Vulcan Panelling

Name: Abodo Vulcan Panelling.
Quality: Select Grade / Front face and edges virtually free of any defects but with one edge knot and one small face defect allowed per piece in 20% of boards only. Back side with some defects allowed.
Substrate Colour: Chocolate brown. (Timber will weather to grey unless a pigmented coating is applied and maintained).
Finish: Smooth dressed face. Brushed finish available optionally on request.
Durability: Thermally modified – INTENZ Thermowood 230 degrees schedule. No chemical preservatives used. Field tested at SCION, Rotorua. Suitable for uses described in NZS3602:2003 Table 2A ‘Requirements for wood-based building to achieve a 15-year durability performance Members exposed to exterior weather conditions and dampness’. Durability Class 1 (EN350-1), Class 2 above ground (AS5604).
Insect Attack: Thermally modified pine is resistant to most wood-boring insects but is not always resistant to termites. Preservative treatment is required for termite zones.
Intended Use: Interior panelling, soffit lining, furniture.
Fire: Group 3 or Group 1S using intumescent coating system.
Serviceable Life: 30 years or more when maintained according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
Warranty: 15 years against fungal decay (subject to terms and conditions).
Moisture Content: Approx. 7% MC (+/-2%) at time of dispatch.
Construction: Laminated with vertical grain orientation.
Glue: New generation polyurethane adhesive – VOC, solvent and formaldehyde free Exterior Type 1 – AS/NZS4364. Approved for Service Class 3 (exposed exterior applications).
Expected Dimensional Change in Structure: Width expansion approx 2%, length expansion approx 0.25%, thickness expansion approx 2.5% (from 7% MC to fibre saturation – variation will occur between boards).
Density: ~420 kg/m³.
Hardness: Low (2.5kN Janka).
Weight: TG9 – 2.5kg/m². TG17 – 7.1kg/m².
Thermal Properties: ~0.011 W/(mK).
Compatibility: Vulcan has little or no corrosiveness on metals and can be placed in contact with most building materials. Normal PVA, PU, MUF glues and RF resins can be used.
Coating: Vulcan will take most stains, penetrating oils, paints, polyurethanes and varnishes well, though uptake of coating is generally higher than normal. Smooth dressed faces must be thoroughly sanded with 120 grit sandpaper prior to application of coating. For exterior applications with limited weather exposure only (e.g. soffits), the front face and edges must be finished with an exterior coating system. For soffits, Abodo Protector – Hybrid may be used. For interior applications such as ceilings and walls, film-forming or high-solids coatings (e.g. Abodo Protector – Hybrid, hard wax oil, acrylic or polyurethane) are recommended only. Please contact Abodo for further advice on specific applications.
