ThermalSafe® Panel

The Metl-Span ThermalSafe® panel core is made from non-combustible structural mineral wool boards that are processed in the factory to maximize the core's compressive strength. The resulting panel has superior structural characteristics and span capability. Metl-Span has created this panel to achieve one and two hour fire resistive ratings.

The advanced mineral wool core also provides enhanced insulation values that significantly lower heating and cooling costs.

ThermalSafe® Panel: Material Specifications

Exterior & Interior Profile: Light Mesa Wave pattern, nominal 1/32 in. deep.

Core: Non-combustible, rigid mineral wool lamellas. Mineral wool fibers are oriented perpendicular to the panel faces for maximum structural strength.

R-Value: The core insulating properties are 3.61 "R" per inch.

Module Width: 42 in.

Panel Thickness: 4 in., 5 in., 6 in., 7 in., 8 in.

Lengths: 8'-0" to 40'-0", variable by thickness. Contact Metl-Span for exact maximum length for each thickness.

Panel Weight, 26 Ga. Faces: 4" is 4.65#'s/SF, 5" is 5.49#'s/SF, 6" is 6.21#'s/SF, 7" is 6.92#'s/SF, 8" is 7.63#'s/SF.

Exterior Facings: Stucco embossed G-90 galvanized and/or aluminum-zinc coated steel in 26 Ga. and 24 Ga.

Interior Facings: Stucco embossed G-90 galvanized and/or aluminum-zinc coated steel in 26 Ga. and 24 Ga.

Finishes: Full-strength fluoropolymer PVF2 and siliconized polyester.

Colors: Twenty-one available exterior colors in full strength fluoropolymer PVF2; Polar White, Sandstone, Regal Gray, Desert Beige, Cool Sculpture Bronze, Aegean Blue, Brick Red, Cool Forest Green, Cool Marine Green, Cool Zinc Gray, Cool Bright Red, Cool Parchment, Tahoe Blue, Terra-Cotta, Regal Blue, Leaf Green, Hemlock Green, Jade Green, Cool Copper Penny, Cool Metallic Silver, and Cool Metallic Champagne. Three standard exterior colors in siliconized polyester; Polar White, Sandstone and Regal Gray. Interior color and coating is USDA compliant Igloo White.
Note: Prices may vary by color, gauge and quantity of metal.

Joint: Flush double tongue and groove interlock of the metal faces and machined integral spline of the mineral wool core.

Fastening: Both faces of the panel are attached at the connections of the panel ends to the support framing to conform to the requirements of the wall panel's fire resistance rating.

FIRE RESISTIVE DATA
