Fiber Cement Boards
Peerless Hi-Temp fabricates products from a variety of fiber cement boards for OEM equipment builders, general contractors, architects, and end users. Let us know your specifications, including thickness and surface area, and we’ll help you choose the best board to use for your application.
NAD-11
NAD-11 is an asbestos-free cement board with excellent properties. A high density cement board reinforced with inorganic fibers, NAD-11 is suitable for applications requiring continuous operation in temperatures up to 500°C (932°F). NAD-11 is dimensionally stabile, non-combustible, chemically inert, and it retains its mechanical strength at temperature. It can be easily machined to various shapes. NAD-11 can be used in many industries in applications such as platen insulation, as thermal insulation in ovens and furnaces, and as support pads in high temperature applications.
Transite
Transite monolithic fiber cement industrial boards are used in environments up to 1000°F where high strength is the primary concern. These fiber cement boards are used in the foundry industry for flask liners, core, drying and carry plates, and induction furnace casings. Electrical applications include busbar supports, aluminum pot insulation, and electrode arm insulators. Transite 1000 and Transite HT are also used as load bearing gasketing, spacers, supports, and machined parts for OEM applications.
Minerit HD
Minerit HD is an untreated fiber cement board that allows the authentic appearance of the rough fiber-cement to stand out. In nature, Minerit HD is a building board which can be installed for facade purposes, when a natural and rough expression is desired. Minerit HD is a natural material and variations may occur in the individual boards and from board to board, adding a lively expression to your facade. Minerit HD is a high quality fiber cement building board used as both a building board as well as a part of a ventilated facade solution.
NAD-11
NAD-11 is dimensionally stabile, non-combustible, chemically inert, and it retains its mechanical strength at temperature. It can be easily machined to various shapes.
NAD-11 can be used in many industries in applications such as platen insulation, as thermal insulation in ovens and furnaces, and as support pads in high temperature applications.
