MF-MATERIALS, FINISHES

General Partitions’ Baked Enamel on Galvanized-Bonderized Steel is available in all styles for toilet partitions, showers and dressing room compartments. The economy and durability of baked enamel makes it the popular choice for new construction or remodeling. Periodic washing with a mild soap and an occasional waxing with a good automobile wax will keep the finish looking new for years.

The finish is a superior quality polyester enamel applied automatically by a hot air assisted electrostatic system, baked at 400 degrees. The exclusive use of galvanized bonderized steel gives additional protection and enhances adhesion. The finish shall meet or exceed the following:

Humidity 100% @ 100 degrees F. - 1000 hrs.
Salt Spray 20% @ 100 degrees F. - 300 hrs.
Water Soak @ 110 degrees F - 1000 hrs.
Hardness - 2 H. min.

The standard panel with Ribcore sound deadening reinforcement is offered as a standard at no extra charge. Sheet metal skins are bonded under pressure to each cell of the core with an adhesive impervious to moisture. Lighter weight, greater strength and permanently flat panels are provided through this type of construction.

Corner reinforcements are used on all steel partitions at exposed corners, mechanically fused to the edges. This feature doubles the strength of the corner and allows field repairs if and when required. It also eliminates welding and grinding of the corners which removes the protective zinc coating as well as part of the metal edge.
