be provided in stainless steelquality if used in wet or damp rooms (Nirosta, brass,aluminium).

Ceilings and ceiling claddings

Visible mechanical fastening with rivets or screws

FunderMax Compact Interior panels can be mountedon an aluminium substructure using rivets or on awooden substructure using screws. Due to the mate-rial characteristics of Max Compact Interior, fixed andslide points must be drilled for the mounting process.

Sliding point Fixed point

2 mm/m

Fig. 139

Fig. 138

Ventilation

As with wall cladding, sufficient ventilation must alsobe ensured when processing ceiling panels and clad-ding. (see chapter on wall cladding).

Sliding point

The diameter of the drill hole in FunderMax Compactmust be drilled larger than the diameter of the faste-ning, depending on the required expansion clearance.This is the shaft diameter of the fastening plus 2 mmfor every meter of cladding material starting from the fi-xed point.The head of the fastening must be big enough so thatthe drill hole in Max Compact is always covered. Thefastening is placed in such a way that the panel canmove. The rivets must be put in place with a flexiblemouthpiece. The defined distance allows a movementof the parts in the borehole (clearance 0.3 mm).Screws must not be over-tightened. Do not use anycountersunk screws.

Fixed point

The fixed point allows for the equal distribution (hal-ving) of swelling and shrinking movements. The drilldiameter in the FunderMax Compact panels should bethe same size as the diameter of the mounting device.

Per panel, a fixed point is drilled as close to themiddle as possible. All other fastening holes are drilledas slide points.


71

Edge spacingsFor reasons of stability and flatness, the edge spa-cings must be kept to without fail. The joints must bemade at least 2 mm/m wide so that changes in sizecan take place without hindrance (Fig. 139).

Fastening spacingsThese are to be chosen in accordance with the struct-ural engineering requirements (calculations) or, if thisis not necessary due to the local regulations, accor-ding to table no. 20.

FunderMax Compact Interior panels can be attachedto aluminium substructures using adhesive systems.The stability of the structure must be tested using sta-tic objects.

It is important that the respective construction super-visory body on a local or national level grants authori-sation. Due to the different regional building regulati-ons (building codes), the construction supervisory bo-ard can demand for additional support structures bymeans of mechanical fixings (rivets, screws etc.). Theadhesion must be carried out following the processingregulations from the adhesive system manufacturer.FunderMax recommends using adhesive systemswhich are also approved by the building authorities forthe mounting of curtain-type ventilated facades.

The following listed points must be considered throug-hout the working process:

Pretreatment of aluminium substructures� Sanding with abrasive fleece � Pretreatment with cleaning product provided by theadhesive manufacturer � Application of the primer following the recommen-dations of the adhesive manufacturer

Pretreatment of FunderMax Compact panels� Sanding with abrasive fleece � Pretreatment using the cleaning product providedby the adhesive manufacturer � Application of the primer following the recommen-dations of the adhesive manufacturer. All adhesivesurfaces must remain clean, dry and grease-free.Throughout the construction process it must be ensu-red that the adhesive system is not exposed to anystagnated moisture.

Fastening spacings

ApplicationFunderMax Compact Interior panels are often used astable tops for school, desk, office, conference, lab orfactory tables.

ResistanceDue to their pore-free surfaces and excellent chemicalresistance, FunderMax Compact Interior panels arevery easy to clean. Further advantages of these panelsinclude their high scratch, tear and impact resistance.

StorageNeither tables nor table panels should be stacked asthe heavy stack weight can lead to damage.

Panel thicknessThe thickness of Max Compact Interior table panelsshould either be 12 mm, or at least 10 mm, in order toallow enough depth for screwing. Both panel thicknessand mounting distances as well as expected load plat-forms, are directly linked and must be measured cor-respondingly. For very heavy loads, we recommendusing Max Alucompact42.

Fastening

The fastening of Compact Interior panels can be car-ried out in a number of different ways, however, due tothe material characteristics, a linear free expansionmust be considered during the mounting process. Thepanels can be mounted mechanically using screws.The screws can either be directly screwed into the pa-nels or inserted using sleeve screws with internal andexternal threads (e.g. Rampa inserts). For this, the pa-nels must be pre-drilled for to establish a thread.Fastening the panels using screws takes place fromthe underside of the material. Therefore, metric threadand flat-head screws are suitable. Washers can beused if required.

Due to Compact material characteristics, the fixingpoints must be sliding points.

Sliding point: The drill diameter in the substructuremust be bigger than that of the mounting material de-pending on the corresponding Compact expansionroom. The screw head should always cover the bore-hole. The mounting material will be attached in such away that the panels are free to move. Screws shouldnot be too tightly fastened. The middle point of thedrilling in the substructure should correspond with themiddle point of the drilling in the Max Compact.

