Standard SYMONITE is manufactured with 0.5mm aluminium faces; the exterior face is coil coated with PVF2 (PVFD), the interior face is normally mill finish. Other sizes, thickness and finishes may be available on request.

Core
The core is a fully cured fibre reinforced Phenolic Resin bonded under heat and pressure to the outside metal faces.

Curved Shapes, Physical and Mechanical Properties
It is recommended that the tensile stress in a panel under maximum wind load should not exceed 71 MPa.

Thermal Expansion
Coefficient of thermal expansion: 22 x 10-6 mm/mm/°C

Thermal Resistance
SYMONITE is stable up to a temperature of 150²C. 4mm - 0.018m²K/W

Acoustic Properties
4mm - 29dB; 6mm - 30dB
