Impact resistance

The impact resistance of NEXTREMA® depends on the kind of installation, size, thickness and geometry of the panel, type of impact and especially on drilled holes and their position in the material. Therefore, information regarding impact resistance can only be given with knowledge of the respective and defined application (especially in combination with the technical standards regarding impact resistance that have to be met for some applications). The quality of the grinding profile has an important influence according to the impact resistance.
