Fiber Cement Board is produced from a mixture of portland cement, fine silica, special cellulose fibers and selected fillers to impart durability, toughness and moisture resistance.
Fiber cement board is then cured by an autoclaving process whereby the ingredients are reacted together under the effects of super-heated steam and high pressure. The synthetic cement silicate binder provides exceptional dimensional stability and an unrivalled resistance to movement due to effects of moisture or heat.
Fiber cement board will not rot or support fungal growth and is unaffected by sunlight or steam.
Fiber cement board does not contain any soluble ingredients or free alkali which could be dissolved by moisture or condensation and causing unsightly marks. If exposed to moisture, the board will completely recover on drying out, with no permanent loss of strength.
Fiber cement board will not degrade with time and within normal applications, the life of the product is limited only by the durability of the supporting structure and materials used in fastening.
Fiber cement board is specially designed for use in applications where impact resistance is required in a high humid environment.
Raw Materials