Drill with centering sleeve! The fastening materialshould be attached from the middle of the panel out-wards.

Cabinet doors:

There are only several door hinges that are suitable forthe thin panel thickness and therefore, door elementssuch as hinges can be doubled. It is important that thesame panel material in the same thickness and decoris used in order to maintain symmetry.

Reactive adhesives are suitable for the adhesion pro-cess, for e.g. epoxy or solvent free PU glues (also seeadhered corpus and corner joints).

FunderMax Compact Interior panels are suitable forshopfittings, design applications, hospitals or forhome and office furniture.

In principle, the same panel connections used for con-ventional furniture construction can be used. However,as it is not necessary to use the same panel strengths,the panels must be selected correspondingly.

Due to the material characteristics of the FunderMaxCompact Interior panels, both fixed and sliding pointsmust be drilled. During the adhesion process ofFunderMax Compact Interior panels to corner joints,stumps or bevel cuts, it must be ensured that all bon-ded elements have the same production direction.That means adhesions must solely be made length tolength and breadth to breadth. The remaining panelsmust always indicate the machine direction.

Mechanical corner joints

Due to the largely low material thickness, the recom-mended means of mounting are screwing or riveting(blind rivets). The drill diameter must be selected lar-ger than the shaft diameter of the mounting materials(dimensional changes). In keeping with the largerscrew heads, setting heads on rivets or washersshould be used.

Max Compact Interior corner joints can be producedalong the entire length using brackets. This is particu-larly necessary when covering large areas but also tosupport adhesive joints when used in wet rooms.

If the underside of the Max Compact panel above thesubstructure is being drilled from behind, fixed and sli-de points must be considered (as described in the ta-ble tops chapter). A minimum panel thickness of 13 mmis necessary to ensure sufficient drilling material

Max Compact Interior panels and Max Compactfor-ming elements are particularly suitable for furnitureconstruction, bathroom fittings, office furniture, shop-fittings and a wide range of design applications.

Depending on the use, Max Compact Interior panelscan be used in furniture construction using the stan-dard adhesive systems to join or mount materials to-gether or to clad a corresponding substructure.

Construction advice

FunderMax Compact Interior panels shrink at the re-lease of moisture and expand upon the intake of mois-ture. These possible dimensional changes of the pa-nels must be taken into consideration during the pro-cessing and construction process. Metal constructionschange their dimensions according to variations intemperature. However, the dimensions of Compactpanels change under the influence of varying degreesof relative air moisture. These dimensional changes ofstructures and panels can work in opposing directions.Therefore, it is important to ensure sufficient expansi-on room during the mounting process.

A rule of thumb for the required expansion clearance is:2 mm/metre

� Due to the material characteristics, it is imperativethat during the adhesion process of FunderMaxCompact Interior panels to one another (corner joints,stumps or bevel cuts), all bonded parts have the samefibre direction. This means that attachments should bemade solely length to length and breath to breadth.The remaining panels must always indicate the pro-duction direction. Corner joints must be mechanicallysupported through the use of dowels, springs, specialmilling procedures etc.

� For high levels of moisture a mechanical connectionof joints is indispensable when combined with an elas-tic and watertight bonding adhesive system.

� Throughout the construction and mounting processit is particularly important to ensure that the material isnot exposed to stagnated moisture. The panel materialmust always be able to dry out. For use in wet roomse.g. bathrooms, a sufficient ventilation system in theroom is important.

� If FunderMax Compact Interior panels are set apartfrom the substructure, they must be protected againstcorrosion (rotting).

� Visible edges, or edges within reach must be bevel-led or at least sanded down using sand paper in orderto prevent injuries or damages to the material.

We do not recommend to mill the surface of Compactwith white core to maintain the perfect cleanability.

The same logically applies to Max Compactformingelements. Due to the formable laminate layer, particu-lar care must be taken when selecting the field of useand the production process. Please consult our appli-cation engineers. We reserve the right to makechanges in line with technical progress.

The rational solution:The milling of Max Compact forming elements and theunscrewing of the built-in wash basin. For high quanti-ties of components, the milling can be done with a ta-ble router using templates.

Installation possibilities for wash ba-sins using Max Compact panels orMax Compactforming elements

The higher the raised edges, the higher the bearingcapacity (stiffness) of Max Compactforming elements.If the shafts are shortened, they should not be cutback under the dimensions: Inner radius + thickness +15 mm. This essentially means that an element that isat least 15 mm wide, must remain as such after therounding process. Please take note of the tolerance values of MaxCompactforming elements, you will find this in a validdelivery programme.

