THERMALSAFE™ Mineral Fiber Panels
 
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 
The panels are fabricated by a continuous process at the Metl-Span Shelbyville, Indiana facility.  THERMALSAFE™ panels are composite panel assemblies that sandwich a mineral fiber core between metal facers or “skins”.  Panels are not fully encapsulated by the metal skin—the mineral fiber core is exposed around all edges.  The mineral fiber core is adhered to the metal skins by a two-component polyurethane adhesive mixed with a wiping mechanism at the time of panel construction.  See Appendix A for a cross-sectional view of a THERMALSAFE™ panel.
 
One edge has a square or “spline” groove cut into the mineral fiber core down the length of the panel.  The opposite edge of the panel has a square shape protrusion or “spline tongue” extending from the mineral fiber core running down the length of the panel.  This allows a tongue-and-groove fit of the mineral fiber cores between adjacent panels.  The main connecting mechanism between two panels is a tongue-and-groove connection made at the edge of the panels by the metal skins.  Panels are symmetric about their centerline.
