density: 29 - 40 - 56 kg/m³
cell diameter:
10 - 12.7 - 19 mm
2) ADHESIVE
thermosetting
(Starcell formula)
3) EXTERNAL SKINS
MDF sheet (medium density wood fibre)
skin thicknesses:
3 mm (standard)
2 - 4 mm (on request)

| FIELDS OF APPLICATION | ||||||||
| The RAWCELL® Wood - MDF panel is used in the field of interior fittings, transportation (motor homes, trains, yachts) and design (furniture, doors, wings); Worthy of note are two particular applications: the production of loudspeakers and that of large overhead doors, with fine finishes. | ||||||||
| STORAGE | ||||||||
| The RAWCELL® Wood - MDF 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. | ||||||||
