1.1 InTRodUCTIon

The noroc® architectural panel is a fire-rated, insulated panel designed for the construction of building envelopes. The core comprises a noncombustible, rigid stone-fiber in-sulation board made from natural basalt rock and recycled slag. The core’s natural inorganic content yields an environ-mentally friendly, fully recyclable panel. noroc® panels can also be used for interior partitions.

Noroc® panels stand out as the result of a number of innovations, including a pressure-equalized rainscreen delivering triple protection against infiltration with a factory applied butyl sealant inside the joint cavities. The heavy-duty fastening system has 12-inch-long fasteners, which spread the load over a greater area and increase wind-loading resistance. The joint configuration conceals the fasteners. The stone-fiber core delivers outstanding fire-rating properties and energy-saving performance. It is also sound-absorbent and water-repellent.

noroc® panels can be used for a variety of applications:

• Fire rated walls • Cold-storage buildings• Sports centers • Interior partitions• Sanitary requirements • Acoustical requirements • Industrial and

commercial buildings

Noroc® panels are manufactured on a continuous production line. Cutting-edge, high-precision technology makes this highly automated continuous manufacturing process possible. The face and edge profiles of both pre painted steel sheets are developed by passing the metal through a series of forming rolls. The two edges are milled into mating profiles.

The stone-fiber board is then cut in 96”-long lamella (strips) of equal width to the desired thickness required for the panel run. The cut lamellas are rotated axially, so the width becomes the panel height, and the 96” lengths are in line with the process flow. This step also positions the fibers to obtain the highest possible rigidity for the assembly.

An adhesive is applied to the inside face of the bottom steel sheet where the lamellas will fall into place. Simultaneously, we spray the top face of the stone fiber on which the upper steel sheet is applied. The assembly is then laminated and compressed in a heated oven press. After leaving the oven, the laminated product is cut and packaged according to customer order.

1.2 InTEgRATEd PREssURE-EqUALIzEd RAInsCREEn

Water infiltration can cause major problems to wall systems and shorten building life. The rainscreen concept is largely used with curtain-wall systems to control potential water infiltration. Quite some time ago, Norbec Architectural adapted this concept to Norlam® panels and, more recently, to Norex® and Noroc®

panels.

A pressure-equalized rainscreen provides a double barrier in controlling water infiltration. The first involves sealing the panel joint in the exterior overlap with a continuous bead of butyl applied at the factory. In the unlikely event that water does in-filtrate by capillary action, it cannot get beyond the equalization compartment in the joint. This cavity is open to the exterior of the building via the weep hole at the base of the panel. The pressure equalizes with that outside, which prevents water from being aspired inward, as can often result from the building’s nor-mally negative pressure. The water that would otherwise infil-trate is directly outward through the weep hole at the base of each panel, which constitutes the second line of protection.

The integrity of the building’s vapor barrier is achieved by using a second continuous bead of butyl in the interior overlap ap-plied at the factory. Even should the seal on the inner side fail the suction effect between the building’s outer and inner sides are cancelled by the pressure-equalization cavity.

1.3 noRbEC ARCHITECTURAL ExCLUsIvE fAsTEnERs

When construction involves prefabricated insulating architectural panels with superior rigidity, it is usually possible to increase girt spacing with respect to conventional sandwich walls. This yields savings in overall building costs. Maximum girt spacing, however, is not always dictated by panel deflection. Indeed, while the panels must be able to withstand the prescribed wind loads, girt spacing is often limited by the anchor points available for transferring the load to the structure without causing panel deformation at the fastening point. Since the panels have thin sheet-metal faces, adequately dis-tributing the anchoring load over the greatest panel area possible is critical in minimizing panel deformation and deflection properties. Using additional fastening points on the inner face of the panel contributes practically nothing to overall assembly rigidity.

Most manufacturers recommend using a fastener that covers barely more than the fastener itself. Norbec Architectural, however, has developed exclusive fasteners for each of its panels. Norbec fasteners are made of heavy-gauge galvanized steel with a geo-metry and length (12”) that maximizes load distribution over the panel. These fasteners make it possible to get the most out of Norex®, Norlam®, and Noroc® panels as well as maximize savings on the building’s cost.

