FABRICATION MANUAL FOR CASSETTES
Health and Safety
Normal safety and health precautions practiced in any fabricating environment should be usedwhen fabricating ETALBOND® and ETALBOND® FR material. Gloves, steel toed boots, goggles,helmets, dust masks, and hearing protection, should always be worn. It is mandatory to weargoogles and dust masks when working with ETALBOND® FR material.
Product Description
ETALBOND® and ETALBOND® FR are a sandwich type composite panel consisting of a non-toxicpolyethelene core or a fire resistant core permanently bonded between two aluminium sheets.ETALBOND® sheets are produced in core thickness of 2mm, 3mm and 5mm with an aluminiumthickness of 0,50mm. Standard widths are 1250mm and 1500mm and standard lengths are3200mm. The total thickness of ETALBOND® is 3mm, 4mm and 6mm and the ETALBOND® FR is4mm and 6mm. The bonding of aluminium sheets with the core is realized with the simultaneousapplication of mechanical and chemical methods under high temperatures. The final stage ofproduction results in a strong and exceptionally rigid and flat panel. ETALBOND® is atechnologically advanced product whose unique features fit in a variety of applications.

Tolerances:
ETALBOND® and ETALBOND® FR are manufactured to exact tolerances with state-of-the-artequipment. All dimensional tolerances must be in accordance with Appendix D of the Standard EN14509. The thickness of the panels should have a tolerance of ±0,15mm for panels 3 and 4mmthick, and ±0,20mm for panels 6mm thick. The flatness should be visually flat with a maximumdeviation of 0,60mm over 200mm. The panels should have an acceptable deviation of squareness± 0,6% of the panel width. The panel length should be measured the center of the panel andshould have a tolerance of ±5mm for L ≤ 3000mm and ±10mm for L > 3000mm. The panelwidth should be measured at 200mm from each edge of the panel and at the centerline. Theacceptable tolerance for the width of the panel is ±2mm. (See figure 1)

Packaging
The ETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR sheets are packaged and delivered on cushioned, woodenskids with three layer corrugated cardboard paper 4mm thick over on the top and under thebottom sheet. Each pallet is covered with a loose polyethylene wrap all around the ETALBOND®/ETALBOND® FR sheets and wooden cross members are used for stiffness on the top and thebottom. The pallet is held together with steel strapping. (See figure 2)
Handling
ETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR without stiffeners and edge forming should be handled with care.Long sheets will sag in the middle and should be supported correctly. A protective film with anultraviolet barrier is placed on the panel to protect the finish during transportation, fabrication,and installation. There are arrow indications on the protective film, and the cassettes shouldalways be cut and installed with the arrows in the same direction (See figure 3). Worktablesurfaces should be clear of debris and metal shavings which may penetrate the film and scratchthe panel surface. The etalbond panels should be secured against slippage during transport.Never pull or push panels over the edge during loading or unloading situations as there is thepotential to scratch the coated surface. Instead the panels should be lifted by holding them fromboth ends. Transport protection films must not be exposed to direct sunshine or to heat forperiods longer than 15 Days. It is recommended that the protective film be removed immediatelyafter installation.
Figure 3
FABRICATION MANUAL FOR CASSETTES Edited: Sept. 12, 2011 3
When loading or unloading etalbond panels with the use of a forklift, make sure that the lifts areset to their maximum distance apart and located centrally between the pallets. Pallets should beunloaded one by one and placed on even ground. When unloading the panels lifting slings will berequired. Make sure that that lifting slings are in place, in good condition, located with protectionto the bottom panel and that package is balanced. Ensure that no people are below the palletduring a lifting operation. ELVAL COLOUR recommends the use of approved types of lifting orsuction equipment or panel clamps for the safe and easy installation of etalbond panels.
Storage of Panels
Panels should be kept stored in dry and well ventilated areas under normal temperatures. Protectpallets during storage against rain, penetration of moisture and condensation. Only pallets ofidentical size should be stacked, with a maximum of 4 pallets stacked on top of each other. WhenETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR has to be stacked in high piles use intermediate layers of woodor plastic and protected against humidity. The correct storage of panels or pallets is on horizontalracks. Flat storage protects panels from warping. Caution should be paid that the pre-coatedsurface is protected from any potential scratching. It is suggested not to unpack palettes untilready for use. After unpacking, restore remaining panels horizontally into the palette. Do notstore ETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR in dusty places.

