Note

Despite the greatest possible care taken when carrying out content controls, PREFA assumes no liability for the completeness and accuracy of the contents. Subject to technical modifications and errors.

The aluminium composite panels may only be used at temperatures of –50 °C to +80 °C. Allow for material expansion when deciding which type of fastening system to use (glued fastening or mechanically screwed down/riveted fastening).

To absorb thermal expansion, a joint must be made in the panel joint with a width that depends on the change in dimensions to be expected. However, we recommend a width of at least 8 mm. The panel must be attached with fixed and sliding points.

The thermal expansion coefficient of the PREFABOND aluminium composite panel with FR core is 0.024 mm/m/°C.

3 m	4.32 mm	7.20 mm
