Cel Components ALUSTEP 500 FR Fire Retardant Honeycomb Composite Panel (5′ x 10′)

Description

ALUSTEP® 500 FR is a flame retardant sandwich panel with an aluminum honeycomb core, faced with fibreglass skins. The application of ALUSTEP SERIES’ panels allows for significant weight and thickness reduction for natural & engineered stones, such as marbles and granite or mosaics. As a result of the decreased weight and material used, installation, logistics and material costs can be significantly reduced.

A composite is a combination of materials with different properties. This combination gives the composite material mechanical characteristics such as lightness and resistance that are superior to those of single materials. Sandwich panels with honeycomb core and fiberglass skins impregnated with epoxy or phenolic resin (Step Series), are used to reinforce marble and semi-precious stones. This reduces the weight and increases strength at the same time. Lightweight Sandwich panels are not only used with marble and precious stones but also with any stone or ceramic material.

The Step series and the COMPOCEL AL offer various advantages and they are used in order to:

• Reduce the overall weight of the product
• Save stone material
• Improve mechanical properties
• Facilitate handling and installation
• Reduce transport costs
• Reduce CO2 emissions
