PROPERTIES
  • Very high resistance to bending, shear and tensile stress.
  • Excellent resistance to peeling.
  • Excellent dimensional stability, also in terms of flatness over time.
  • Very good compressive strength (due to aluminium honeycomb).
  • Maximum mechanical performance, compared to the high lightness of the panel.
  • Excellent weather resistance.
  • Surface particularly suitable for gluing additional finishes.
  • Wide operating temperature range.
  • Ease of machining with manual or CNC equipment.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
The typical applications of RAWCELL® Fiber - PGA panel are in the marble, stone and ceramic market, where high mechanical characteristics are required together with low overall weight and maintenance of properties over time; the panel is often used for civil engineering applications both indoors and outdoors (including application in ventilated façades); it is supplied in standard or custom sizes to suit all needs.
STORAGE
The RAWCELL® Fiber - PGA panel is a product in the “semi-finished products” category and therefore is subject to further processing; we recommend storing the panels horizontally in a closed and dry environment, possibly away from heat sources and to support them along their edges.
