Cement-bonded Particleboards

CETRIS^® cement-bonded particleboards combine the favourable properties of cement and wood. They are lighter than conventional cement-fibre boards, their strength and resistance against weather conditions, frost and mould ranks them higher than cement-bonded chipboards or gypsum plasterboards.

Main advantages of CETRIS^® boards

	Environmentally friendly material The cement-bonded particleboards are ecological and environmentally friendly. They do not contain any hazardous materials such as asbestos and formaldehyde and they are resistant against gasoline and oils.
	Fire resistance CETRIS® cement-bonded particleboard is fire resistant and pursuant to the European standard EN 13 501-1 falls into the je A2-s1,d0 class with respect to the response to fire – non-flammable.
	Perfect sound insulation CETRIS® boards are sound insulating (airborne sound insulation of 30–35 dB).
	Resistance against weather conditions CETRIS® cement-bonded particleboard is the best material for wet environment as well as exteriors thanks to its resistance to moisture.
	Frost resistance CETRIS® cement-bonded particleboards are frost resistant; they have been tested for 100 freezing cycles pursuant to CSN EN 1328.
	Hygiene safety CETRIS® boards are hygienically safe, emit no odour and contain no hazardous materials.
	Resistance against moulds and fungi Thanks to the resistance of CETRIS® boards against moisture the surface is resistant against mould growth.
	Resistance against insects Thanks to the cement content CETRIS® cement-bonded particleboards are absolutely resistant against insects.
	Low weight CETRIS® boards are classified as light material (a 10-mm board is only 14.0 kg/m2).
	Elasticity The module of elasticity of a CETRIS® board is greater than 4,500 N/mm2 and the bending strength of boards exceeds 9 N/mm2.
	Easily machinable CETRIS® cement-bonded particleboards may be machined with all standard wood-working machines. The boards may be drilled, cut, milled and grinded.
