3 <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Properties</strong>of CETRIS ® Cement BondedParticleboard3.4 Thermal <strong>Properties</strong>(W/mK)0.23The heat conductivity or the heat conductivity coefficientrepresents the most important indicator ofbuilding materials with regard to thermal performance.The CETRIS ® cement bonded particleboard,thanks to its ideal connection of wood and cement, isGraphic relation of heat conductivity coefficient λ on material thickness da good heat conductor. For that reason their applicationarea includes all applications requiring compactmaterials with the lowest thermal resistance possibleto minimise heat loss. This is for example the caseof floor heating applications. Floor heating is dealtwith in more detail in a separatechapter, 7.10 Floor Heating.λ = max. 0.287 W/mK(for mass humidity 9 ±3 %)Heat conductivity of CETRIS ® boards in relation tothickness:CETRIS ®boardthickness(mm)HeatConductivityλ(W/mK)ThermalresistanceR(m 2 K/W)8 0.200 0.04024 0.251 0.09640 0.287 0.1390.220.21Higher humidity causes proportionalincrease of heat conductivity whichshould not exceed 0.35 W/mK.The above values of heat conductivity are measuredin dry conditions. The effect of moisture onheat conductivity is not negligible, though. Higherhumidity causes a proportional increase of heatconductivity. That is why the heat conductivityvalues should be related to a stabilised CETRIS ®board moisture level.0.20d (mm)0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 503.5 Sound Insulation <strong>Properties</strong>On the basis of evaluation of tests of acousticproperties by the Construction Research Institute inPrague the acoustic properties of CETRIS ® boardsare excellent and therefore the boards are ideal forcladding of light partitions, walls and ceilings andmay also be used as sound absorbing ceiling panels.CETRIS ® cement bonded particleboards showlow sound absorption, therefore are classified asreflexive sound barriers.For increased sound absorption it is recommendedto use CERTIS ® boards with sound absorbingmaterial.Following values have been tested for the purposeof application of the boards in sound protectionsystems:Sound transmission losscoefficient0.013Lengthwise wave spread rate 2,128 m/sMaterial constant 22.7Index R w : th. 8, 10 mm 30 dBth. 12, 14 mm 31 dBth. 16, 20 mm 32 dBth. 24 mm33 dBth. 32 mm34 dBth. 40 mm35 dBpage 26
