DEMONSTRATING superior aesthetic qualities while containing no added formaldehyde, SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus has been introduced to the range from panel specialist, West Fraser, for use on exhibition stands, around trade shows, at hospitality events and for promotion work elsewhere. Crucially its ultra-smooth finished surface is ready to receive painting and graphics as well as print and marketing notices without jeopardising the fine detail desired for such applications.
The factory primed OSB3 boards are coated on one side, in either a neutral white or grey, and are sealed on all edges. The sealed edges protect the boards against water ingress while, before they are painted, a UV-resistant putty layer is applied; this providing further protection against the weather as well as enabling and enhancing the ultra-smooth finish.
Being knot and void free due to the very precise manufacturing process, the panels are ready to receive the marketing messages or other promotional material immediately before being taken to site — avoiding costly storage or the inconvenience of waiting for layers of primer to dry.
David Connacher, marketing manager from West Fraser, said: “SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus is in our OSB range comprising the first UK-manufactured OSB with zero-added formaldehyde, which delivers health as well as a number of other technical benefits. This makes it superior to most softwood plywood.
“It really is an easy-to-use product, a blank canvas for the marketing sectors to showcase products and services to the very highest of standards.”
SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus is CE marked and complies with the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and BBA Agrement requirements. The boards are supplied in packs of 50 to cover a total area of approximately 150 m2, with each measuring 1,220 mm wide by 2,440 mm long. Then at 18 mm thick, they are tough and durable, so can be used outdoors to withstand the harshest of British weather for advertising or to inform and direct visitors around often exposed showgrounds.
