ABSTRACT:
An improved multi-layered panel, sometimes referred to as a stress skin panel, has a highly insulative multi-layered core located adjacent to one skin or alternatively located between two skins bonded to or otherwise rigidly affixed to the two outside surfaces of the core. The core of the multi-layered panel has a plurality of core layers which may be of the same or of different foam plastic materials. The layers of the core located adjacent to the panel skins provide a thermal barrier for the middle or second core layer which middle layer may be of a thermoplastic such as styrofoam and also may provide the means for bonding or securely affixing the panel skins to the surface of the multi-layered core. Borate, which is typically in the form of a powder (a borate compound used has been TIM-BOR.RTM. a product manufactured by U.S. Borax Corporation), may be incorporated, or encapsulated into selected layers or all of the layers of the panel core. Borates in the form of borate compounds similar to TIM-BOR.RTM. in an amount typically between about 2 weight percent and about 10 weight percent results in a core material which deters the entry of and the infestation of ants and other insects thereby enhancing and improving the usefulness of such prefabricated building panels. The addition of the borate compound has also been found to act as a fungicide and further, the flame retardant properties of the building panel are improved. Borate may be added, if possible, into the core material of any known prefabricated construction/building panel. However, it is most advantageous and effective if the borate is added during the fabrication of the core of the panel.
