CompakBoards are Moisture Resistant panel materials that can be specified for use in the most strenuous humid domestic interior conditions where dimensional stability and retained strength are of great importance. Some examples of application would be kitchen & bathroom furniture, skirting boards, mouldings, wall cladding, shelving and flooring.

FRAMEWORK AND INSTALLATION

COMPAKBOARDS can be installed on a wood or steel framing. Framing components and other surfaces must be straight of uniform dimensions and properly aligned. 

Ceiling:

Ideal to install the Compakboards in 2 ft x 2 ft dimension using 3/16” to ¼” thick.

Install sheet in a brick pattern with the ends supported by its frameworks.

Hold boards firmly against the framing and start fastening/nailing at the center of the sheet and moved outward toward ends and edges.

It is best to have 2.5mm to 5mm gap between panels to allow clearance for possible board extension

Walling/Paneling:

Whole sheet can be installed on walls preferably 3/16” to 1/4” thick.

Start installing in the upper corner of the wall, work across and down. 

Ends and edges of sheets should not be touching the floor base by providing 2.5mm to 5mm distance from the floor base and joints.

For special designed framings, use the 3/16” thick board and follow the flow of the frameworks.

The High Strength characteristics for its relatively Light Weight, make CompakBoard panels an ideal industrial packaging material, reducing transport costs in this industry. Other advantages gained from this aspect of the material, mean that it is easier to handle in applications such as reusable concrete shuttering board, while being formaldehyde free it can be used for food transportation, in particular fresh food and vegetables.

FINISHING WORKS
PAINTING / LACQUERING

Fill and level joints with patching compound before painting or lacquering.

Like any other wood materials, primer coating furnished good results before painting.

Allow each coat to dry before proceeding.

Two or more coatings normally yield its perfect finishing touch.

FURNITURES &
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

CompakBoards when sanded to a suitable finish, can easily accept Paper and Decorative Laminates, Formica and natural wood veneers.

The natural wood fibers will surface when lacquered or varnished when sanded.

HANDLING & STORAGE

Allow curing of boards from 8 to 24 hours by laying it on flat surface for best workability.

If the boards are wet, dry it through sunlight or hot air in a shaded area.

Store PhilCOMPAK products on a flat dry surface. Cover the boards with canvass or other protective materials. Keep it free from leaking roofs.

Protect corners and edges of the boards from direct hit of hard objects.
