Cementex fiber-cement board for interior and exterior use

Cementex boards characteristics

Developed as an alternative to already existing interior and exterior boards, the Cementex fiber cement
board has exceptional strength and durability and it can be used in almost any environment.

What is Cementex board?

Cementex boards are manufactured using The Cementex boards are made of a combination
Hatscheck technology followed by autoclaving, a of cement, cellulose fiber, silica, additives and
process that provides optimal mechanical strength water.

Advantages of Cementex boards

The combination of chemical products and the manufacturing process has

led to the achievement of a board with excellent performances:

> Interior and exterior use

> Special architectural shapes, Cementex boards are included in various systems (soffits, linings, multilayered
partitions, facade frames)
> Cost optimization, given the range of available thicknesses of the boards, which can be used differently
within the same project
> Easy installation, thanks to the straight edge of the boards, in most situations, joint treatment is not
required
> Durability: product tested in accordance with EN 12467:2012+A1:2016 for freeze-thaw cycles (RL≥0.75
after 100 cycles), rain-heat (no visible defects after 50 cycles), hot water (RL≥0.7), immersion-drying
(RL≥0.75) etc.
> Mechanical resistance and point load resistance (Class 2, minimum tensile strength in humidity conditions > 7 MPa)
> Non-combustible product, class A1 for 8, 10 and 12 mm thickness, according to EN13501-1

* RL = Resistance assessed by decreasing the compressive strength of fiber cement boards by the number of freeze-thaw / hot water /
immersion-drying cycles in relation to the compressive strength of the control samples.

The 8 mm thick Cementex board gives the possibility to produce curved surfaces with a
minimum radius of curvature of 8 m on the long direction of the slab. To obtain such a
curve, the board should be well moistened, with a constant load applied on a support frame.

conditions.

Very important: For the waterproofing of the system at the bottom (system intersection with the concrete
slab or other support element) use the waterproofing membrane which will be continuously disposed on the
Cementex board and the bottom support element) and liquid waterproofing which is applied using a brush.

Cementex 8 mm
Fiber-cement board

DESCRIPTION:
Cementex is a flat fiber cement board, suitable for exterior and
interior applications.
The boards are manufactured using Hatscheck technology
followed by autoclaving, a process that provides optimal
mechanical strength and dimensional stability. The main
elements the boards are made of are: cement, organic cellulose
fibers silica, additives and water.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

▶ The boards should always be handled by two persons, and transported vertically
▶ The transport of the boards on pallets shall be made with appropriate transport means (cart, fork lift, truck ...)
▶ Maximum 4 (four) pallets should be stored in a stack
▶ When storing the boards, the loadbearing capacity of the supporting floor element shall be taken into account
▶ The boards shall be stored in pallets or stacks with spacers every 600mm. The pallets and the stacks shall be stored on dry,
smooth and horizontal surfaces. This type of storage allows ventilation and prevents deformation or tearing of the boards
▶ When stored outdoors, the boards should always be protected with a plastic film or a tarpaulin
▶ If the boards are exposed to water during the storage period, remove the protective film and allow the boards to dry
thoroughly before use.
▶ The boards should be stored in the final location (installation area) at least 24 hours before starting the installation, for
“acclimation”.
▶ The boards should be dry before applying different treatments on their surface (base coat, adhesive ...). For example, it is
not recommended to apply any coating immediately after rain
▶ The boards should be mounted in the temperature range of 5 - 40° C
▶ The long term storage for long periods in direct sun light is not recommended

SAFETY MEASURES:
▶ The 1.2 m x 2.4 m x 8 mm Cementex board weights 34 kg
▶ The above mentioned weight includes a possible 15% moisture absorption, if the boards were stored in humid places

Cementex fiber-cement board for interior and exterior use

Cementex 10 mm
Fiber-cement board

DESCRIPTION:
Cementex is a flat fiber cement board, suitable for exterior and
interior applications.
The boards are manufactured using Hatscheck technology
followed by autoclaving, a process that provides optimal
mechanical strength and dimensional stability.
The main elements the boards are made of are: cement, organic
cellulose fibers, silica, additives and water.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:

▶ The boards should always be handled by two persons, and transported vertically
▶ The transport of pallets shall be made by appropriate means of transport (cart, fork lift, truck ...)
▶ Maximum 4 (four) pallets should be stored in a stack
▶ When storing the boards, the loadbearing capacity of the supporting floor element shall be taken into account
▶ The boards shall be stored in pallets or stacks with spacers every 600mm. The pallets and the stacks will be stored on
dry, smooth and horizontal surfaces. This type of storage allows ventilation and prevents deformation or tearing of the
tiles
▶ When stored outdoors, the boards should always be protected with a plastic film or a tarpaulin If the boards are
exposed to water during the storage period, remove the protective film and allow the boards to dry thoroughly before
use
▶ The boards should be stored in the final location (installation area) at least 24 hours before starting the installation, for
“acclimation”.
▶ The boards should be dry before applying different treatments on their surface (base coat, adhesive ...). For example, it
is not recommended to apply any coating immediately after rain
▶ The boards should be mounted in the temperature range of 5 - 40° C
▶ The long term storage for long periods in direct sun light is not recommended.

SAFETY MEASURES:
▶ The 1.2 m x 2.4 m x 10 mm Cementex board weights 42 kg
▶ The above mentioned weight includes a possible 15% moisture absorption, if the boards were stored in humid places
