TECHNICAL FEATURES MECHANICAL PROPERTIES (according to EN12369-1) The mechanical properties of Superpan Encoform 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 Encoform P5 has the following certifications: CE Marking Issued by AENOR No. 0099/CPD/A65/0008 AITIM 24/04/04 quality seal Chain of custody certification PEFC number 14-35-00006 FSC number TT-COC-003279 DURABILITY Superpan P5 Encoform boards are suitable for Service Class 2 and Service Class 1 and 2 according to...

APPLICATION GUIDE (according to ENV 12872:2000) STACKING Boards should be stacked horizontally upon flat surfaces, conveniently away from the ground and with enough 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 vertically to...

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 packaging according to the moisture content of the end use. Forward direction SUPERPAN TECH Forward direction Top or decorative side Rotation of the disc SUPERPAN TECH 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...

USE IN FORMING Superpan Encoform can be used in two main formwork situations: - Freely supported for horizontal works - Attached onto formwork structures with screws A critical aspect for the good quality of concrete surfaces involves the need to store boards protected from excessive moisture or direct sunlight, and preferably stacked vertically when not in use. FORMWORK PREPARATION Before any use, regardless of the storage conditions or the interval between uses, a liquid release agent should be applied to the board. Selecting the most appropriate type of release agent to the type of...

LOAD DIAGRAM The values ​​ the diagrams are valid for board average load predimensioning and moisture of content of 12%. s mm support L=200 between distance s mm support L=200 between distance s mm support L=200 between distance NOTE: These figures ​​ were obtained with a calculation model for uniformly distributed loads, for boards with at least three supports and all of them with equal length spans loaded at the same time. It refers to predimensioned loads which do not exempt the technician responsible for the work from checking the appropriateness of the sizing to the project or to the...

USE IN FENCING WORKS Superpan Encoform can be used for temporary fencing works, as long as it is not exposed to extreme environmental conditions that may cause warping and deformation of the boards. Superpan Encoform For best results and proper product life, the following has to be taken into account: DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF THE BOARD SUPPORT NETWORK The board must be placed on a network of posts and beams. It is recommended that at least three or four beams be placed horizontally to hold the board. The boards should be placed at least 50 mm off the ground and clearly away from any pool of...
