PRODUCT DESCRIPTION RESOPLAN® – the multifunctional board material for outdoor use with long-term protection against weathering Material description and composition RESOPLAN® belongs to the group of compact laminates for outdoor use as defined by DIN EN 438 Part 6 (Classification and specification of compact laminates for outdoor use), i.e. where they are exposed to the effects of sunlight, rain and frost. Protection against light and weather is assured by a suitable outer layer (coating) applied to both sides of the exterior. RESOPLAN® boards more than 5 mm thick display exceptional dimensional stability and are therefore self-supporting. The material owes its high rigidity to the high modulus of elasticity. RESOPLAN® is available in either building material classes B2 and B1 as per DIN 4102-1 or in European classes D and B as per EN 13501-1. Resistance of RESOPLAN® to airborne chemical stresses Air and rain contain natural and manmade additives, such as: • Carbon dioxide CO2: households, industry, motor vehicles • Sulphur dioxide SO2: households, industry • Nitrous gases e.g. NO2: industry • Hydrogen chloride HCl: industry, waste incineration RESOPLAN® therefore affords protection against the weather and is largely resistant to acid rain. This has been demonstrated in a 16-hour test with 10% hydrochloric acid which did not produce any visible changes in the RESOPLAN® material. Structure of RESOPLAN® A B C Protection against weathering Decor Dark solid core Environmental aspects ➔ RESOPLAN® effortlessly meets the highest demands; its longevity is the best and most efficient protection for the environment. ➔ RESOPLAN® produces few emissions and does not contain any VOCs. ➔ RESOPLAN® is environment-friendly during production, use and in final disposal. ➔ The environment and energy management system in accordance with ISO 14001/ISO 50001 ensures that: • environment aspects are taken into account even as the product is being developed • the energy required for the production process is minimized • water is used efficiently • waste is avoided and/or recycled • emissions are eliminated without harming the environment. ➔ RESOPLAN® contains roughly 65% paper (cellulose), which is made from wood, a regrowing raw material. In addition, it contains eco-friendly colour pigments and thermoset resins. ➔ RESOPLAN® is sustainable. The core paper is recycled, FSC- and/or PEFC-certified - not made from tropical wood! ➔ RESOPLAN® is not a hazardous substance within the meaning of the regulation on hazardous substances. ➔ It is not subject to any special requirements restricting machining. ➔ Even with barely flammable finish, RESOPLAN® does not contain any harmful halogens. ➔ RESOPLAN® is resistant to pests and mould. ➔ RESOPLAN® is easily cleaned with minimum use of cleaning agents. ➔ It is thermally recycled at the end of its useful life, thus helping to recover energy. Disposal ➔ RESOPLAN® is not dangerous; it is therefore not classified as special waste. ➔ RESOPLAN® waste is not subject to monitoring within the meaning of the German law on recycling materials for use as secondary raw materials (KrWG). ➔ RESOPLAN® is thermally recycled at the end of its useful life, thus helping to recover energy. ➔ Due to the high energy content (18-20 MJ/kg), waste from cutting must be thermally recycled in accordance with the law and may be incinerated in suitable systems, particularly as this does not lead to the production of harmful combustion products. According to §8 of the KrWG regulation, recycling as a secondary source of energy is equivalent to recycling as a secondary raw material if the waste has a calorific value of at least 11 MJ/kg. 04 | 05 02. VENTILATED CURTAIN WALL FACADES RESOPLAN® – the multifunctional board material for outdoor use with long-term protection against weathering All RESOPLAN® facade claddings are ventilated as a matter of principle. This ventilation must be suitably dimensioned in accordance with the regulations. Ventilated area: Height of building All heights Ventilation: Height of cladding All heights Ventilation space ≥ 20 mm Condensation is discharged through the ventilation. Ventilation area ≥ 50 cm2/m in accordance with DIN 18516 Care must be taken to ensure openings for ventilation at the upper and lower edges of the curtain wall, as well as around doors and windows. Details must be agreed in collaboration with the structural engineer and facade contractor. In addition to colours and decors, structural attachment of the RESOPLAN® panels also creates new options for cladding the facade. Almost boundless attention can