Note: Biochemical colorants is a dyeing material. It may leave stain on Marmoxan® instantly.

When Marmoxan® is exposure to biochemical colorant, please remove it within a few minutes with acetone.

STORAGE:
Marmoxan® must be stored flat and fully supported with no sagging or bowing. The pallets that Marmoxan® is shipped on are ideal for
storing as long as they remain in good condition and can maintain a flat level surface. It is imperative that the panels remain as flat as
possible in order to avoid damage. Marmoxan® must be stored in a dry and well-ventilated area between 15°-30°C.
BEFORE INSTALLATION: Check for damage that may have occurred in transit. Store materials in an environmentally controlled ar ea, 24
hours before installation. Confirm that the sizes, styles/models, and colors match your order. Check all specifications to ensure that you
have the right material for the job. To ensure that seams line up and are as inconspicuous as possible, ensure that the substrate and sub-
wall are flat, plumb, and square. When installing wall cladding ensure back of panel is no more than 1.5mm from wall substrate.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS:
Belt sander, circular saw with fine tooth carbide blades, router (1-3/4” HP, 22,000 rpm), random orbital sander, electric drill with carbide or
high speed steel bits, tape measure, grease pencil, clamps, denatured alcohol, safety goggles, white paper towels, caulking gun, dust
masks, masking tape, level/straight edge, If needed: 3” clear packaging tape, scotch brite pads, 50ml hard seam adhesive disp enser or
any equipment do the job, extra hard seam mixing tips
USING TOOLS:
Sawing: Cut only on finished side (front) and use wide masking tape to protect finished surfaces from scratching or chipping.
Drilling: Drill from finished side (front) of material.
Sanding: Using recommended sanding paper (open coat or semi open -silicon-carbide or Aluminum oxide)
Always saw, drill, or sand with the material fully supported. See Figure 1. on the following page. The shipping pallet is an ideal work
surface.
ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS: Acrylic adhesive 2 component (Marmoxan Glue) -Translucent 100% Silicone Color Matched Silicone
