Environmental Thinking
EchoPanel® Astro 12mm is made from 100% PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) which, depending on colour contains up to 60% post-consumer content. This is recyclable.
EchoPanel® Astro 12mm demonstrates ongoing commitment to environmental performance and sustainable interiors. Its product achieves excellent environmental credentials, including Global GreenTag (GreenRate Level A), with the use of post-consumer and post-industrial waste streams and low VOC emissions. They are RED List Free and have published ingredient transparency with Declare, compliant with LEED v4.1 Building Product Disclosure and Optimisation credit requirements.
Cost/Savings
EchoPanel® Astro 12mm is a finished product therefore reduces costs in labour and materials in many applications, including workstations and wall panelling.
Non Hazardous Materials
With regards to many furniture assemblies, substrates containing formaldehyde are still being actively used. These materials emit dangerous off gasses over a period of years.
EchoPanel® only emits a total VOC emission rate of < 0.02mg/m2/hr (over 7 days).. when used as a vertical screen divider in conjunction with a formaldehyde-free desk system it is a solution to a safe working environment and will contribute towards a GECA or EcoSpecifier certified workstation.
Size/Weight Ratio
At a weight of 2400 grams per square metre (12mm thick panel), EchoPanel® Astro 12mm is about one third the weight of MDF or plasterboard in equivalent sizes. It is a face finished product, pin-able, slim and can be used as double sided or single sided panel, giving it the desirable benefits of fitting into slim-line framing systems and requiring less bulk in coping with its light weight.
Performance
• Acoustics: EchoPanel® Astro 12mm meets the acoustic demands of today’s open plan office; it has been tested to AS ISO 354-2006 and received an NRC (noise reduction co-efficient) result of 0.75 (with a 50mm air gap), 0.60 (with a 20mm air gap) and 0.45 (with no air gap). This is a better than average absorption of sound particularly useful in open and reverberating spaces evident in today’s office environments.
• Fire: EchoPanel® Astro 12mm has been tested to the Fire Test AS1530.3, ISO 9705: GROUP 1, GB8624 B1 and BS EN 13501.1: CLASSIFICATION B-S1, D0.
