Applications : Fibercement Board and Floor Panel

ECC fiber cement board is a new composite that Kuraray is now making available. The highly ductile board will absorb 30MPa of energy in bending. This unique material offers many possibilities for civil engineering and architectural applications

PVA fibercement boards are easily cut and nailed
