FIBRE PROPERTIES
In accordance with AS1530 Part 4 MAK-Styrocon® has the following fire resistance levels when used as a non load bearing wall system:
- 50mm panel – 1 hour
- 75mm panel – 2 hours
- 100mm panel – 3 hours
In terms of Building Code of Australia (AS1530 Part 1] MAK-Styrocon is deemed to be non-combustible.
FIRE HAZARD PROPERTIES
(AS1530 Part 31 for MAK-Styrocon® are:
- Ignition Index 0
- Flame Evolved Index 0
- Heat Evolved Index 0
- Smoke Development Index 0
- Where 0 is the best possible result.

EPS BEAD
Combustion of EPS in the panel core does not pose a toxicity problem. The CSIRO Division of Building Research states that for foamed polystyrene the potential toxic hazard appears to be no greater than that for wood.
INSTALLATION
MAK-Styrocon® panels are erected using light gauge steel framing at wall base and head. A variety of installation options are available incorporating channel, angle or totally concealed framing systems. MAK-Styrocon® panels slip together using a tongue and groove jointing system and may be flush set or butt jointed according to project requirements.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
MAK-Styrocon® exceeds the Building Code of Australia structural tests for lightweight construction.
MAK-Styrocon® is suitable for the application of a wide variety of surface finishes, including paints and aggregates.
The fibre cement facings are immune lo permanent water damage making MAK-Styrocon® suitable for use in wet area applications.
