National Gypsum ®ThermalCORE TMPanelWall panel with latent heat storage capacityDescriptionNational Gypsum’s 1/2"ThermalCORE Panel containsMicronal ® *phase change material(PCM) produced by BASF. Micronalis a microencapsulated, highpurityparaffin wax. This materialchanges phase from solid to liquidwhen it reaches 73˚ F, absorbingthermal energy to help moderatea room’s temperature. When temperaturesfall, the wax solidifiesand releases heat. This alternatingprocess of melting and solidifyingallows ThermalCORE to absorbdaytime temperature peaks, ideallyproviding a more consistent roomtemperature.ThermalCORE is faced with a fiberglassmat and is manufactured withan enhanced mold resistant core.For ease of installation, ThermalCOREcomes standard with GridMarX ®guide marks printed on the surface.These guide marks align with standardbuilding dimensions and helpto quickly identify fastener lines forstud and joint framing. The panelsrequire a skim coat and will acceptdecoration similar to standardgypsum board.* Micronal ® is a registered trademarkof BASF.Features/Benefits Provides added thermal massnot typically found in traditionallightweight construction. Moderates indoor climateand provides a more consistenttemperature. Potential for greater energyefficiency through latent heatstorage. Phase change material iscontained within virtuallyindestructible microscopic acryliccapsules which will not leak. BASF has subjected Micronalto 10,000 cycles to verifydurability. Fiberglass facer and treatedcore provides extra protectionagainst mold growth per ASTMD 3273, achieving a score of10, the best possible score. Handles and installs like regulargypsum board.Technical DataFiberglass MatScanning Electron MicrographEnhancedMold ResistantGypsum CoreFiberglass MatMicronal ®PHYSICAL PROPERTIESNominal Thickness 1/2"Standard Width 4'Standard Length 8'Nominal weight (lbs./sf) 2.1EdgesTaperedSurface Burning CharacteristicsClass BCombustibility (per ASTM C 136)CombustibleMold Resistance (per ASTM D 3273) 10Latent Heat (BTU/sf)22 (Approx.)Gypsum CrystalsHow Phase Change Materials Moderate Room TemperaturesDayTemperatureNightwww.thermalcore.infoTime/days 1 2 3 4WithoutMicronal ® PCMWithMicronal ® PCMComfort zoneCorporate HeadquartersNational Gypsum Company2001 Rexford RoadCharlotte, NC 28211Phone: (704) 365-7300Web: nationalgypsum.comnationalgypsum.com/espanolTechnical InformationPhone: (800) NATIONAL(800) 628-4662Fax: (800) FAX-NGC1(800) 329-6421111109 11/09
