Interior Premium Star 17 PROCESSING GUIDELINES

HANDLING PREMIUM STAR

Transport and handling Care must be taken to avoid damaging the high-quality edges and surface of the material. Despite the excellent strength of the surface and the protective transport film, the overall stacking weight of Premium Star can cause potential damage. It’s essential, therefore, to avoid dirt and other contaminates between the panels.

FunderMax Premium Star panels must be secured during transportation to avoid slippage. When loading and unloading, the panels should always be lifted, if necessary with AIDS such as a suction trolley or other similar devices. Do not pull or push the panels across the edge.

ALWAYS LIFT THE PANEL FIG. 1 DO NOT SLIDE THE PANEL FROM THE STACK FIG. 2 ✔

Pro- cations in indoor areas. This product is not recommended for ducts, which are covered in film, must not be stored in direct horizontal applications with load requirements. sunlight. Under certain conditions, increased adhesion may occur during storage. For this reason, it may take a greater amount of force to remove the film. This has no effect on the quality of the product and does not constitute a reason for complaint. If the above instructions are not followed, adhesive residues from the film may remain on the surface of the panel.

Storage and Air Conditioning FunderMax Premium Star panels are stacked horizontally on tarpaulins, stable bearing and production boards. The goods must be fully supported and it is absolutely imperative that there is no dirt or other contaminates between the panels. Also pay attention to clean storage and stacking surfaces of the panel parts : during the entire semi-part production and final assembly process. The cover sheets must always remain on top of the stack. The same rules apply to stacks which have been cut to measure. Improper storage may cause per- manent deformations or damage to the surface of the panels.

Whole panels should be stacked on pallets. If these are un- available, the use of at least 4 stacking timbers (80x80mm) is recommended. The timbers are to be spaced evenly under a ≥ 10mm thick storage panel.

FunderMax Premium Star panels should be stored in closed rooms under normal climatic conditions, at a temperature of around 15 °c - 25 °c and a maximum humidity of 50%-65%. Different climatic conditions on the two panel surfaces must be avoided. Before mounting, the panels must be acclimati- sed adequately to ambient condition to avoid swelling of the edges.