now be paid to the details, as joints, enclosures for supports or pillars, visible and concealed attachments and plinth panelling make it possible to realize individual design ideas. Buildings can even be corrected. A distinction is essentially made between the following types of attachment: Visible attachment ➔ with screws on wooden substructures ➔ with rivets on aluminium substructures Concealed attachment ➔ with adhesives ➔ with staple and anchor Contact the manufacturer of the applicable substructure if you require more detailed information. The commonest types of attachment are presented in detail on the following pages. For all types of attachment, an official construction permit must be obtained and proof of stability presented for all buildings with a height of more than 8 m. Resopal GmbH holds the oldest official construction permit for HPL boards for outdoor use. The permit was granted in 1983 and has remained in force ever since without any noteworthy changes. Invitations to tender for ventilated curtain wall facades and repair of balconies Model invitations to tender have been prepared with the assistance of the FVHF (ventilated curtain wall facade association) to eliminate possible planning errors due to inadequate tender documents and simplify the procedure when inviting tenders for such facades and for repairing balconies. The invitations to tender for ventilated curtain wall facades and the repair of balconies, and the loggia descriptions, have been prepared on the basis of the principles for preparing work specifications pursuant to the German construction contract procedures VOB/A. They contain standard wording for the specification of frequently recurring technical aspects. Specifications in compliance with the "General technical specifications in construction contracts (ATV)" must be drawn up and freely worded for all other, more farreaching aspects. ADVANTAGES OF VENTILATED CURTAIN WALL FACADES RESOPLAN® – the multifunctional board material for outdoor use with long-term protection against weathering 1. The basic structure of a second sealing level with ventilated space has proved its value for centuries. 9. The surfaces, corners and edges of RESOPLAN® facades are optimally protected against high shock and impact stresses. 2. The optimum function of a ventilated exterior curtain wall is based on nature such as the protective wall of leaves in front of a ventilation space to keep out the rain. 10. The thermal insulation can be variously used in accordance with both the latest regulation on thermal protection and the extended conditions specific to the property. Thermal insulation is not required purely as protection against the weather. 3. As a rule, the load-bearing outer wall does not require any special pretreatment. Plastering is not necessary. 11. Dry materials under a ventilated facade cladding ensure calculable values for determination of the dew point and thickness of the insulation. Particularly advantageous calculated values are obtained by the second heat transmission resistance. 4. Each weather board reacts to climate and moisture by changing dimensions. Technically correct construction ensures that these are absorbed by the weather board and not transferred to the outer wall. 12. Repainting - with all the familiar problems of moisture migrating from the inside outwards - is not required on a ventilated facade cladding with fully finished weather boards. 5. Building materials react differently and sometimes even contradictorily to high or low temperatures and moisture. These reactions can be overcome without difficulty by installing ventilated cladding, particularly in conjunction with renovations. 13. Unlike the case with plastered exteriors, graffiti can also be removed from RESOPLAN® facades. 6. Even considerable structural tolerances can be overcome reliably with the aid of ventilated facade claddings, e.g. when refurbishing structures built using large slabs. 14. Ventilated curtain wall facades can be replaced at any point with identical colours. In addition, they offer optimum opportunities for attachment, e.g. for hooks or flowerpot holders. 7. Both the material and the component comply with regulatory fire protection requirements in accordance with the stipulated construction heights. 15. Carefully planned arrangements create optimum design possibilities based on arrangement, colour and construction. Corrections can even be made to the building in this way. 8. Equalization of moisture and insulation are assured in summer and winter, even when building conditions are unfavourable. 06 | 07 03.

