A quiet revolution is taking place in the fields of building materials and industrial applications. Non-Asbestos sheet, with its unique advantages, is gradually becoming a new market favorite and leading a new trend in board usage. What makes Non-Asbestos sheet stand out from the crowd and so popular?

The name of Non-Asbestos sheet clearly reveals its key characteristic—it contains no asbestos.

Asbestos was once widely used in various fields due to its excellent physical properties, such as thermal insulation, fire resistance, wear resistance, and electrical insulation. Non-Asbestos sheet is a general term for board materials that do not contain asbestos. It mainly includes asbestos-free sheeting, asbestos-free compressed sheeting, and asbestos-free rubber sheeting. Made from high-performance synthetic fibers, natural rubber, fillers, and colorants, rolled under high temperature and high pressure, it has essentially completely replaced asbestos.

The advantages of Non-Asbestos sheet are significant.

In addition to their health benefits, the "hardcore performance" of Non-Asbestos sheets is key to their market appeal:

High fire resistance: Most Non-Asbestos sheets meet the A1 non-combustibility standard in GB 8624-2012, "Classification of Combustion Performance of Building Materials and Products." They do not burn or release toxic gases in high-temperature environments. Recently, a new provincial hospital project employed asphalt-free fiber cement boards as ceiling materials, successfully passing fire safety inspections with a fire resistance limit of 2.5 hours.

Strong weather and corrosion resistance: In humid environments like underground garages and chemical workshops, Non-Asbestos sheets have a water absorption rate of less than 15% and are resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. A coastal port storage project used asbestos-free sealing boards to seal pipe joints, and after three years of exposure to sea breezes, they remained leak-free and deformed.

The cost-effectiveness is evident: For example, in building partition walls, 6mm-thick asbestos-free fiber cement board boasts a flexural strength 2.3 times greater than that of gypsum board of the same thickness, and boasts a service life exceeding 20 years. While the unit price is slightly higher than traditional board, overall maintenance costs are reduced by 40%, making it a top choice for developers seeking to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

From an environmental and health perspective, its 100% asbestos-free nature eliminates the health risks associated with asbestos at the source. Both the production and use processes are harmless to the environment and human health, creating a safe and healthy space for users. In terms of performance, it operates over a wide temperature and pressure range, remaining stable in a variety of challenging environments. It also offers excellent fire resistance, being classified as an A1 non-combustible material. In the event of a fire, it will not burn or produce toxic fumes. It also offers excellent waterproofing, maintaining its performance in high-humidity environments such as bathrooms and toilets, without expanding or deforming. Its high strength, for example, exceeds that of 9.5mm thick ordinary gypsum board, making the resulting walls sturdy and reliable, and resistant to damage and cracking. Furthermore, Non-Asbestos sheet offers dimensional stability, with ideal expansion and shrinkage rates. It also provides excellent thermal insulation and sound insulation, a long service life, and is acid and alkali resistant, resistant to corrosion, moisture, insects, and termites.

The wide range of applications also contributes to the popularity of Non-Asbestos sheet.

In the civil construction sector: In high-end residential buildings, Non-Asbestos sheetreplaces traditional gypsum board for kitchen and bathroom walls, addressing moisture and mold. In public buildings such as schools and nursing homes, its excellent sound insulation (airborne sound insulation ≥ 40dB) and fire resistance provide a strong safety barrier in crowded places.

Industrial applications: The petrochemical industry uses Non-asbestos rubber sheet to seal high-temperature steam pipes, with a temperature resistance of up to 300°C. New energy vehicle factories use asbestos-free calcium silicate board as partition walls in battery workshops, combining fire resistance and insulation to ensure production safety.

Emerging sector expansion: With the development of prefabricated buildings, Non-Asbestos sheetis combined with light-gauge steel keels to achieve "factory prefabrication and on-site assembly," increasing construction efficiency by 50%.

 In the construction industry, it is an ideal decorative sheet material for ceilings and partitions. In commercial buildings, such as large shopping malls and office buildings, asbestos-free fiber cement panels, with their excellent fire resistance and decorative properties, meet the dual requirements of safety and aesthetics. In residential buildings, Non-asbestos panels are also commonly used for interior partitions, kitchens, and bathroom walls, where their waterproof and moisture-resistant properties are perfectly suited to these humid environments. In industrial applications, Non-asbestos panels are suitable for use in various industries, including the petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, shipbuilding, and automotive sectors. They can be used for pipe connections for water, high-temperature steam, and compressed air, as well as for heat exchanger pipes and valves. They are even used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where their safety and environmental friendliness prevent product contamination.

In recent years, with growing environmental awareness, increasing demand for environmentally friendly building materials, and stricter regulations being implemented worldwide, the market for asbestos-free panels has become increasingly promising.

With its environmentally friendly and healthy properties, excellent performance, and wide range of applications, asbestos-free panels are gradually changing the panel market landscape. I believe that in the future, Non-Asbestos sheets will be used in more fields, creating a safer and more comfortable living and working environment for people.