Wash basins

The mounting of an in-built wash basin in arabbeted Max Compactforming element.

This process is described as follows:

1. Draw the cut-out and cut out with a miller

5. Fine clean and finish off with a scraper and sandpaper.Fig. 173

2. Rebate from the underside of the Compactforming Elementwith a rod miller or CNC machining centre.

3. Glue the basin in with PUR glue andscrew in as in the diagram.

4. Mill the projection of the Compact Laminates flush on thevisible side with a manual surface miller (angled miller!).

Sandwich elements

Recommendation for the productionof sandwich elements with MaxCompact panels

The production of sandwich elements takes place:� Through direct moulding into suitable technical de-vices.� Through gluing of the core material on the one san-ded side of the Max Compact panels. This type ofsandwich element is also simple for craftsmen to carryout.

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 canbe achieved� Stable and light-weight door elements

Important informationMax Compact panels must be processed in the samedirection on both sides (production direction - there istwice as much swelling and shrinkage behaviour in ahorizontal panel direction than there is vertically). MaxCompact panels must be conditioned before adhering.As a timeframe for sufficient conditioning (normalworkshop temperature) a period of 7-14 days shouldbe given, depending on the panel thickness. Beforethe adhesion process, the adhesive surfaces must bedegreased and dust-free. If there are no machine ap-plication devices available, a notched trowel can beused.

The applied quantity is stipulated by the adhesive ma-nufacturer. Foams with a certain elasticity compensatefor different changes in length e.g. for variations oftemperature inside and outside.

AdhesivesSolvent-free reactive adhesives such as polyurethaneor epoxy resin e.g. ICEMA R 145/44 or ICEMA R145/12 of the company H.B. Fuller Austria GmbH-DI-NITROL 517 A/B or ICEMA 101/25 + Härter 7 DKSTechnik GmbH

AdviceNot every adhesive can be removed from the panels.Own test samples using glue must be carried out beforethe process begins. Under all circumstances, please ad-here to the processing regulations provided by the ad-hesive manufacturer. For the protection of the surfaces,protective films must be left on the panels. When usinghot-melt adhesives, do not exceed 60° C.

MountingSandwich elements with Max Compact panels shouldbe mounted with sufficient room for expansion (2mm/metre) built into a rotating frame structure. It isimperative that stagnated moisture within the frameprofile is avoided. Frame drainage and glazing blocksshall be provided. For late grouting use the weather si-de with glazing tapes. It must be ensured that the re-bated moulds are sufficiently stable to be able to fas-ten mechanically (screws, nails, rivets etc)so that theyremain firmly intact even under occasional tensions fore.g. wind pressure. The mounting process must at le-ast correspond to that of the laminate glass. Differentuses for the sandwich elements with Compact Interiorand System wall dividers (e.g. offices) include: gate,door or window parapet panels, infill panels for wall di-viders, vehicle construction and containers, trade fairsand cold storage cells.

General information

FunderMax Compact panels und Max Compact for-ming elements can be mounted in different ways ontorailings and balustrades. They can be screwed or rive-ted onto a supporting structure and they can also befixed using glass clamps.FunderMax Compact Interior panels shrink at the re-lease of moisture and expand upon the intake of mois-ture. These possible dimensional changes of the pa-nels must be taken into consideration during the pro-cessing and construction process. Metal constructionschange their dimensions according to variations intemperature. However, the dimensions of Compactpanels change under the influence of varying degreesof relative air moisture. These dimensional changes ofstructures and panels can work in opposing directions.Therefore, it is important to ensure sufficient expansi-on space during the mounting process. As a rule ofthumb, a necessary expansion room of: 2 mm/metreapplies.

Hole patternFor holes in FunderMax Compact Interior panels werecommend using Max Alucompact42 panels for fallprotection. Also see processing recommendations onpage 29.

Construction advice

� FunderMax Compact Interior panels should onlyever be mounted as infill panels for supporting sub-structures.� Throughout the construction and mounting processit is particularly important to ensure that the material isnot exposed to stagnated moisture. The panel materialmust always be able to dry out.� Due to the material characteristics, it must tho-roughly be ensured that during the adhesion processof FunderMax Compact Interior panels to one another(corner joints, stumps or bevel cuts), all bonded partshave the same production direction. This means thatattachments should be made solely length to lengthand breath to breadth. The remaining panels must al-ways indicate the production direction.� The substructure must be protected against corrosi-on (rotting).� All edges within reach must be sanded, v-jointsform between the panel joints.
