STRESS-SKIN PANELS are composites of high modulus skins bonded to lower modulus cores which produce panels with innovative design and structural integrity for the 21st century designer. Theses sandwich panels work for you! As a “Panel Specialist” our wide range of capabilities provide a custom panel with engineered performance to meet your exacting criteria.

VERSATILITY

Custom bonding capabilities with panel sizes of 5 feet wide by 20 feet long or 8 feet wide by 12 feet long, in thicknesses from .25” to 8.”

QUALITY

Our performance standard is zero defects.

FIRE RATING

Isocyanurate insulating materials in Newply panels have a Flame Spread rating of 25 or less and a Smoke Developed rating of 450 according to Underwriters’ Laboratories Report No. R4777 and Factory Mutual Research KBO Report N. PFC 3411.

INSULATION VALUES

The Heat Transmission Coefficient – btu/hr/sqft/F – varies with the thickness and the composition of the insulation materials.

• CELLULAR POLYSTYRENE is available in densities of 1.6 to 1.9 lbs/ PFC and has a minimum shear strength of 20 lbs/PSI.
• CLOSED-CELL POLYURETHANE is available in densities of 1.9 to 2.2 lbs/PFC and has a minimum tensile strength of 30lbs/PSI plus a minimum shear strength of 20lbs/PSI.
• ISOCYANURATE is available in densities of1.8 to 2.3 lbs/PFC and has a minimum tensile strength of 30 lbs/PSI plus a minimum shear strength of 24 lbs/PSI.

Note: Selection of alternative insulation systems will result in different overall thickness for the same C value and different fire resistive ratings.

Allowable Tolerances

• Size and thickness:
  Width and length (+)(-) 1/8 inch
• Thickness (+)(-) 1/16 inch
• Squareness:
  The diagonal deviation across a 5’0” x 18’ 0” panel will not be more than (+)(-) 1/4 inch.
• Flatness:
  Deviation in the flatness of the aluminum facing will not exceed 0.015 inch when measured using a six inch rule with the panel laying on a flat surface at 70?.

Extruded & Formed Shapes

Structural connections, corners, copings, sills, trim, and other manufactured using the same material, gauge, or thickness and finish as the panels used in a project and of profile to suit the system. Each shape is brake formed or shop cut and factory mitered to the required angles. Expansion joints can be formed or manufactured in the same manner.

Delivery & Storage

Delivery of materials should be made in the manufacturer’s original containers that are clearly labeled to indicate contents. The panels should be stored in a dry easily accessible space, protected from damage, and neatly stacked on drainage.
