PROPERTIES
Excellent resistance to shear and bending forces. Excellent dimensional stability, also in terms of flatness over time. Very good compressive strength (due to aluminium honeycomb). High mechanical performance, compared to the remarkable lightness of the panel. Excellent weather resistance. Wide operating temperature range. Ease of machining with manual or CNC equipment.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION
Typical applications of the RAWCELL® FIBER - PGAL300T panel are in the marble, stone and ceramic markets; 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 - PGAL300T 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.
