Heavy Embossed (HE40/HE40 with InnovaCELL™ Technology)

Heavy Embossed HE40 is an AWIP insulated metal wall panel for industrial and cold storage facilities, also offered as HE40 with InnovaCELL Technology. It belongs to the insulated metal panel range and is used on exterior walls of industrial and commercial facilities.

The heavy embossment adds rigidity and texture to the exterior surface and gives a patterned flat appearance. The irregular surface pattern minimizes surface blemishes and imperfections. The related AdobeTexture HE40A is a sister panel.

• Module width: 40 inches (1016 mm)
• Thickness: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 or 6 inches
• Length: 8 feet (2.44 m) minimum to 40 feet (12.19 m) maximum
• Exterior profile: heavy embossed
• Interior profile: embossed, lightly planked, Mesa rib
• Side lap: double tongue and groove

The overlapping joint is self-aligning and is available with factory or field sealant application within the panel joinery. The joinery permits vertical or horizontal installation, and the panel arrives on site in one piece.

The core is polyisocyanurate (PIR). The exterior face skin is 24 gauge G90 or AZ50 steel, with 22 gauge as an option. The HE40 interior skin is 26 gauge G90 or AZ50, with 24 and 22 gauge optional, or 26 gauge 304 2B stainless steel.

The wall is a single component with an exterior face, a weather barrier, insulation and a vapor barrier. Published global warming potential for the HE40 is 5.6 to 10.4 lb CO2eq per square foot (27.4 to 50.9 kg CO2eq per square meter).

The nominal R-value of the HE40 is 7.2 per inch at 75°F mean temperature and 8.2 per inch at 35°F mean temperature, by ASTM C518. The HE40 U-values come from ASTM C1363 tests at 2, 4 and 6 inch thicknesses.

Uniform load span data for the HE40 is in a table shared with the FL40, HE40A and MV40.

The HE40 interior is painted Imperial White, the AWIP standard interior finish. The exterior carries a heavy embossed surface in the color chosen from the AWIP exterior color chart.

Color chips are available on request. AWIP coil coat systems are multilayered and formulated for aggressive environments.