1.5 PAnEL CoMPonEnT MATERIALs

1.5.1 Insulation

The insulation is a stone-fiber board made from basalt rock and slag. This combination results in a noncombustible product with a melting point of approximately 1177°C, which yields excellent fire-resistance properties. The insulation is water repellent yet vapor permeable. It does not promote corrosion when wet. Its dense, nondirectional fiber structure effectively reduces airflow and dissipates sound waves for a quieter environment.

It is an innovative insulation offering a world of green features for earning LEEd points across four categories. Its eco-friendly features include: •Noncombustible,withoutbuilt-inchemicalproducts•Natural,inorganicmaterialwithaminimumof40%recycled

2.1 InTRodUCTIon

Noroc® architectural panels are made of superior-quality, hot-galvanized steel. Color is provided by the Perspectra Series* paint system, that uses cutting-edge technology for the pretreatment, undercoat, and topcoat with silicone-modified polyester. This system provides 40-year film integrity for most colors. Chalk resistance and color retention are 30 years. These features apply everywhere in Canada and the continental United States. Moreover, inorganic pigments yield improved color retention and resistance to fading as a result of UV exposure.

The process begins with chemical pretreatment of the sheet steel, which enhances the bonding of the primer to the metal surface. The flexible high-adherence primer is then applied to the pretreated surface in order to yield greater corrosion resistance, especially along edges, surface grooves, and bends. The topcoat is a silicon-modified polyester paint in a color chosen specifically for the application. The concealed face of the steel is pretreated for optimal adhesion of the insulation.

Standard colors in the Perspectra Series have been developed to provide a total solar reflectance (TSR) of at least 0.25. Furthermore, whites those reflect sunlight yield TSR values of 0.65 to 0.70, which help keep the building cooler.

Paint systems other than the Perspectra Series* are available, such as polyurethane, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Before opting forany of these systems, the designer must take into account the environment and conditions to which the wall covering will be exposed. This is important because a system’s performance generally depends on the length of exposure to moisture, UV radiation, salt air, and chemicals. Furthermore, scratch and abrasion resistance might also be a concern according to the type of traffic near the covering.

The colors given in the table hereafter are standard for 26-gauge steel. Ask about the availability and the additional costs for your choice of colors and steel gauges. Contact our sales department for details about steel protection systems for your applications.* The Perspectra series is being gradually integrated into our standard line.

Listing of Architectural Panels

3.1 gEnERAL dEsCRIPTIon

The panels are designed to support dead loads, live loads, and wind loads. The load limits applied to the panels vary proportionally based on thickness as well as fastener load capacity. Panel behavior is similar to that of an I-beam, where the steel surface acts like the beam’s flanges and the insulation like its web. When the panel is loaded, the compressive and flexural forces are absorbed by the steel and stabilized by the stone fiber so as to resist buckling.

The following subsections briefly describe the laboratory testing intended for Noroc® panels. We are currently completing many of these tests. This section will be updated as soon as the results are available. Contact our sales department for more information.

3.2 PRoPERTIEs And PERfoRMAnCE TEsTIng

Laboratory tests determine the performances and usage limitations for Noroc® panels according to the provisions of Canadian (ULC) and American standards (ASTM,andAAMA)aswellastheNationalBuildingCode(2005),DivisionB,Part3, subsection 3.1.7 which defines the fire resistance rating for usage of panels with a noncombustible insulation.

3.3 AsTM E72

standard Test Methods of Conducting strength Tests of Panels for building Construction

Deflection testing is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the depressurization-chamber method in ASTM E72. This method consists in submitting panel samples to a series of uniformly distributed static loads and measuring the resultant deflection.

The loads are gradually increased until panel failure. The results make it possible to determine the maximum loads for simple and multiple spans, and for deflection limits of L/180 (wall), L/240 (roof), and L/360 (brick veneer).

The results obtained show the maximum loads based on free span and panel thickness. The load calculations in psf are carried out according to three distinct limitation criteria. The first criterion is maximum panel deflection based on its free span; the second is total maximum load without permanent deformation; and thethirdmaximumloadisoversupports.Basedontherupturemode,theloadsrecorded are limited to the ultimate load divided by 1.5 (safety factor).

