Additional information on production/ assembly Documentation of availability, extraction and origin of materials Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam consists for over 50% of aluminium. Due to metallurgical constraints (in particular corrosion resistance), part of this is primary aluminium. The raw material for primary aluminium is extracted through industrial processes from the earth. As the aluminium used in Page 5 of 10 Date: 7 November 2012
Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam is sourced from third parties, Hunter Douglas has no information as to the location of extraction of the raw material. Production Packaging Documentation of aspects of occupational health and safety during production Management systems in place As shown in the table of section 2, depending on the size of the panels, the total percentage of recycled content is around 50%. There is no information on the origin of this recycled content. Most likely, both pre- and post consumer sources are used in varying ratio. For the production of Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam Façade Panels the components are supplied by multiple suppliers. The components are modified and compiled to Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam Façade Panels by the following performed operations and compositions: Slitting: Work up coil in such a way that the width is suitable for the next process. The scrap from the slitting process is being recycled. Roll forming: Profiling strip on coil and cutting to length in order to get a suitable profile for making the final panel. Foaming: placement of the PVC profile and vertically foaming the polyurethane foam core. Specials: Panels which need a non-standard shape are processed in such a way that the requested shape is realised. All finished products are packed before shipment to the customer. The products are packed in wooden packaging materials on wooden pallets. The wood used is Whitewood which originates from European production forests. Recycled carton is used to pack the panels within the wooden packaging. Between the panels PE foam protection sheet is placed. For weathering protection the packed pallet is wrapped in plastic. No additional health protection measures beyond the legally binding national or European Union safety regulations are required during the entire manufacturing process.

Maintenance Cleaning Panels are extensively tested for corrosion resistance, fire resistance and wind-load performance. Other than cleaning, Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam Façade Panels are essentially maintenance free. Cleaning the coated aluminium of façades should be part of the maintenance of the building. In general once every six months. This maintenance should already start at an early stage. When cleaning is required, it is advised to use a slightly damp, non-linting and non-abrasive cloth. A mild (ph=7) cleaning agent may be used if necessary. Never use aggressive cleaning agents since they will cause damage to the panels. Before cleaning, always try the chosen method of cleaning on a non-visible part of the panel. After cleaning rinse with sufficient clean water to wash down remains of cleaner and dirt. External influences Cleaning: When the cleaning instructions are followed normally no problems should occur. Water: Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam Façade Panels are impenetrable elements which will not be affected by water. Wind: Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam Façade Panels are able to withstand extremely high wind loads. Thermal shock: Expansion/contraction: The Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam Façade Panels s expansion / contraction is controlled through allowing sliding movement in the fixing clamps and as such no deformations will occur due to thermal movement of the panels. UV: the coatings used for the coil coat treatment have a high level of colour continuity. EN 1396, UV resistance index 3. Fire: Sandwich Wall 60mm Polyurethane Foam Façade Panels are tested BS476 part 7, class1 and tested and classified according EN13501-1 Class B,s3,d0. Page 9 of 10 Date: 7 November 2012
6. Additional information for end of life processes Documentation of Recycling information Documentation of Disposal / landfill information Panels have excellent recyclability, in principle the product can be fully recycled. Recycling requires an intermediary processing step in which coatings, PVC profiles and the polyurethane foam are removed. Depending on the geography, collection rates for aluminium building products are normally above 95%. Disposal and incineration of PVC and Polyurethane foam will provide a positive energy gain.