HANDLING/CARE of the RESOPLAN® boards Transport ➔ fully supported and flat ➔ on a sufficiently large and level pallet ➔ secured to prevent slipping ➔ protected against soiling, moisture and mechanical damage ➔ Pallets must lifted vertically, not pushed or pulled over the edges when loading and unloading The RESOPLAN® boards must be secured to sufficiently large, level and robust pallets so that they cannot slip during transport. The boards must be lifted off vertically to prevent damaging the surface when loading and unloading. On the lorry, the boards must be protected against moisture and soiling. RESOPLAN® boards are not hazardous goods within the meaning of transport regulations; special marking is therefore not required. Storage ➔ fully supported and flat ➔ on a sufficiently large and level pallet ➔ in closed spaces under normal climate conditions ➔ protected against soiling, moisture and mechanical damage ➔ Stacked pallets must always be covered and weighed down ➔ Stacked pallets must not be tightly wrapped in plastic sheeting - avoid formation of condensation The RESOPLAN® facade panels must be stored on a level, horizontal surface supporting their full area, in a closed space under normal climate conditions. They must be protected against soiling, moisture and mechanical damage. There must not be any impurities between the boards. When covering stacked RESOPLAN® pallets with plastic sheeting, for instance, care must be taken to prevent the formation of condensation. Handling ➔ Pallets must lifted vertically, not pushed or pulled ➔ Surface protected to prevent soiling Boards must always be lifted off vertically, not pulled. When processing the boards, care must be taken to ensure that the surface is absolutely clean, otherwise it may be damaged. Care and cleaning RESOPLAN® boards do not require any special care. Minor soiling can easily be removed with clear lukewarm water. More extensive soiling can be removed with soap or detergent solution. ➔ Always use non-abrasive household cleaning agents diluted in water ➔ Use a fine, clean cloth or sponge ➔ Always rinse with clear fresh water to prevent smears forming. The following cleaning agents must never be used ➔ abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. abrasive powder or emulsion) ➔ solvents and solvent-based cleaning agents (e.g acetone, naphtha, thinner, etc.) ➔ abrasive cleaning cloths or sponges (e.g. microfibre cloths, abrasive sponge, steel wool, etc.) ➔ high-pressure cleaners and steam jet cleaners Removal of graffiti The cleaning agent "MBE Anti Graffiti Spray" supplied by MBE GmbH is recommended to remove any sprayed graffiti on the RESOPLAN® facade. The RESOPLAN® surface can be cleaned effortlessly without damaging the panel when using this cleaning agent. It must subsequently be cleaned with soapy water and finally rinsed with clear fresh water. The processing instructions for the Anti Graffiti Spray must also be observed (available from the manufacturer). It is always advisable to test-clean a small patch of the area affected. The rest of the surface should not be cleaned until the efficacy and compatibility of the cleaning agent have been tested. 08 | 09 05. GENERAL PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS for the RESOPLAN® boards Machining the RESOPLAN® boards RESOPLAN® is supplied as a cut-to-size board trimmed on all sides. Special squared blanks cut to size from the aforementioned formats are available from the factory. Since RESOPLAN® is easily machined with wood-working machines, fitted elements and drilled holes can be produced cost-efficiently both in a workshop and on the building site. Please note that, depending on the incident light, RESOPLAN® boards with plain decors may appear to look different on the facade / balcony. This should be taken into account in the planning and when cutting to size. Cutting For all sawing and cutting work, it is important to ensure that the inner corners of cut-outs and internal recesses are rounded. Saws + saw blades Carbide-tipped saw blades are used for cutting to size. Tooth spacing 10 to 15 mm, cutting speed 40 to 100 m/s, see table. Cost-effective results for producing a clean cut on both sides are obtained when using a marking saw. When using circular saw blades, the quality of the cut can be influenced by adjusting the angle of emergence (height adjustment). Contour cuts Contours can be cut with the aid of a compass saw. In this case, the RESOPLAN® board must be placed with the decor side facing down on a clean surface (possibly covered with protective felt). Particularly clean unchipped edges are obtained by using a manual or tablemounted routing machine. Drilling HSS bits are used to drill holes. Step drills are particularly advantageous on metal substructures. Note the diameter of the holes drilled in RESOPLAN® for the fixed point and sliding point. Planing Fitted boards can also be machined on site using an electric handheld planing machine (with carbide blade). Milling-cutting An unchipped edge can easily be produced by milling-cutting with wood-working machines when using carbide-tipped tools.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES for RESOPLAN® Basic principles for installing RESOPLAN® Like every other material, RESOPLAN® is subject to the laws of physics. Depending on climatic effects, the material may undergo dimensional changes, but these should not cause any impairment if the processing and installation instructions are observed. Details regarding the execution are specified on the basis of the applicable construction law taking into account the position, height, type and use of the building, as well as the application (facade, balcony, detail). Regulations on fire protection and stability must be observed without fail, especially in the case of buildings over 8 m high. As a rule, the required spacing between attachments is defined by the structural engineer for the building concerned. Factors to be taken into account include the live loads according to DIN 1055, the permissible forces stipulated in the permits and, in the case of balconies, the data of the ETB test certificates. Depending on the agreement reached between customer and installation contractor, relevant standards and company regulations, such as those of the company supplying the substructure or mounting hardware, must also be observed. Installation aids Adequate freedom of movement must be ensured, as the mounting hardware is centred. A suitable drilling gauge can be used as an aid here. When securing the boards with rivets, a one-hand spring-loaded drilling gauge ensures that the drilling pattern is safely applied from the facade panels to the aluminium substructure. Step drills are more advantageous on metal substructures, as they make it possible to drill holes in the substructure and panel simultaneously.

