What is Fibre Cement?

Fibre cement is a simple abbreviation for Fibre Reinforced Cement (FRC). Fibre cement buildingmaterials were developed in the early 1980s, using alternative reinforcing materials to createasbestos-free cement-based building products. Fibre cement products are mixture of:. Cellulose fibre, from plantation-grown Radiata Pine treeso Portland Cement o Refined Sand . Water

Chemical additives in small amounts are used to help in process, or provide the productswith specific characteristics. The FRC autoclaving manufacturing process produces a

durable, easily worked, aesthetically pleasing product with superior impact and w'resistant inherent quality. v

PRIMA@ fibre cement boards ranging from 3.2mm to 16mm thicknesses are testedand proven products that will not burn, are resistant to permanent water and termitedamage and when installed as directed, resistant to rotting and warping.
