The Story
Ultralight Poplar XPS Sandwich Panel with an insulating XPS (extruded polystyrene) core combined with plywood that is made of 100% European poplar from sustainable plantations.
Its light-coloured poplar faces and premium-quality inner veneers make it ideal for painting, laminating/filming and for digital and screen printing.
The extruded polystyrene (XPS) used for the Ultralight core as insulation is an HBCD-free
flame retardant component and contains none of the foam blowing agents CFC and HCFC.
According to Specification STM-S-001, Index D (2014), Ultralight possesses a very low
smoke gas index and has been classified as F1, a material of low toxicity.
Combining the excellent mechanical properties of Garnica plywood - lightweight, stable and easily machinable - with an insulating and ultralight material such as extruded polystyrene, produces a panel with improved performance.
Also available in a laminated decorative finish in a variety of uniform colours and wood textures – for an attractive appearance and exceptional resistance to impact and scratching.
Composition: Poplar Ply 4.5mm/ XPS core/ Poplar Ply 4.5mm
Glue Type: Class I (interior) according to EN 636
Emissions: Class E1 according to EN 13986
Face grade: BBA/BBA: BBA faces with natural colouring of the poplar heartwood and occasional presence of knots. Both faces closed and repaired*. Ideal for lamination with standard HPL and veneers.
* Except for thin panels (3-ply), in which only the top face is repaired.
- Exceptional lightness of 227 kg/m³ (Density: total thickness of 18 mm (4.5 + 9 + 4.5 composition) ± 5% tolerance.)
- Exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation.
- Dimensional stability. Excellent results in terms of elasticity and modulus of rupture.
- Easily machinable.
- Sustainably sourced from the certified European plantations.
- Available with a laminated coating.
“R” thermal resistance, m²·K/W (kelvins per watt): 15mm - 0.411, 18 mm - 0.496
“U” thermal transmittance (W/m²K): 15 mm - 2.44, 18 mm - 2.01
