Metapal panels are used and binded the same way and on the same substrate as any laminate panel. Please refer to NF T 54-320 standard “Installation guide, decorative HPL” to which we would like to add the following instructions.
Gluing
Hot press gluing: maximum 60 °C
Gluing without press: Vinylic glue (white glue) residues are water-soluble and can be eliminated easily. Neoprene and urea formol (with separated hardener) glue residues have to be eliminated immediately to avoid panel surface alteration.
Balancing
The best balancing is obtained using a Metapal panel of the same thickness on both faces.
To use a balancing counterface different than a Metapal panel, some tests have to be made previously according to the final utilization of the product.
Machining
Prior to any intervention on Metapal panels, the tools must be prepared to avoid any scratches on the metallic surface of the panels.
All sawing, milling, perforating activities can be realized with machinery currently used for HPL panels machining.
Following machining, flush the cutting edge with a soft file or an abrasive paper with smooth grain to eliminate any metallic residues.
