MONOLUX^® is a non-combustible, autoclaved calcium silicate reinforced fire protection board, manufactured with selected organic fibres and fillers. Long prominent as a fire resistant board and used extensively for fire rated HVAC ducts, MONOLUX^® is especially designed to meet the customer’s requirements. MONOLUX^® is lightweight compared to most building boards. The unique Magnani production process produces a monolithic board that is rigid, robust and lightweight. MONOLUX^® is a user friendly product because its system installation is easy and convenient. MONOLUX^® panels also have good screw holding qualities -- screws can be installed without pre-drilling. MONOLUX^® is moisture tolerant; although it absorbs water, MONOLUX^® regains its original strength upon drying out. Moisture will not cause leaching or efflorescence and has no permanent effect on the board. MONOLUX^® is very stable with good acoustic performance.
