Multipanel - Multipanel Building Panels [BLP]
Overview:
Durable, lightweight and zero added VOC building panels made partially from plant-oil base and high-density polyurethane. Suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications..
Product Description:
Extremely lightweight, rigid building panels made partially from renewably sourced plant-base and high-density polyurethane foam, with zero added VOCs. The panels are approximately 60% lighter than traditional building materials. MultiPanel Building Panels provides a suitable alternative to MDF, fibre cement sheeting, particle board or plasterboards, marine plywood, balsa wood core products and other composite materials. MultiPanel Building Panels can be used for similar applications to these traditional materials.
Panels can be a suitable replacement for timber based comparative products, conserving forests. Lightweight material saves in transport energy and allows for easy installation.
Manufacturer states the product has similar structural qualities, and Thermal Resistance values show superior thermal properties, relative to comparative building panels.
Durable and waterproof, panels are compatible with a variety of finishes including textured coatings, acrylic paints, laminates, timber veneers, tiles, granite, stonework or metal.
MultiPanel Building Panels can be used for applications across a wide variety of industries including building and construction, marine, trains, aviation, caravans, refrigeration, fencing, landscaping, waterfeatures, signwriting and more.
MultiPanel recommend the use of Fixit FMP 100, polyurethane curing adhesive for the use of joining boards together, the fixing of various finishes and joining to different substrates (see Issues of Concern below).

This adhesive contains Diphenylmehtane-4 which is harmful by inhalation (R20). This issue of concern relates to people applying adhesive for various purposes. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) helps mitigate potential issues. Refer to material Safety Data Sheet for further information.
Product contains Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate (DMI) which is harmful by inhalation (R20). This issue of concern relates to in factory mixing of raw materials and as such is an OH&S issue and extends no in-use concerns except during fire when combustion products will contain toxic components. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) helps mitigate potential issues. Refer to material Safety Data Sheet for further information.