VISIBLE ATTACHMENT with rivets on an aluminium substructure Thermal bridging on metal substructures Conventional metal substructures create local thermal bridges on the facade, with the result that the insulation must be made thicker so that the facade can achieve the required U-value. For structural reasons, the spacing between attachment points on the substructure must be reduced at the edge and corners of facades. These additional thermal bridges make it necessary to adjust the thickness of the insulation accordingly in these areas. If this is not done, homogeneous and uniform insulation of the facade will be impossible, resulting in areas with very different U-values within one and the same facade. To take account of this situation, some manufacturers of substructures also supply systems which are characterized by exceedingly low local thermal bridging effects. These systems have a wall bracket of glass fibre-reinforced polymer material. They permit homogeneous insulation of the complete facade and a major reduction in the thickness of the required insulation. This can have economic and in some cases also optical advantages. Further information on systems with exceedingly low thermal bridging effects can be obtained from the respective manufacturers of the substructure systems.

Please contact the manufacturer of the compound elements for your individual solution. Balcony cladding, NL-Rotterdam 15. BALCONIES with RESOPLAN® RESOPLAN® is an ideal panel material for cladding balconies, loggias, covered walks, verandas and open galleries. It can also be used without difficulty as a screen and wind break in compliance with the following regulations and design principles: ➔ Protection against falling ➔ Construction law, state construction codes ➔ Regulations governing calculation ➔ Design principles ➔ Proof of stability ➔ Official construction permits ➔ Engineering design instructions ➔ Mounting hardware ➔ Fire protection Balcony panelling; G & S die Balkonbauer, D-Ahlen 15. BALCONIES with RESOPLAN® Hotel Ratschingserhof/Ahrntaler facade balconies Protection against falling Balcony railings and panelled protective surrounds serve to prevent people falling from a height. As a rule, such protection against falling is required for heights of more than 1 m. State construction codes contain divergent regulations which must also be observed. Their job is to secure the enclosed area or part-area so that people and objects acting on these components are not jeopardized by premature failure. In accordance with the ETB guideline "Components affording protection against falling", theoretical proofs may be replaced by tests. For the tests determining the load at rupture, a distinction is made between the soft impact as a bending test with static load (a1), the soft impact as pendulum impact test (a2) and the hard impact as collision test with a hard mass and high impact velocity (b). The component or parapet cladding is deemed to afford protection against falling as per § 3.2.1 of the ETB regulation if: ➔ the stability of the components is maintained, ➔ the component is not torn out of its anchorage, ➔ fragments cannot fall and injure people below, and ➔ the panel is not pierced by the specified loads. The suitability of RESOPLAN® as a cladding for balcony panellings has been demonstrated in various ETB tests. Construction law Protective surrounds The basic conditions for protective surrounds, such as parapet heights, horizontal and vertical spacings, are specified in the respective state construction codes. These must be taken into account in each case. Different requirements apply for private, public and commercial areas and must be observed accordingly. If necessary, more stringent requirements must be derived from the ordinance on workplaces. 46 | 47 15.

