Technical
Palusol®SW is a ready made laminated board material that can be used to manufacture both flat and raised and fielded – fire resisting panelled doors.
In a joint development between Mann McGowan® and BASF SE, fire resistance tests have been successfully conducted on both 30 and 60 minute door constructions.
These tests carried out by Chiltern International Fire in accordance with BS 476 Part 22: 1987 have culminated in two global assessments Chiltern
A0 9136 and A0 9165.
Our Technical Manual is available to download here and provides details of all of the products required to manufacture and install FD30 and FD60 fire resisting panelled doors.
The Palusol®SW Boards and all the intumescent materials should be obtained direct from Mann McGowan to ensure the fire test evidence is complied with.
We cannot supply SW Panels in isolation, all components must be supplied together.
Benefits
By using Palusol®SW boards manufactured by BASF SE and distributed by Mann McGowan®, specialist joinery producers and OEM’s can manufacture flat and raised and fielded panelled fire resisting door-sets. As the boards are pre-manufactured and pressed, this provides savings on production time and negates the need for R&D on the part of the manufacturer.
These tangible benefits equates to lower production costs as well as allowing the producer to tender for work in this increasing market sector.
Other benefits include;
- Global Fire Assessments from Chiltern International Fire
- 10mm thick panels can be used on FD30 and FD30(S) constructions
- A double layer of 10mm thick panels can be used on FD60 and FD60(S) constructions
- Customised raised and fielded decorative panels can be utilised
- Commercially available wood adhesives can be used
- Up to 10 panels per door leaf can be accommodated
- Glazing apertures can be incorporated
- Acoustically tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2: 2010
- Allows for the use of Softwood at minimum density of 510kg/m3
