Specification Sheet


Product Description: GridcoreŽ products are engineered molded fiber stressed skin panels. Proprietary technology facilitates the pressure forming of pulp into three dimensional geometric ribs molded to smooth faces. When laminated together, they form honeycomb panels with high strength-to-weight features and impressive design, fabrication and application benefits.

Environmental Features: Standard GridcoreŽ panels are made from recycled resources, primarily kraft fiber recovered from old corrugated containers and industrial liner board. GridcoreŽ is formaldehyde free and will not off-gas during fabrication or after installation. Non-toxic PVA (white) glue is used to laminate panels. The manufacturing process itself generates little or no air or water pollution. The water utilized in the forming process is cycled back into the system. Wide-spread utilization of GridcoreŽ panel products can slow deforestation, preserve habitats, and provide sustainable building solutions to meet the growing needs of 21st Century development.

Note: Changes in raw material content can affect the structural characteristics of the panels. If surfaced with coatings, veneers or laminates, panels should be balanced with similar treatments on both faces to prevent warping.
