CORE OPTIONS for insulated panels
Delta Panels offers a full range of core options that have different fire performances. This allows customers to select the panel combination that best suits their particular application. All 4 core options - Expanded Polystyrene Fire Retardant Grade (EPS-FR), Thermosetting Phenolic Composite (TPC) , DualCore (DC) and Mineral Wool (MW) - can achieve a Group Number Rating, subject to strictly adhering to the fixing details as outlined in the Fire Test Reports.
Expanded Polystyrene Fire Retardant (EPS-FR)
EPS-FR has an added fire retardant additive that allows the core to shrink away from any flame source. EPS-FR core allows for strong, light weight panels that are very cost effective in a variety of commercial and residential building applications.

Handling & Installation of MW
Mineral Wool (MW) core material is fibrous. As such, it is easy to fracture the mineral wool fibres if handled and installed incorrectly.
Please ensure that correct lifting equipment is used when the panels are transported and lifted into position. Refer to the Handling & Installation Manual - Roofing Systems for the correct Crane & Sling Procedures.
When installing Mineral Wool panels, only step onto the section of the panels that are supported by the underneath roof structure. Do NOT step on unsupported spans.
Once installed, it is classified as trafficable when used for maintenance purposes. The following recommendations should be observed at all times:
ā
-
Wear flat, rubber soled shoes
-
Walk over the roof supporting beams
-
Spread your weight over as many roof crests as possible
-
Crawl boards should be used when accessing areas not supported by a structure