RAILINGS with RESOPLAN® General In the case of balcony railings, a distinction is made between type-tested railings and individual railings with structural analysis for the specific property. The advantage of a type-tested design over an individual design is that the type analysis applies nationwide, regardless of the property concerned. Balcony railings are made of steel, stainless steel or aluminium profiles which are either welded or connected to one another by means of corresponding mouldings using rivets or screws. The same regulations, standards and guidelines apply for all versions. In addition, balcony railings are distinguished according to the means by which they are secured to the structure: ➔ with false bearing ➔ with foot placed underneath ➔ with foot placed on top ➔ with foot at face end Balcony railing system with false bearing As a rule, railing systems with false bearing comprise an upper and lower load-bearing horizontal profile freely held between two reinforced concrete walls to which they are secured by means of wall brackets. The base in which they are anchored must be sufficiently strong. Such railing systems are mainly used in loggias 3 to 6 m long which are primarily found on buildings made from prefabricated reinforced concrete slabs. A vertical support is useful for very long railings. Balcony railing systems with foot placed underneath In such systems, the foot of the railing is secured to the reinforced concrete slab from below.

RAILINGS with RESOPLAN® Balcony railing systems with foot placed on top For the balcony railing shown here, the foot of the railing is secured to the top of the reinforced concrete slab. This is frequently encountered on rooftop verandas on which attachment from the face or underside is not possible on account of prevailing conditions. Balcony railing systems with foot at face end In this case, the foot of the railing is anchored in the balcony slab from the front. Anchorage in the balcony slab is difficult, as an appropriate distance from the edge must be maintained. Retroactive attachment from the front can normally only be realized with two dowels fitted side by side in balcony slabs with a "standard" thickness of 12 to 18cm. In new buildings, the foot of the railing can be secured to fitted elements (such as steel plates with cap screws, threaded sleeves embedded in the concrete, etc.) integrated into the face end of the balcony slab.

SCREENS with RESOPLAN® General Screens made from RESOPLAN® are used to shield individual areas of particularly long balcony systems and covered walkways. They are increasingly being used to ensure privacy, especially in residential buildings occupied by several households, apartment blocks, hospitals and hotels. As a rule, the screens are positioned perpendicular to the outer wall of the building and secured in various ways, just like normal claddings. Depending on the selected design, they range from the surface of the balcony slab to the underside of the floor on the next storey. As with the parapet claddings, a distinction is made between the following types of attachment: ➔ Attachment to continuous profiles ➔ Attachment to cover plates ➔ Attachment via edging strips Special features In addition to the aforementioned screens shielding individual parts of balconies, others in the form of screens or wind breaks can also be used to create a side wall on balconies. Since these side panels not only act as a wind break and screen, but also serve to prevent people falling, they can only be installed in combination with the railing used and the statically proved substructure. These panels must therefore be integrated into the structural analysis of the balcony railing. Screens on continuous profiles without serving to prevent people falling The substructure of hollow profiles must be realized in accordance with the structural analysis and anchored in the reinforced concrete slabs with correspondingly approved dowels or other fitted parts. The profiles must act as linear supports bearing the structural load in this case. The screens are secured with the same mounting hardware as the parapet panels. For distances between attachment points, refer to p. 52/53 Attachment to continuous profiles ➔ L: Variable, depending on height between floors ➔ R: Free overhangs of the screen for t = 6 mm: R ≤ 100 mm for t = 8 mm: R ≤ 150 mm for t = 10 mm: R ≤ 200 mm ➔ F: Clearance between screen and surface of the balcony. F can be selected as desired for screens which do not serve to prevent people falling. Refer to the section on construction law, p. 46/47, for screens which serve to prevent people falling.

MOTIV IN RESOPLAN® The individual architectural board Design options with RESOPLAN® Individual perspectives for facades are opened up by MOTIV IN RESOPLAN®. Your design ideas can be implemented with the aid of the latest silk screen and digital printing techniques or by traditional methods (e.g. inlays). ➔ We will be pleased to advise you. Digital and screen printing Screen and digital printing bring flexibility und inexhaustible diversity into facade design. We print your high-resolution and ready-to-print data with light and heat resistant ink on a special paper and press them into RESOPLAN®. Each board a unique surface Drawings and paintings in UV-resistant colours on our special paper are permanently protected in RESOPLAN® and can therefore even be used as facade panels. The glass-clear melamine resin layer of the overlay offers permanent protection of the original against external influences. For use on the facade it is provided with a special UV weather protection. Inlay work Specially developed inlay techniques enable us to seamlessly combine decors from the RESOPAL® >2018 collection in one board. By means of templates, we produce inlays according to your requirements. ➔ Detailed information on MOTIV IN RESOPLAN® is available on request.

