Caneite

Caneite Softboard is soft, resilient, light coloured sheet material10 to 25 mm thick, manufactured from bagasse (sugar-cane)fibres. Caneite Softboards can be grooved or drilled to improve theirsound absorbing capabilities and then used as acoustic boards.They are used for ceilings and wall linings particularly wherereflected sound is to be reduced.

 

Benefits

Durability:Caneite Softboard has good durability. It will be damaged ifsubjected to high impact loads. Thermal insulation value isreduced if the board gets wet.

 

Fire Resistance: The contribution to the fire resistance of astructure is proportional to the thickness of the board. Forexample 13mm insulating board will contribute 15 minutes fireresistance when used as lining to wall or partition and 10minutes when used as a ceiling

 

 

Applications

 

Caneite Softboard can be effectively used for wall linings, andceilings. When used for panelling and partitioning with adequateframework for support, insulation board helps absorb reflectedsound.Caneite Softboard, aesthetically covered with attractive fabricsserves as a practical and unobtrusive display board ideal forwindow dressing and other displays in all kinds of stores.

 

Another fast growing application is pin board, Caneite hasexcellent “Pinability.”Use of softboard in recording studios, auditoria and other placesthat require sound control, results in effective reduction ofreflected sound.Softboard is also used for all purposes where good thermalinsulation is required, in the form of wall lining, ceilings androof linings.

 

It is also used as core material for partitions anddoors, for partition panels, and as anti-drum lining for metalpartitions and machine casings. For purposes requiring a resilientmaterial, such as a floor or carpet underlay, it assists in reducingimpact sound transmission

 

.Due to its resilient nature Caneite board is used as basematerial for expansion joint fillers. In situations where humidconditions may arise bitumen-impregnated softboard should bespecified.

Tempered Hardboard

Tempered Hardboard is manufactured from Eucalyptas timber species and water resistant synthetic resins to comply with AS 1859.4, Tempered hardboard is a tough high-density building board with superior strength. The fine, densely bonded, wood fibre structure of Tempered hardboard is resistant to abrasion and sufficiently durable for use in semi-proteced exterior applications.

 

Whilst Tempered retains the smooth face surface and fine wire screen back of other Hardboard products, it is characterised by its distinctive dark hard face surface. The smooth surface quality provides an excellent base for paint finishing with most industrial and domestic coatings.

 

Applications

 

Tempered has a wide range of applications, especially where there are requirements for superior indent resistance, lasting performance and aesthetic stylishness.

 

1. 1 - Interior lining of timber or metal-framed walls and ceilings in workshops, garages and in industrial or commercial premises.
1. 2 - Cabinet construction, industrial shelving and work bench surfacing, shop fitting.
2. 3 - Door Skins for surface flush panel doors, for use in moisture areas.

6.4mm 70 sheets per pack	1830 2440	1220

 

Preparation

For best practice, Tempered Hardboard should be conditioned by wetting the back of the board with water for at least 48 hours before foxing. Apply the water with sprinkler or fine spray and brush into the surface with a stiff broom. Stack the sheets flat, back to back for the required period.

 

Cutting & Machining

Tempered Hardboard is easy to work and machine with normal woodworking tools and equipment. Cut sheets with a fine tooth handsaw or power saw. Edges may be trimmed with a smoothing plane, power plane or sandpeper. Where holes are required clean cutter bits  or twist drills are satisfatory. Woodworking shapers, spindle moulders and high speed routers may be used to shape or mould the edges of Tempered Hardboard.
