1 . Product Appearance MAR 22 2022
CITY OF TIGARD
EQUITONE [natura] is a through coloured base board, with semi-transp§-DING DIVISION
coloured finish which results in the structure of fibre cement material shining
through. The finished panel is both weatherproof and UV-stable. Irregularities,
differences in shade and traces of the manufacturing process are to be expected.
The rear receives a transparent back-sealing coating.
EQUITONE [natura] N164 White : Specific fibres which are characteristic for
EQUITONE [natura] N164 White are randomly distributed within the mixture which
results in a vivid surface aspect.
2. Product Composition
EQUITONE [natura] sheets consist of the following:
• Portland cement
• Minerals fillers
• Cellulose fibres
• Polyethylene fibre fillers
• Polyvinyl alcohol fibres
3. Production Method
EQUITONE [natura] sheets are manufactured on a Hatschek machine and are
compressed and air-dried. EQUITONE [natura] is finished with two semi-
transparent water-based acryl dispersions on the panel face (front) and a
polyethylene wax on the back (rear).
4. Dimensions
EQUITONE [natura] is available in 8mm and 12mm thicknesses. The panels are
available in either untrimmed or trimmed formats.
The panels that come off the production line have untrimmed (raw) edges. These
�e•'° panels are available for distributors with the proper equipment to allow them to
I* cut and trim the panel for any project.
untrimmed The factory also provides a cutting service for customers who do not have the
necessary cutting facilities. Approximately 15mm needs to be trimmed from the
untrimmed (raw) panel to ensure correct squareness.

7. Advantages
Providing the application guidelines are followed, EQUITONE fibre-cement sheets
have the following superior mix of properties compared to other materials:
• fire safe (no fire ignition, no spread of fire)
• sound insulating
• resistant to extreme temperatures and frost
• water resistant (if in compliance with application guideline)
• resistant to many living organisms (fungi, bacteria, insects, vermin, etc.)
• resistant to many chemicals
• environmentally friendly, no harmful gas emissions
• material appearance due to transparent coating
• strong, rigid panels
8. Applications
EQUITONE [natura] can be used in the following applications:
• Facade: Rear ventilated facade cladding and detailing to window and
doors
• Exterior ceiling: decorative cladding of ceiling
• Weatherboarding
• Eaves and verge boards
• Interior wall lining
9. Health and Safety Aspects
During the mechanical machining of panels, dust can be released which can
irritate the airways and eyes. Depending on the working conditions, adequate
machinery with dust extraction and/or ventilation should be foreseen. For more
information, please check the Safety Data Sheet (based on 1907/2006/EC, article
31). The reinforcement is achieved using synthetic, organic fibres of polyvinyl
alcohol. These fibres are used in a similar form in the clothing industry for
covering fabrics, for fleece materials and for medical fibres. A very important
feature is that they are physiologically not problematic.
EQUITONE [natura] is certified with an Environmental Product Declaration
according to ISO 14025 (available from local support). The life cycle assessment
includes raw material and energy production, the actual manufacturing phase, and
the use phase of the fibre cement panels.
10. Maintenance and Cleaning
For minor soiling, washing with a mild household detergent or soft soap solution
followed by rinsing with clear water.
