Metal construction
Panel edge reinforcement
The dimensionally stable and pressure-resistant panel edge reinforcement from COMPACFOAM is the ideal insulation material for high stresses in the edge area of sandwich elements. The edge reinforcements guarantee permanent and consistent clamping without deformation.
Sandwich panels in highly thermally insulated window and façade constructions, as well as frame constructions with glazing beads, require appropriate thermal insulation values and high compressive strength at the insulation level.
The bars are individually cut to size for you based on the panel thickness and edge width specifications. The thickness tolerance is +/- 0.3 mm.
The components can be easily cut to the required panel thickness from standard panels using circular saws or we can manufacture rods to your exact specifications.
The material guarantees freeze-thaw stability and freedom from deformation in this critical area over the entire service life. This is the basis for a durable and tight connection. The "warm edge" also enables optimum U-values for sandwich elements. Even under extreme humidity and temperature conditions COMPACFOAM extremely dimensionally stable.
Details
In addition to ready-made bars in width and height, we also supply whole panels in the desired thickness. These offer you even greater flexibility to cut the bars to size yourself in your own workshop.
Apart from the standard length (2350mm), you can order any other length up to 6m from us.
COMPACFOAM can be easily cut to size using commercially available saws such as circular saws, pressure beam saws or hand-held circular saws. It is important to use saw blades with a wide tooth spacing and free chip space.
For the cutting of COMPACFOAM we recommend saw blades with flat teeth and chip thickness limiter and very large tooth pitch. Optimum cutting results are achieved at 2000 rpm.
Saw blade recommendation
With its optimum thermal conductivity of 0.0387 W/mK, CF100 is ideal for panel edge reinforcement.
STILL OPEN
With the help of a newly developed process, particle technology, we can reduce the waste of COMPACFOAM recycle to 100 %. CFeco200, the result of this process, offers the same good properties as COMPACFOAMhigh strength with excellent thermal insulation.
This increases the proportion of recycled materials in construction and improves the eco-balance of your project and company. Because environmental protection means keeping things in circulation instead of disposing of them at great expense.
