Artic

Description
Artic tiles has the smooth, white surface, the back fleece from the glass fiber and painted side edges.
Artic is the perfect combination of good price, properties in terms of the sound absorption and modern aesthetic look. Tiles have the wide possibilities of application. They perfectly prove in the spaces, where the acoustics and look are extremely important. Light and easy in installation tiles, available in the A and E edges could be suspended in the standards system of concealed and semi-concealed grid ceilings.

Acoustics – Sound absorption
Sound absorption has been measured in accordance with ISO 354. Sound absorption data ap, aw and absorption class are calculated in accordance with ISO 11654. Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is calculated in accordance with ASTM C423.
Sound absorption : B Class
αw: 0.80 and
NRC: 0.75

Fire Performance
General:
Rockfon ceiling tiles have a core of stone wool. Stone wool is noncombustible with a melting point of more than 1000°C. 
Reaction to fire: 
Class A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1.
Fire protection: 
The fire resistant properties of stone wool ensure Rockfon ceiling tiles provide fire protection in construction. The fire protection properties of Rockfon ceilings have been tested and classified in accordance with European norm EN 13501-2 and/or national norms depending on requirements in national building codes.
Some sizes and edge details of Artic can be used with various RockLink grid systems to create a 30 minutes fire protecting ceiling in accordance with BS 476 Part 21 and Part 23. They can also be used to create a 30 minutes fire protecting membrane ceiling (integrity only) in accordance with BS 476 Part 22.

Humidity Resistance And Dimensional Stability (Flexural Tensile Strength)
Rockfon ceiling tiles are dimensionally stable even at humidity levels of up to 100% RH and can be installed at all temperatures ranging from 0ºC to 40°C.
No acclimatisation is necessary.
Artic is predominantly classified as Class 1/C/0N in accordance with EN 13964. However, certain module sizes (width above 700mm) are Class 2/C/0N.

Light Reflection
White, 85% diffuse light reflection in accordance with ISO 7724-2.

Cleaning
The surface can be vacuum cleaned with a soft brush attachment.

Hygiene
Stone wool has no nutritional value and therefore it provides no sustenance to harmful micro-organisms.

Aftercare
The tiles can be post factory treated with a re-finishing paint, e.g. a PVA water based latex paint. The paint should be applied with an airless spray in a low amount (no brushing or rolling). Rockfon advises the use of the smallest amount of paint in order to minimise reduction in sound absorption. The surface of the tiles must be clean and dry and the existing paint surface must be firmly adhered to the tile prior to refinishing.Heavily discoloured tiles should be replaced.Disclaimer: The application of refinishing paint will influence acoustic properties and fire safety performance. Rockfon takes no responsibility for these properties after treatment.

Environment
A representative selection of Rockfon products have been awarded the Indoor Climate Label and the Finnish Indoor Climate Label (M1).Artic is recyclable.
