New system of plates of maximum resistance to the humidity

This new plate, developed by Saint-Gobain Placo, is very light, what supposes important advantages so much in the transport as in the manipulation in work.

Aquaroc Has developed to install in humid zones of residential areas and commercial and recreational buildings, like kitchens, sanitary installations, swimming pools, spas, lavaderos industrial, dairy industries, etc. The systems of tabiquería and of trasdosados with signposts of cement Aquaroc guarantee a high performance on a long-term basis, as well as a big durability.

The employment of these plates avoids the possible damages that originate in the interior of the septum or of the trasdosado when the final treatment of the paramentos, generally of tiled ceramic, is not able to form an effective barrier in front of the water, ocasionando damages in the tabiquería or in the trasdosados.

Offers some exceptional levels of tolerance to the humidity, even when it submerges in water and passed 24 hours, the signpost presents an absorption of inferior water to 9%. The surface of Aquaroc reduces the leak to other vulnerable parts of the building, on the contrary of what sucede with another type of signposts of cement. The alcalinidad of Aquaroc (pH=12) offers a high resistance to the proliferation of mold and funguses.

His core, especially designed, does that his weight was lower, by what his court, manipulation and installation is simpler that other plates in basic cement.

The German institute for the Biology in the Construction and Ecology Rosenheim has awarded to the plates of cement Aquaroc his certificate of sustainability. Marked CE according to the norm JOINS IN 12467.

The composition to base of cement of Aquaroc awards to the plate some excellent mechanical properties (hardness, rigidity) that allow to absorb the additional tensions that appear in the humid environments, as well as in zones of high traffic.

His high density and his resistant surface to the scratches (value of hardness Brinell of 42 N/mm²) provide to Aquaroc a high resistance to the damages caused by impacts and to the abrasion in zones of high traffic.

The septums and the trasdosados of Aquaroc admit tiled, included the adhesive, of until 50 kg/m² of weight. The septums realised with Aquaroc have subjected besides to essays of resistance to the fire according to the norm JOINS IN 13501, obtaining values of until 60 minutes. The classification of reaction to the fire is To2-S1, d0.

The surface of Aquaroc, once treated the boards, admits a treatment of superficial finishing or the application of a tiled.

The systems Aquaroc present an upper mass that the normal signposts of revestimiento dry, offering high levels of isolation that turn him into the constructive system ideal for noisy zones in buildings of leisure, schools, public buildings, etc.