Shearing
ETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR can be easily sheared with a punching machine or shearingmachine. However, shearing should be avoided when the edge of the panel is exposed to theenvironment. A shock-absorbing rubber pad should be used when shearing ETALBOND® in orderto avoid damaging the surface of the panel.
Sawing and Routing
Existing machinery and tooling used for woodworking and metalworking can be used withETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR. Prior to processing large quantities trial cuttings should be doneto evaluate both the tool working tolerances and the recommended cutting speeds. Table sawsare not recommended for dimensions larger than 1200mm x 1200mm. ETALBOND®/ETALBOND® FR can be cut to any shape with a jig saw. It is recommended to select the toolgeometry and cutting conditions in such a manner as to minimize the frictional forces developedwhen sawing and routing. ELVAL COLOUR recommends that you use a custom tool supplier.
Line cuts
ELVAL COLOUR recommends an 8” diameter saw blade with extra fine, carbide tipped, 60 tooth,combination rip and crosscut blades. Blades should be maintained and replaced according to theblade manufacturers specifications.
Routed cuts
A special circular saw blade should be used that produces a groove of 105° with a flat surface of2mm for panels bent to 90°. (See figure 4) Carbide blade teeth are recommended. Band sawsand jig saws should be chosen according with the characteristics outlined in the chart below (Seefigure 5). Router bits should be used to machine the 105° V-groove in the ETALBOND®/ETALBOND® FR panels. The bit should have an angle of 105° and a flat surface of 2mmnecessary for creating the proper groove for bending 90° (See figure 6). Saw blades have abetter capacity to machine the product while dissipating the heat generated at a more rapid rate.When routing the panels in a 105° V-groove a minimum of 0,3mm of core should remain (Seefigure 7). When routing the panels in a 135° V-groove a minimum of 0,5mm of core shouldremain (See figure 8). This technique is mandatory for ETALBOND® and ETALBOND® FRpanels, and must be included in the quality inspection process. Automated panel saws canstreamline the fabrication process and are available through equipment manufacturers anddistributors.

Bending:
When bending cassettes the final dimension of the cassette becomes 0,5mm to 1mm longer thanthe original dimension due to the elongation effect. Trial tests should be performed beforeproduction in order to determine any necessary adjustments (See figure 9). V-grooves are madeon the same side of the panel for inside and outside returns. Panels can be easily folded by usingjigs made from standard aluminium extrusions (See figures 10-12).

Joinery
Use the following guidelines when other elements come in direct contact with thesurface of ETALBOND®:
1. Acceptable joining element materials:AluminumPlasticStainless steelPlated or coated steel with cadmium, zinc or aluminum
2. Unacceptable joining element materials:CopperBrassBronzeIronRaw Steel
Unacceptable materials will cause corrosion of joining surfaces due to electrolysis.Therefore, the use of ferrous metals should always have an electrically insulating materialbetween to avoid direct contact with the ETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR. When joiningelements are to be anodized, assemble the materials after the anodizing process. Properconsideration should be given to the thermal expansion characteristics of ETALBOND ®
when using any of the joining techniques.
Rivets
Panels can be fastened together or joined to aluminum extrusion profiles or aluminiumplates with aluminium or stainless steel rivets common to aluminum construction. Blindrivets provide the advantages of labor savings, one-sided working of the material, and thereduced potential of surface damage. Semi-tubular, solid and other types of rivets can alsobe effective on a production basis. Place the closing or set-head on the side of thealuminum extrusion profile or aluminium plate. When conditions do not permit this orwhen two pieces of ETALBOND® are to be joined together, use rivets with special wideclosing heads as shown in Figure 15 or with tightly fitting washers.When blind rivets are subjected to tensile strength tests, the head tends to "unbutton"from the ETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR , or pull through the hole. Since this would causelocalized tearing of the of ETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR , use the largest possible rivethead for connections that will experience loading. All rivets used shall be SFS intec madeof aluminium AlMg5 and mandren from A3 SS. Rivet connections are well suited for partsthat may be subjected to concussion or vibration. Colored plastic concealment caps areavailable for various types of blind and tubular rivets. Consult the rivet manufacturer fordetails. Follow the directions and determine suitability by pre-testing.
FABRICATION MANUAL FOR CASSETTES Edited: Sept. 12, 2011 13
Threaded FastenersThe easiest method of joining sheets of ETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR together or to anextrusion profile erection system is with stainless steel machine screws or bolts (SeeFigure 16). This method allows the panel to be removed. Use the largest possible flatwasher to minimize surface pressure and eliminate possible compression due to cold flowof the core material. Arrange attachment screws at least 2.5 x the diameter of thefastener from the edge of the sheet, as shown in Figure 17. It is not recommended totorque fasteners due to the cold flow of the core material. Two complete turns of the nutpast finger tight is common practice (See Figure 18). Screws when used shall be SFS intecSS A3.

Panel ReinforcementETALBOND®/ ETALBOND® FR panels can be stiffened by adding an aluminium extrusionto the back side of the cassette. Stiffeners act like purlins that are placed along theshortest dimension of the cassette. When wind loads are applied to the cassette thestiffeners transfer the load to the edge of the cassette. The back side of the cassette andthe stiffener must be wiped clean with isopropyl alcohol before bonding the stiffener withthe recommended adhesive to the back side of the cassette. The stiffener is thenmechanically fastened to the cassette edge with stainless steel self-tapping screws 4,8 x25mm and countersink washers(See figure 20).
