MICORE® 300 Mineral Fiber Board
-
A versatile, high-performance fiber board that handles easier than gypsum panels and particle board. Used to produce fabric and vinyl-covered wall panels, office dividers, and tackboards.
MICORE® 300 Mineral Fiber Board is a superior high-performance core or substrate used for a variety of design applications, including vinyl-covered wall panels, office dividers, and similar products. It also serves as an excellent core for chalkboards and stoveboards.
The board is extremely versatile and adapts to a variety of applications, and it handles easier than gypsum panels and particle board. Its light weight — it is 50% lighter than particle board — allowing for easier handling and shipping rates, yet it does not compromise on strength. Indeed, the board offers outstanding resilience, superior machinability, high "k" factor, heavy density, and the highest surface hardness of any MICORE board.
The board outperforms gypsum panels in workability, with its organic mineral fibers that resist moisture and minimize expansion and warping.
The board cuts quickly to exacting size and shape specifications using standard equipment and adapts readily to last-minute design changes. It outperforms particle board and other wood-fiber boards for flame spread and sound absorption.
The board is available in five thicknesses: 3/8", 7/16", ½", 5/8", and ¾".
Class A flame spread ratings are tested per ASTM E84; UL classified. STC ratings are tested per ASTM E-90; NRC is tested in accordance with ASTM C423.
