COMPOSITE MATERIALS etalbond COMPOSITE MATERIALS MACHINING FABRICATION TECHNIQUES Saw Cutting Existing machinery and tooling for woodworking and metal can be used to sawcut etalbond®. A standard circular saw for aluminium sheets may be applied also for etalbond® in the same way. A carbide tip blade made for aluminium and plastic is recommended. The cutting needs to be done on the reverse side of the panels. Portable circular saws can be operational on small projects, provided they are equipped with a system of guides to ensure the cutting in straight lines. Contour Milling Milling cutters are...

etalbond TINY Shear Cutting etalbond® can be easily sheared deploying rotary shears or guillotine shears with advanced cutting technology. Square shear is the most efficient method to size a large quantity of panels. The tolerance between the shearing blades must be regulated to prevent excessive edge rounding of the upper side of the panel. Drilling etalbond® can be drilled with standard twist drills used for aluminium and plastics on machinery common for metals. Holes can be made on etalbond® with a hand drill or a drill press, with a drill bit or circle cutter. Chips removal during drilling...

Cleaning of the Edges In case burr occurs on the cut edges, or the edges need to be rounded, a common handheld scraper can be used after cutting, for smoothing out. We also recommend an abrasive pad for cleaning or deburring the edges of etalbond®. Rout and Return Standard processes used in metal and plastics industry can also be utilized for joining etalbond®. If etalbond® is to be joined to extrusion profiles or structural framing then, taping screws, rivets, bolts and nuts can be used. Structural adhesives and double faced high strength tapes can also be used in conjuction with mechanical...

JOINTING & FIXING TECHNIQUES Riveting etalbond® panels can also be fastened together or joined to aluminium extruded elements with inox or aluminium blind rivets or bolts. In fastening with rivets there should be one fixed point at the middle of the etalbond® work piece. The other fastening points should be made flexible with sufficient hole play. Rivets head should always be large enough to cover the bore hole over 1mm in the panel. If blind rivets are to be used make use of special wide closing heads or tightly fitting washers for the protection of etalbond® surface. The suggested rivet shaft...

Please note: It is important to remove the protective film in the screwing area prior to screwing or riveting. Gluing Adhesives can be used along with double face tape (3MVHB) for fastening etalbond® temporary on flat surfaces such as walls, ceilings, furniture, coverings etc. Adhesive sealing compounds for high strength and elastic connections for inside uses we recommend the usage of either SIKAFLEX 252, SIKAFLEX 11FC, SIKA Bond –T2 or Prosyflex 3000 by Tremco. Please note: Prior to any adhesion work clean carefully the area to be adhered. Select most appropriate adhesive that ensures adhesion...
