Eco friendly Multipanel
Multipanel is an innovative material suitable for forward thinking project designers and specifiers, who prefer the inclusion of environmentally responsible building and fitout materials. Multipanel is an alternative to many timber products and thus will help conserve our forests. Timber is an expensive and dwindling natural resource, that should be protected for future generations.
The Eco friendly properties of Multipanel include:
Multipanel, due to its excellent thermal insulation properties, results in lower energy use in all domestic and industrial applications.
Multipanel is a non - toxic, non - hazardous material containing no fibrous or flammable components.
Multipanel contains no ozone damaging agents.
Multipanel contains no greenhouse gases.
Multipanel contains no volatile organic compounds (no VOC emmissions)
Multipanel is fire retardant, using non - halogen containing fire retardant additives.
Multipanel polyol component is manufactured from natural non petroleum based oils.
Multipanel can be used as an alternative to many timber based products, thus helps to conserve our forests.
Multipanel products are lower in weight than conventional building products, conserving fuel consumption in shipping/freight and in transport fitout applications.
Multipanel foam can be granulated and recycled as insulation foam.
