A versatile building board made of cement and reinforcing cellulose fibers and mineral fillers formed under high pressure specially developed for exterior cladding.  

 

[Bullet] Moisture resistant
[Bullet] Resistant to damage
[Bullet] Can be drilled, shaped and sawn
[Bullet] Chemical resistant
[Bullet] Minimum maintenance required
      

Minerit HD is used where material must meet severe climatic extremes and is resistant to damage.  Because of its smooth surface, it is perfect for high-efficiency bonding, allowing easy lamination of a wide variety of plastics, metals and other durable finishes.  Heat and sound insulation materials for interior or exterior use can be applied.  Because it is chemically inert and impervious to moisture, Minerit will neither support fungal growth nor deteriorate in contact with chemicals.  Used as exterior cladding, prefabricated units, fume hood liners, mechanical screens.
