5. Application and Handling
The broadly diversified areas of usage of Heradesign
products are not an end in itself. The central idea is
the tangible use, which these highly-effective acoustic
ceiling and wall solutions offer, each according to the
structural and technical demands of the plan.
Precise handling guidelines as well as detailed
recommendations for transport and storage give your
HefadeSign. product selection optimal security.5.01 Application and Handling

Acoustic Panels
Medium, Area of Attack Behaviour
1) Water and water vapour | Not resistant to direct, long-term effects of water (rain, condensation, moisture from soll, capil
action). This results in the panels swelling as well as reduced mechanical stability and efflorescence of
‘magnesium sulphate. Likewise, permanent exposure to water vapour (rel. air humidity > 90%) leads to
‘swelling and a reduction of mechanical stability.
2) Organic solvents* ‘Contact with organic solvents in a liquid form (local exposures or spots) causes them to be party
(e.g, acetone, alcohol, ether, absorbed by the panel and released as vapour. No adverse effects to the mechanical stability of the

the workplace, have no effect on the building biological properties of the magnesite bound Heradesign
acoustic panels according to findings so far.
SV Acids and alkalis 'a) Acids: ‘Magnesite bound Heradesign acoustic panels are not resistant to the direct effects of acids
Depending on the concentration and strength of the acid, direct contact to an acid wil
‘cause localised dissolving of the bonding agent in the panel. Generally, harmiess salts are
formed (party with a violent reaction). In some cases acid vapours occur, which are within
the workplace hygienic regulations (e.g. common in chemical laboratories or similar facii-
ties), and which do not damage the products.
) Alkalis: The effect of alkalis on the panels causes the bonding agent to soften and Is comparable
to the effects of water,
W Paint ‘The surface of magnesite bound Heradesign acoustic panels can be Weated with commercial pant
based on polyvinyl acetate, or acrylics, silicates, distempers, etc. The type of paint that is already on
the surface must be taken into consideration.
