STONESCREEN HAVE BEEN LEADING INNOVATION IN STONE

CLADDING TECHNOLOGY FOR TWO DECADES .

WE ARE DEDICATED TO DEVELOP PRODUCTS WELL ENGINEERED,

ECONOMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FR IENDLY.

L IGHT WE IGHT STONE COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN

ESTABL ISHED NOW OVER 40 YEARS FOR ITS BENEF ITS IN H IGH

R ISE CONSTRUCT ION.

I TS ADVANTAGES OVER TRADIT IONAL SOL ID STONE BE ING ARE

H IGH WEIGHT TO STRENGTH RAT IO. STONE COMPOSITE PANELS

STARTED US ING ALUMIN IUM HONEYCOMB AS ITS CORE MATER IAL .

OUR LATEST INNOVATION IS THE STONESCREEN AEROL ITE©

PRODUCT, WHICH USES RE INFORCED FOAM GLASS AS ITS CORE

MATER IAL THAT HAS PROVIDED FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS AND

ADVANTAGES .

WHY STONESCREEN AEROL ITE©

STONESCREEN AEROL ITE© IS OUR FLAGSHIP PRODUCT, OUR

H IGHEST PERFORMANCE L IGHTWEIGHT COMPOSITE PANEL PATEN-

TED IN EARLY 2016 AND QUICKLY BECOME THE CHOICE OF SPEC I -

F IERS . STONESCREEN AEROL ITE© ARE TH IN STONE FACED COM-

POSITE PANELS LAMINATED ONTO A GLASS MESH RE INFORCED

FOAM GLASS BACK ING THAT ARE ENGINEERED TO MAXIMIZE

LOW WEIGHT WITH H IGH STRENGTH RAT IO.

THE COMBINAT ION OF CELLULAR GLASS RE INFORCED WITH

LAYERS OF GLASS F IBRE PRODUCES A VERY H IGH STRENGTH AND

LOW WEIGHT SUBSTRATE WHICH IS FACED WITH A TH IN VENEER OF

NATURAL OR ART IF IC IAL STONE.

US ING CONSIDERABLY LESS STONE (8% OF TRADIT IONAL L IME-

STONE TH ICKNESS) , FOAM GLASS BACK ING IS MANUFACTURED

FROM WASTE GLASS AND IS 100% RECYCLEABLE .

SAFETY IN SERVICE

DAMAGE TO THE FABR IC OF BU ILD ING FACADES IS A

EVERYDAY HAZARD PART ICULARLY FOR H IGH BU ILD INGS

DUE TO BU ILD ING MOVEMENT AND IMPACT DAMAGE

(DUR ING CLEANING) . REPORTS OF CONVENT IONAL

STONE CLADDING FAILURES ARE COMMON OCCURRENCE .

STONE HAS WEAK TENS ILE STRENGTH AND FAILURE CAN

OCCUR WHEN F IX ING CONNECT IONS TO STONE PANELS

ARE STRESSED DUE TO BU ILD ING MOVEMENTS , MICRO

CRACKS WITH IN THE STONE OR POOR WORKMANSHIP . AS

A NATURAL MATER IAL STONE IS L IABLE TO DEFECTS , INCLU-

D ING MICRO CRACKS , I TS PROPERT IES CAN BE VARIABLE

PART ICULARLY OVER THE LONG TERM. THE CORE OF THE

STONESCREEN AEROL ITE© PANEL ARE MAN MADE MATE-

R IALS WITH CONSISTENT PHYS ICAL AND MECHANICAL

PROPERT IES . THE GLASS F IBRE RE INFORCEMENT LAYERS

RESULT ING IN A PANEL CRACK ING (S IMILAR CONCEPT TO

LAMINATED SAFETY GLASS) . STONESCREEN AEROL ITE©

ACCELERATED AGEING TEST

IN PONTLAB LABORATORIES WE CAN RECREATE ACCELERATED AGEING TESTS FOR PART ICULAR ENVIRON-

MENTAL CONDIT IONS AND REPRODUCE THE EFFECT OF THE ATTACK OF ATMOSPHER IC AND CHEMICAL

AGENTS , IN ORDER TO S IMULATE ACCELERATED AGING OF A MATER IAL AND/OR COMPONENT AND

ASSESS ITS DEGREE OF DEGRADATION, DURAB IL ITY AND STRENGTH. THE ACCELERATED AGEING TESTS

PROVIDE INFORMATION PART ICULARLY VALUABLE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS BOTH IN PRODUCT DES IGN AND

DEVELOPMENT, SUCH AS FOR EXAMPLE FOR THE CHOICE OF THE MOST SU ITABLE MATER IAL TO BE USED,

BOTH FOR BENCHMARK ING, AND FOR THE QUAL ITY CONTROL IN PRODUCT ION.

SUNL IGHT AND WEATHER RES ISTANCE - XENOTEST

BY MEANS OF XENOTEST WE CAN CHECK COMPONENTS AND SAMPLES ACCELERATED AGING TO L IGHT

EXPOSURE , CONTROLL ING IN THE TEST ROOM THE SOLAR RADIAT ION INTENS ITY, THE TEMPERATURE AND

HUMID ITY . WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO S IMULATE RAIN CYCLES IN PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF IRRADIAT ION, THUS

RECREAT ING THE VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDIT IONS TO ENSURE S IMILAR RESULTS TO THE ACTUAL

CONDIT IONS OF USE OF A PRODUCT .