RESOPLAN® FIRE PROTECTION RESOPLAN® Fire behaviour Preventive fire protection on the facade of buildings As the inventor of high-pressure laminate HPL, Resopal has devoted attention to the subject of "preventive fire precaution" from the very beginning. This applies above all for the weatherproof RESOPLAN® panel for outdoor use. The basis for external wall cladding applications is defined in the respective state construction codes and in such guidelines as those governing the "Use of flammable materials in buildings". B2 materials, with normal flammability according to DIN 4102, can therefore be used up to a building height of 8 m and B1 materials on high-rise buildings up to 22 m high (refer to the state construction codes). RESOPLAN® is classified as B2, normal flammability, in accordance with DIN 4102, Part 4, without further proof. The RESOPLAN®-F fire protection panel is officially approved (permit No. Z33.2- 11) and classified as a B1 building material (burns with difficulty). Provided that the fire department responsible for structural fire prevention has no objections in respect of fire protection, applications may be filed with the supreme construction authority for an extension of the application areas. Example: Balcony cladding with RESOPLAN®-F Large-scale fire tests on RESOPLAN® balcony claddings by the Leipzig Institute for Materials Research and Testing (MFPA) have shown that RESOPLAN®-F can be used on buildings up to a height of 35 m. No ageing processes The RESOPLAN®-F fire protection panel was specially developed for outdoor use. Although the product is permanently exposed to the weather, its fireproof finish is still fully functional several years later. In RESOPLAN®-F, the flame-retardant additives are integrated into the panel make-up. This was officially confirmed when tests were repeated after years' exposure to the weather. RESOPLAN® contains fire retarding agents which do not liberate any harmful halogens in the event of fire. International certificates Resopal attaches great importance to preventive fire protection in buildings. This commitment is documented by approvals, test certificates and test reports. Certificates for use of the fire resisting panel RESOPLAN®-F in buildings have been issued in the following countries: ➔ Germany ➔ France ➔ Ukraine ➔ Hungary ➔ Netherlands ➔ Russia Fire protection in Europe In Europe, laminate boards destined for use in construction are tested according to EN 13823 (SBI test, thermal stress due to a single burning item) and according to EN ISO 11925-2 (testing with a small burner - single-flame source test). The observed fire behaviour is stated in accordance with EN 13501-1. The RESOPLAN®-F fire resisting panel as classed as barely flammable according to EN 13501-1, European class B-s2, d0 (certificate of conformity 0766-CPR-277). 19. RESOPLAN® FIRE PROTECTION RESOPLAN® Bulkheads/fire barriers Special fire stopping systems, such as coated, horizontally running, stainless steel sheets, are used in Europe for ventilated facades on tall buildings to prevent fire spreading in the space provided for ventilation. In Germany, instructions for installing so-called "fire barriers" (special technical precautions to prevent fire in ventilated exterior wall claddings with cavities extending over several floors or which continue beyond fire break walls) have been published in the Sample List of Technical Building Regulations (MLTB) by the German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt), edition dated September 2012, Annex 2.6/4. The MLTB distinguish between horizontal and vertical fire barriers. Horizontal fire barrier: "(...) On every second floor, horizontal fire barriers are required in the space provided for ventilation. The fire barriers must be installed between the wall and the cladding. If heat insulation is applied externally, installation between insulating material and cladding will suffice if the insulating material remains dimensionally stable in fire and has a melting point > 1,000 °C. (…)" ➔ In the arrangement shown here, the fire barriers are located above the windows on each alternate floor. They may also be arranged below the windows. Fire barrier Fire barrier Fire barrier Vertical fire barriers: "(...) The space provided for ventilation must not continue beyond the fire break wall. The space provided for ventilation must be filled with an insulating material which is at least as thick as the fire break wall, remains dimensionally stable in fire and has a melting point > 1,000 °C. (…)" Further information on the execution and arrangement of fire barriers, as well as exceptions (cases in which horizontal fire barriers are not required) can be found in the aforementioned "Sample List of Technical Building Regulations" (MLTB). 62 | 63 20.
