TECHNICAL FEATURES TEST These physical-mechanical values improve/comply with the P5 classification established in EN 312:2010 European Standard, table 1 and tables 7 and 8: Load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES (according to EN 12369-1) The mechanical properties of Superpan Tech P5 boards have been tested according to EN 789 in the laboratory of the Joint Unit INIA-AITIM, in April 2012, having achieved the following values: CERTIFICATIONS Superpan Tech P5 has the following certifications: CE Marking Issued by AENOR No. 0099/CPD/A65/0008 AITIM 24/04/04 quality...

New tests for characterizing the physical and mechanical properties of the Superpan Tech P5 board performed at the laboratory of the Unit INIA-AITIM, in September 2013, in accordance with Standard EN 789, show the excellent mechanical strength of the board. The following values were achieved: The bending strength of Superpan Tech P is 1.5 times greater than a P5 chipboard panel, according to EN12369-1. APP FOR CALCULATION OF MEZZANINES To get the best performance from Superpan Tech structural boards, at FINSA we have an application for calculating floors, designed by the team of the Structural...

EARTHQUAKE PROOF Earthquake resistance of light frame systems shows excellent results with the use of Superpan Tech P5. Light frame structures have little mass compared to other structural types, making them particularly suitable for seismic risk regions. Their lightness and flexibility allow energy to dissipate. The Superpan Tech P5 board, as a structural enclosure wall, has been subjected to cyclic loading tests, certifying its good shear behaviour in the manufacture of lightweight material walls. These trials, conducted at the mechanical testing lab of the IVALSA Trees and Timber Institute,...

In using Superpan Tech P5 as a structural board in light frame enclosures, it is relevant to know the water vapour diffusion resistance in order to calculate the condensations. After having conducted tests in accordance with DIN EN ISO 12572, in April 2013, we can certify the following values: Superpan Tech P5

WHY CHOOSE SUPERPAN TECH P5COMPARISON WITH OSB-3 PROPERTY (1) Features for the thickness range of 13 to 20 mm. Superpan Tech P5 has a surface quality that makes it optimal for any machining operation, a clear aesthetic advantage, which acquires an even greater value when painting, varnishing or coating the board, and that can hardly be found in other boards on the market.

APPLICATION GUIDE (according to ENV 12872:2000) STACKING Boards should be stacked horizontally upon flat surfaces, conveniently away from the ground and with a sufficient number of supports to prevent the lower panels from overload. Intermediate battens are recommended between every 15 to 20 panels for ventilation, in line with the lower vertical battens. It is recommended that the battens be placed parallel to the shorter sides and along the entire length of the stack. It is recommended that the ends not exceed 150 mm. When packets are stacked, it is recommended that the supports be aligned...

Forward direction ^ Top or decorative s Rotation of CUTTING AND PROFILING The machining quality of the surfaces decreases with increased moisture contents. When greater precision is required, it is recommended that the boards be cut to size after conditioning according to the moisture content of the end use. Mechanization with power tools The use of carbide or diamond tools and blades is recommended for increased service life. Saw blades with alternating teeth are recommended. It is recommended that circular saw discs are placed as low as possible in order to prevent chipping when the board comes...

The boards must be chosen in accordance with EN 12871. The choice of a board for a structural enclosure wall upon studs depends on the required load stresses, on the axis spacing, on the mechanical properties and the service class. The use of Superpan Tech P5 is recommended only for structural wall enclosures corresponding to service classes 1 and 2. Thermal insulation Interior covering Protective measures should be taken in the enclosure of the typical construction of an outer wall. The outer face of wall cladding panels is usually protected with a breathable membrane and coatings, such as brick,...

USE IN PITCHED ROOFS Wood framework Using Superpan Tech P5 to form pitched roofs in service classes 1 and 2. In pitched roofs, it is recommended to arrange the boards with staggered joints. In order to prevent condensation on the inner surface of Superpan Tech P5, ventilation is recommended. When panels are used in houses with pitched false-ceiling and insulation between the pairs, there must be adequate fresh air on the underside of the Superpan Tech P5 cover, above the insulation, ventilated from eaves to ridge and a vapour barrier in the warm side of the insulation. Air chamber Thermal insulation...
