Introduction to PROMARINE®-640

PROMARINE®-640 is a lightweight non-combustible board manufactured from autoclaved calcium silicate, reinforced with selected minerals and fibres. The boards contain no asbestos or other mineral fibres. No special precautions are necessary when working with the panels. HPL (High Pressure Laminate) is suitable for bonding to PROMARINE®-450 using a number of adhesives.

PROMARINE®-640 composite panels can be processed simply by using normal joinery tools when sawing, planing, drilling etc. When using power equipment, such as electric saws, dust extraction should be used to reduce the airborne nuisance dust generated.

When making cut-outs in laminated PROMARINE®-640 composite panels it is important to radius the corners to prevent laminate splitting.

PROMARINE®-640 is suitable for lamination of high pressure laminates using a variety of adhesives. Both cold and hot press methods of lamination can be employed.

Type of glue to be used when bonding laminates to PROMARINE®-640 will be determined by the adhesive specified in the laminate manufacturer's certificate of approval from the appropriate classification body.

Pre-bonded PROMARINE®-640 composite panels should not be stored or used in conditions where the relative humidity  (RH) falls below 35% or above 85%, and where the maximum temperature is above 35°.