The results demonstrate that the bending stiffness (EI) varies proportionally to the square of panel thickness. This demonstrates that, for the loads considered, the assembly behaves like a partially solid assembly comprised of rigid composites and that it benefits fully from the separation of the steel sheets from the neutral axis.

During the entire time of testing, the outer face of the prototype is subjected to a uniform spray of 5 US gal/sq ft/h (3.41 L/min/m2). The pressure differential is produced by an aircraft engine with a propeller measuring 13.5 ft (4.11 m) in diameter. The standard allows no water penetration to the inner face of the assembly. This is also in line with the requirements of the2005NBC,articles5.6.1.1and5.6.2.1.

3.7 AsTM E330

standard Test Method for structural Performance of Exterior Windows, Doors, Skylights, and Curtain Walls by Uniform static Air Pressure difference

The structural-performance test is carried out using positive and negative loads equal to the design pressure, which is 30 psf (1.45 kPa). The standard allows a maximum panel deflection that is the smaller of L/180 or 3/4”.

3.8 AAMA 501.5

Test Method for Thermal Cycling of Exterior walls

The thermal-cycling test involves a total of seven cycles during which the exterior temperature ranges from -22 °F (-30 °C) to 180 °F (82 °C) over a period of 8 hours. The standard allows no damage or permanent deformation that could affect the wall’s appearance or performance.

qualitative fire-Resistance Tests for Architectural Panels

The tests carried out by Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada (ULC) do not establish a panel’s overall fire resistance for a specific application. These tests evaluate the behavior of materials or assemblies under laboratory-controlled fire-exposure conditions.

standard Tests Methods for the fire-Resistance of buildings and Construction Materials

This standard deals with fire-resistance tests carried out on walls, partitions, floors, roofs, posts, beams, girders, and certain ele-ments of these construction subsets. In the case of walls, the fire resistance established with this method is a way of indicating the element’s performance to fire exposure (temperature versus time graphs). It does not determine if the element can be used after fireexposure.Sentence3.1.7.1.1)ofthe2005NationalBuildingCode requires that the fire-wall rating be verified in accordance with this standard.

3.12 CAn/ULC-s102-07, 6th EdITIon

Method of Test for surface burning Characteristics of building Materials and Assemblies

The test method, which establishes the combustion characteristics of construction materials, applies to all construction materials that, either as a result of their structural qualities or the way in which they are applied, can remain in position on their own or a sample of a thickness comparable to that recommended for use that can be supported in the furnace.

The main purpose of this test is to determine the combustion characteristics of various materials or assemblies by evaluating the flame-spread rating of a surface exposed to an experimental flame. This makes it possible to establish a baseline for comparing surface combustion characteristics of various materials in the assemblies without taking into account all of the end-use parameters that might affect surface-combustion characteristics.

Although the smoke-producing power and flame-spread rating are recorded during this test, there is not necessarily a relationship between these data.

This test method makes it possible to observe how the material performs during the exposure time. It cannot be used as a basis for deciding if they should be used after test exposure.

This method does not establish the performance levels for specific uses. It provides the means for evaluating the behavior of materials, products and assemblies when exposed to a specific flame under controlled laboratory conditions.

Test for fire spread Under Roof deck Assemblies

This test method establishes the degree to which assembly components contribute to flame spread on the interior side of roof deck assemblies.

The method also provides an estimate of the thermal degradation and carbonization of assemblies.

The standard’s acceptance criteria is based on correlated data established during large-scale testing (building measuring 30.5 m x 6 m) and testing of samples representative of real constructions in a tunnel furnace.

Acceptance criteria:

•Theprogressoftheflamemustnotexceed3000mmina10-min period.

•Theprogressoftheflamemustnotexceed4200mmina30-min period.

•Thermal degradation must not spread to all assemblycomponents located at the end of the test bench’s exhaust line. For the purposes of this standard, “thermal degradation” means any shrinking or alteration in color.

•Carbonization of metal constituents must gradually diminishwith distance from the flame test area.

Noroc-L meet all the above acceptance criterias.
