(7) Elongation at break 150% typical ASTM D412
(8) Fungus resistance complete
(C) Fasteners for use in security vertical panels shall be recommended by manufacturer.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 Installation of Protective Padding
(A) Inspect surface(s) to receive work under this section. Notify the architect in writing if surface(s) is not satisfactory for application of materials. Commencement of work constitutes acceptance of surface.