OZONE RES ISTANCE

WITH THE OZONE RES ISTANCE TEST, WE CAN EVALUATE THE STRENGTH OF MATER IALS , MAINLY ELASTO-

MERS OR POLYMERS , TO CONT INUED EXPOSURE TO DETERMINED OZONE CONCENTRAT IONS. OUR TEST ING

MACHINE ALLOW TO RECREATE AN AGING ENVIRONMENT BY CONTROLL ING DIFFERENT PARAMETERS

SUCH AS THE TEMPERATURE , THE RELAT IVE HUMID ITY AND THE CONCENTRAT ION OF OZONE, AND THUS

S IMULATE THE EFFECTS THAT WOULD OCCUR ON A MATER IAL CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO THE EXTERNAL

ENVIRONMENT .

CYCLES IN CL IMAT IC CHAMBERS

WE CAN PERFORM TESTS TO S IMULATE THERMAL CYCL ING ON MATER IALS AND COMPONENTS , WITH TEM-

PERATURE RANGES FROM -70 ° C TO +200 ° C , CONTROLL ING THE DES IRED HUMID ITY LEVEL .

WE HAVE ROOMS WITH INTERNAL VOLUME UP TO 1 .2 M3 , WITH AB IL ITY TO INSERT LARGE OR MULT IPLE

COMPONENTS .

ACCELERATED AGEING TEST

CUSTOM TESTS

OUR EQUIPMENT ALLOWS TO IMPLEMENT SPEC IAL TESTS ON SPEC IF IC CUSTOMER NEEDS . IN FACT, THANKS

TO THE PRESENCE OF TWO EXPLOSION PROOF CL IMAT IC CHAMBERS ,

WE CAN PERFORM TESTS IN TEMPERATURE WITH PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS L IQU IDS (SUCH AS SOLVENTS ,

LUBR ICANTS , GASOL INE BLENDS , ETC . ) AND ELECTR IC DR IVES , TEST ING THE RES ISTANCE OF A MATER IAL OR

A PRODUCT TO PART ICULAR CHEMICALS .

THERMAL SHOCK RES ISTANCE

WE CAN PERFORM THERMAL SHOCK TESTS AND THERMAL CYCL ING OF SPEC IMENS AND COMPONENTS

WITH RAP ID TEMPERATURE EXCURS IONS FROM -80 °C TO +200 °C . THE THERMAL SHOCK CAUSED BY THE

SUDDEN CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE MAKES IT POSS IBLE TO ASSESS WHETHER THE BOUNDARY CONDIT IONS

WHICH THE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED HAVE CAUSED PROBLEMS COMPROMIS ING THE IR FUN-

CT IONAL ITY .

ACCELERATED AGEING TEST

CORROSION RES ISTANCE

NOXIOUS TEST WE CAN SUBMIT SAMPLES AND SPEC IMENS TO NOXIOUS TEST TO CHECK THE RES ISTANCE

TO HARMFUL GASES EXPOSURE ACCORDING TO IEC 68-2-60 AND DIN 40046-37 STANDARDS OR CUSTO-

MER SPEC IF ICAT IONS. THE TESTS ARE PERFORMED IN A CL IMAT IC CHAMBER SPEC IALLY EQUIPPED WITH A

SYSTEM FOR THE S IMULTANEOUS INTRODUCT ION OF D IFFERENT CORROSIVE GASES (H 2S , SO 2 , NOX) IN THE

TEST COMPARTMENT . SALT SPRAY TESTS WE PERFORM CORROSION RES ISTANCE TESTS ON VARIOUS TYPES

OF MATER IALS BY MEANS OF SATURATED SAL INE MIST CHAMBER WITH POSS IB I L I TY TO ADJUST TEMPERATU-

RE , HUMID ITY AND PH , TO ENSURE THE CORRECT PROCEDURE SPEC IF IED BY THE CUSTOMER. IN DETAIL , WE

ARE ABLE TO PERFORM: CORROSION TESTS WITH NEUTRAL SALT SPRAY (NSS) , ACET IC SALT SPRAY,

CUPRO-ACET IC SALT SPRAY (CASS) IN ACCORDANCE TO ISO 9227 AND ASTM B1 17 STANDARDS.

SOL ID EROSION TESTS

WE PERFORM SOL ID EROSION TESTS IN ACCORDANCE TO ASTM G76 STANDARD, TO CHECK THE RES ISTAN-

CE OF THE MATER IALS SURFACES , COAT INGS, CLADDINGS, EPOXY RES INS , WELDS , PA INTS . THE TEST SAMPLE ,

INTRODUCED INTO THE A IR JET CHAMBER , IS H IT BY A FLOW OF ABRAS IVE PART ICLES THAT AFFECT THE SUR-

FACE . SUBSEQUENTLY IS QUANT IF IED THE WE IGHT LOSS PER UNIT OF T IME THAT REPRESENTS THE DEGREE
