Calcium Silicate Board
Calcium silicate boards are high-performance building materials known for their exceptional durability, fire resistance, and thermal insulation properties. Made from a mixture of fine silica, limestone, and reinforcing fibers, these boards are designed to withstand high temperatures, moisture, and mechanical stress. Widely used in construction, industrial, and commercial applications, calcium silicate boards provide a reliable and long-lasting solution for insulation, fireproofing, and structural support.
What is a Calcium Silicate Board?
Calcium silicate boards are rigid, durable boards that serve as an excellent alternative to traditional building materials like gypsum and asbestos cement sheets. They are non-combustible, making them ideal for applications where fire resistance is critical. In addition to their fireproofing qualities, calcium silicate boards offer superior thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as resistance to moisture, rot, and insects.
-
Composition: Made from a blend of fine silica, lime, and cellulose fibers, cured under high pressure and temperature to form a strong, dense board.
-
Fire Resistance: Non-combustible material with a fire rating of up to 4 hours, depending on thickness and application.
-
Applications: Used in a variety of construction and industrial applications, including partitions, ceilings, cladding, fireproofing, and insulation.
