Design The high-density NORTEC calcium sulphate panels are manufactured with selected raw materials in a patented single-pulse pressing procedure. This combination guarantees a consistently high-quality product. As reinforcing material, only nontoxic, unbleached cellulose fibers of primary and secondary cellulose are used. This enables us to manufacture a product of consistently superior quality. The panel can be supplied with or without an edge band (dependent on the floor covering applied); these being tapered for easier installation of the integrated panel system. The underside may be additionally lined with galvanized steel sheet or aluminum foil.
Calcium sulphate panel The support elements used have been specially developed for use with access flooring. The main components of these panels are gypsum and high-quality cellulose fibers. Various thicknesses of the panels, as well as special formats, round off the NORTEC line of products. To be able to manufacture standard access floor panels with extra static requirements, and without increasing the thickness of the panels, a special manufacturing process was developed to meet growing demands.
Design of the edges The edges of the panels are tapered down at 5°, which enables simple removal and exchange of the integrated panel system. As an option, the panels can be jacketed with a high-quality plastic compound edge, which offers a defined electrostatic conductivity.
Coating of the lower face of the panel The increased strength of ST-type panels is based on 0.5 mm (0.02”) thick galvanized steel sheet on the lower face of the panel.
