Kronoply OSB/3 - Kronoply OSB/3 acc. to EN 13986 and EN300

Kronoply OSB/3 is a panel made from pine strips of veneer (strands) that are 120 mm long, laid in 3 layers crosswise. This guarantees a very high dimensional stability and high mechanical properties. The values for the Kronoply OSB/3 panel lie far below the requirements made in the E1-Guidelines for formaldehyde emission.

The pine strips are pressed into panels using high temperatures and high pressure. The Conti Finish panel surface gives the Kronoply OSB/3 water resistant and diffusion resistant properties. As this panel is a diffusion retarding material, when it is used as inner panelling for the external walls in timber frame construction a vapour sealing film is not necessary. In comparison with chipboard the Kronoply OSB/3 panel has considerably better mechanical properties and makes lower panel thicknesses possible.

A 22 mm Kronoply OSB/3 panel is adequate there where e.g. a 30 mm thick chipboard panel would be needed. This results in savings in material and weight of the construction, which are of benefit to fabrication and transport. Furthermore a thinner panel provides additional space for living area or heat insulation.

The Kronoply OSB/3 panel can be used everywhere where high requirements are placed on statics and physics relating to construction. The CE certification for panel thicknesses from 8 - 25 mm means that Kronoply OSB/3 panels can be used for reinforcing internal and external walls as well as ceilings or roofs. Clips, nails or screws can be used as fasteners.

The panels are machined using the usual equipment designed for woodworking e.g. handheld circular saw. The use of carbide tipped tools is recommended. Storey height formats avoid horizontal joints and contribute to the building impermeability. Panel formats co-ordinated to the manufacturing grid of 62.5 cm make for efficient working.

Kronoply OSB/3 panels are uniform in Conti Finish and ground surface as well with tongue and groove on 4 sides e.g. for use as flooring panels. Kronoply OSB/3 panels can also be used in other areas such as the packaging industry or for shelves, furniture, doors etc. as well as in the construction industry.
