Properties

Weight The weight of a panel is calculated by the weight of the face sheets and the weight of the honeycomb core (4.4 or 4.8 kg/m2 for a 25 or 30 mm panel respectively).
Impact strength At room temperature the impact strength, using a Falling Dart Impact Test with a 20 mm spherical head, is >80 J (translated >250 J/m2), at 20°C it is 35 J.

Weather resistance

The face sheets guarantee excellent UV-protection according to tests carried out in a desert area of Arizona. The panel produced excellent UV resistance with no significant signs of ageing compared to similar plastic materials, which have a stronger tendency to surface cracks at intensive UV-irradiation. Omnia panels do not decompose and are resistant to salt water. Chemical resistance is very high and the product also offers high resistance against oil, fats, and the most commonly used agents. Internal tests indicated that the water absorption of the panels is below 1.5%.

Compression strength

The compression strength at short-time load to an area of 50x50 mm² is 2.3 MPa.

Bending Properties

The figure shows the strength in kg/cm width at centred line load on a panel having a bearing distance of 750 mm compared to a weight per unit area of kg/m2.	Materials: A: 30 mm Standard Omnia B: 40 mm PUR, 0.6 mm Steel C: 16 mm Plywood D: 40 mm PUR, 2 mm GRP
Fire Uncoated panels have a normal fire resistance according of B2 (DIN 4102). A standard coating achieves fire resistance of class F1 (DIN 53438-3).
Heat insulation Thermal Insulation Behaviour of Standard Panels 25 mm Heat transfer coefficient K 2.5 W/m2K 30 mm Heat transfer coefficient K 2.2 W/m2K Post Fabrication and Forming Omnia panels can be shaped by rebating and thermal forming. Suitable techniques for joining components are: riveting, welding or gluing. For applications, treatment and storage please pay attention to the 'Technical Data Sheet' of the manufacturer. The specifications in this data sheet represent the current state of our technical knowledge and its purpose is to inform about Omnia and its products. The specifications therefore do not guarantee particular properties or suitability for a specific application. We reserve the right to make changes in accordance with technological processes and other developments.
