Partition Panel for Washdown, Food Processing Areas
Kingspan Insulated Panels, Deland, Fla., introduced the newly designed KS45FRP Partition panel for food processing and washdown environments.
The once popular application of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) has its challenges, mainly because the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) banned the use of field applied applications of FRP due to the inconsistent adhesion and voids behind the sheets, allowing moisture and microbial growth to proliferate. Kingspan addressed these issues by developing a fully factory-adhered FRP sheet to an insulated metal panel meeting the new CFIA and USDA requirements for applied finishes in a controlled environment.
