| LEXTON can be easily fabricated due to working characteristics similar
to hardwood. |
| Safety |
| Workers should wear leather gloves and protective footwear when
carrying a sheet. Two workers should lift the sheets vertically and
transport the product with edges of the sheets the same level the
ground. A fork lift must be used to lift several sheets, with the
forks of the lift adjusted to fit the center or gravity of a sheet.
For reference, the weight of sheets differ depending on the type of
product. Gloves, protective footwear, dust-proof masks, eye goggles,
ear protection, and dust-collecting equipment are recommended when
fabricating LEXTON. |
| |
| Storage of sheet |
| LEXTON sheets should be stored flat with fully underlying support,
in a dry and well-ventilated indoor area. If temporarily storing on
a non-uniform floor surface, the product should be vertically lifted
and stored to prevent warpage. When storing outdoors, product surface
can be damaged by pollutants and may discolor to direct sunlight.
Since the temperature of the sheet may influence the adhesion process(reactivity
time and ability of adhesive), it is desirable to store in a temperature
range of (59-77¡ãF). |
| |
| Inspection |
| Inspect the surface for flaws, contaminants, warping, etc., before
fabrication. Use the sheets with the same lot number on the back for
multiple sheet applications. Check whether there are defects on the
surface after peeling off the surface protecting film prior to use.
Check in advance to see whether there are any foreign substances on
the sheet. To be certain products to be seamed color matched, it is
desirable to conduct testing under the same lighting conditions as
those prevailing in the actual place of installation. Do not cut or
seam material prior to complete inspection! |
| |
| Handling for adhesive |
| Store the joint adhesives between 54-59¡ãF (12-15¡ãC),
in a dark and dry indoor area. Since this product is flammable, fire-igniting
materials should be removed from the area. |
| |
| Cutting |
| Cut sheets with carbide-tipped saw and router. Below cutting saw
can be used. |
| |
- Horizontal Table Saw, Vertical Table Saw.
: Best to cut the product on both planes. Be certain of adequate infeed
and outfeed support on all table saws.
- Portable Circular Saw
: Suitable for linear rough cutting on site
- Jig Saw
: Suitable tool to rough a radius before router processing. Make sure
to wear protective glasses during use.
- Others
: There are several small saws, including hand-type saws and table-types
saws. Small saws are required for cutting on side |
| |
| Sanding |
- Belt Sander Pad, Orbital sander
: Effective for rough sanding a large horizontal surface. Can be used
for sanding all horizontal surfaces. (#100-#600 grit sandpaper)
- Profile sander
: Easy to sand and finish cutouts and radii |
| |
| Polishing |
- Orbital Polisher
: Required to finish surface. (For a high-gloss finish, apply polishing
compound) |
| |
| Caution |
| Use 6mm sheets for vertical use only. |
| |
| |
|
| Blades
: saw blades with carbide or diamond teeth are preferred. |
