Hilux Calcium Silicate Board is made of calcareous and siliceous materials, reinforced with fibres. It is cured under high steam pressure and temperature to provide a stable, strong crystalline structure. Water Resistance Hilux boards are also highly water resistant and maintain their strength under conditions that other boards would not be able to withstand. When Hilux boards are immersed in water for 24 hours, they might lose their strength slightly but they regain their full strength as soon as they are dried. Placing the boards in water has no long-term effect on the board or on most of the decorated surfaces, hence they can be used in high humid areas or in places where there is a risk of water accidentally coming in contact with the board. Termite Resistance Another advantage of Hilux Calcium Silicate boards is that they are termite resistant as well. Unlike other building materials, like Gypsum plaster- based boards and Plywood wood-based products, Hilux boards are highly resistant to termites and attacks from other vermin. This is because it is made of inorganic minerals and has stable crystalline structure, owing to use of minerals in the surface structure of the boards. In addition to this, the boards do not contribute to fungus growth and also have anti-bacterial properties Light Weight Hilux boards are light in weight therefore can be handled easily. Its dry density is 850-950 Kg/m3. Strength & Durability The stable crystalline structure makes the boards strong and durable. The boards are strong enough to take normal impacts. They do not degrade or deteriorate physically. Flexibility Hilux boards are also very flexible in design terms. A 6mm thick Hilux board can be bent (minimum radius-600mm) to provide curved surfaces. Boards will bend more easily, if bent across their long axis when they are wet or saturated. Decoration Hilux boards are also highly water resistant and maintain their strength under conditions that other boards would not be able to withstand. When Hilux boards are immersed in water for 24 hours, they might lose their strength slightly but they regain their full strength as soon as they are dried. Placing the boards in water has no long-term effect on the board or on most of the decorated surfaces, hence they can be used in high humid areas or in places where there is a risk of water accidentally coming in contact with the board. Easy Workability Calcium Silicate boards are very easy to work with as they can be cut and drilled with ordinary carpenter's tools and can also be sanded with conventional papers.

Hilux acoustic tiles, being perforated and backed by non-woven cloth in white colour, offer excellent acoustic functionality with NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) value of 0.70 – 0.85 with a backing of 50/100 mm of Rock/Glass wool of 48Kg/m3 density.   Water Resistance Hilux boards are also highly water resistant and maintain their strength under conditions that other boards would not be able to withstand.
