FIELDS OF APPLICATION | ||||||||
Typical applications of the RAWCELL FIBER – PGA 550 panel are in the marble, stone and ceramic markets; the panel is often used for civil engineering applications both indoors and outdoors (including application in ventilated façades); it is supplied in standard or custom sizes to suit all needs. |
STORAGE | ||||||||
The RAWCELL FIBER – PGA 550 panel is a product in the “semi-finished products” category and therefore is subject to further processing; we recommend storing the panels horizontally in a closed and dry environment, possibly away from heat sources and to support them along their edges. |
