TECHNICAL PROPERTIES
BOARD SIZES
BE769 is available in a range of sizes
(length x width +/- 1mm x depth +/- 0.5mm)
1524mm x 608mm x 50mm
1524mm x 608mm x 75mm
1524mm x 608mm x 100mm
1524mm x 608mm x 125mm
STORAGE OF MATERIAL
The boards must be stored indoors, on a flat
dry surface. Temperature variations must be avoided
during transportation and storage.
ANCILLARY MATERIALS
BE769 is available with compatible adhesives,
repair pastes, sealers and release agents.
For blocking up, back up or framing structures,
use a matched adhesive. Variations in the coefficients
of thermal expansion (CTE) of boards, adhesives and
back up or framing materials may introduce stress into
composite structures when they are heated or cooled.
Use caution with variations in CTE as this may cause
warping or micro cracking when subjected to heat.
