Monolux®
Monolux
® is manufactured from a calcium silicate and reinforced with selected fibres and fillers. It is a lightweight, non-combustible building board for use in fire resisting constructions, linings and as machined components.
Monolux® is available in 2 grades:
| Grade |
Temperature |
Specification |
| Monolux 500® |
Up to +500ºC |
Higher density, greater impact resistance and strength for machining. |
| Monolux 800® |
Up to +800ºC |
Increased strength and temperature rating. |
Key features:
- Non-combustible.
