Interior Humidity Control Building Material

Maintains natural humidity
levels, making interior space
more comfortable.

Noncombustible decorative boards

KaraRich is an interior humidity control building
material developed primarily using cement andcalcium silicate.
When a room is humid, it absorbs that humidity
and prevents condensation; in dry conditions, itreleases the humidity it has absorbed,maintaining
humidity at nearly the same level.
It also adsorbs formaldehyde.

Features●Excellent humidity control functionality.
Obtained the Humidity Control Building
Material mark from the Japan
Construction Material & Housing
Equipment Industries Federation●Eﬀective in adsorbing and trapping
formaldehyde.
●Eﬀective in adsorbing ammonia.
●Light and springy, these interior ﬁnishingmaterials are highly resistant to impact
damage●KaraRich has been approved by the
Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport
and Tourism as a noncombustible material●In separation wall systems, compatible
with both adhesive and metal ﬁtting methods

Noncombustible boards

2. Installation■Methods for fastening with nails, screws and staples.
If the sub-layer is steel frame, attach the boards using self-tapping screws or bolts; if the sub-layer is woodconstruction, use wood screws or board nails, etc.
Because the boards are held in place by the nail head, use nails with large heads or add a washer.
Also, make sure round wire nails, wood screws, small screws and other fastenings are plated or otherwise
rust-proofed.

Steel frame sub-layer

Gypsum board sub-layer

Fastening with nails

Fastening with screws

Fastening with staples(Board nails, wood screws, etc.)(Self-tapping screws, bolts, etc.)(Staples)※Use JIS A 5508 compliant nails (round wire
nails) that have been plated, or stainlesssteel nails, etc.
Nail length should be approximately 2.5-3
times board thickness.

※Use JIS B 1122 self-tapping screws thathave been plated, or stainless steel screws.
Screw length should be approximately 2times board thickness.
※To prevent cement board from splitting,ﬁrst make a starter hole approximately
0.5-1mm larger than the screw or otherfastening.

※The stapling method also requires the useof adhesive.
※Use staples treated with rust-prooﬁng. Use
staples of a length corresponding to board
thickness.
※Use staples to fasten Hiluc, Hiluc M and
FG Board products. Do not use withcement board.
※As a rule, do not use on ceiling installations.

Noncombustible decorative boards

Wood sub-layer※Because the staple material itself lacks the holding force of screws, use only on supporting material.
※Seek advice before using under special conditions (including underlay materials), including high temperatures or humidity, or in extremely dry conditions.

■Opening area layout●Reinforcing the opening sub-laye●Layout

To minimize vibration from opening and closing of the opening,
use a sub-layer of light gauge steel (C channel shape, etc.)
rather than steel studs to reinforce the opening.

To ensure the cut-out portion does not create a weak
point, ﬁnishing material used around the opening
should by laid out to ﬁt the width of the opening.

Runner(Unit: mm)

When cutting out the ﬁnishing material
used around the opening and cutting
to ﬁt the opening is unavoidable,
before cutting ﬁrst use an electric drill
to make a starter hole ofapproximately φ10 at the corner of thesection to be cut.

Because Hiluc, Selﬂex and Selﬂex A are alkaline products,
an alkali-resistant paint should be used.

Painting●Use the appropriate paint for indoor and outdoor applications.
Interior painting

Exterior painting◆Synthetic resin-based interior emulsion paint◆In kitchens and other locations easily exposed towater, use a resin-based alkali emulsion paint or
a synthetic resin-based exterior emulsion paint◆Emulsion paintUse an alkali emulsion resin-based paint, vinyl
acetate resin, epoxy resin, urethane resin, or
silicone resin◆Synthetic resin-based exterior emulsion paint◆Solvent-based paints
Urethane resin, acrylic resin, acrylic urethane
resin, acrylic silicon resin, epoxy resin, polyvinyl
chloride resin, ﬂuorine resin

Note 1: Each of these paints has its own characteristics. Use according to speciﬁcations.
Note 2: Use of a roller or brush for application on calcium silicate board is recommended. Spray application of paint may cause pilling.

Note: Depending on the combination of ﬁnishing material and board, ﬁnishing material may split along the joints.
Be sure to keep this in mind when selecting a material.

●Surface primer putty for chamfered end-to-end joints (paint, cloth ﬁnishing)
A top coat of putty may be applied depending on the ﬁnish.

Joint reinforcing mesh tape

Undercoat putty

Intermediate coat putty●Joint-less method for walls without exposed pillars
Install chamfered FG Board (6mm or more) or FP-FG Board (6mm only) end-to-end,
and using pan-head self-tapping screws, ﬂat-head nails, etc.,
ensure the head is completely below the surface of the board.
①Completely seal the joints with an IP sealant, etc. and leave for at least ﬁve hours.
②Fill the joints with a synthetic resin-based emulsion putty (ex. All-purpose IP putty from International Paint Co.)
using a putty knife, and leave to dry for at least ﬁve hours (may require two applications).
③Remove any burrs in the putty with sandpaper, then use a putty knife to apply additional putty around the joints(to a width of 50mm). Allow to dry for three hours, then ﬁnish with sandpaper.
When applying putty, use of cheesecloth or silk tape is also recommended.
④As with the joints, apply putty two to three times to the fasteners, then ﬁnish with sandpaper.

1. Sub-layer Preparation■Checking sub-layer material
Gypsum board and calcium silicate board, etc. areappropriate sub-layer materials.
When using Hiluc and Hiluc M as sub-layers, ﬁrst
prepare the sub-layer (primer and sealer)
to check the adherence of the primary adhesive tapeand secondary adhesive.
(Sample recommended sealer) Dai Nippon Toryo Co.,
Ltd. NO VOC CLEAN EPO SEALER(Water-based epoxy resin, zero-VOC product)※When using Stendo#800 Dry in low-temperatureenvironments, gypsum board and FG Boardare
recommended as sub-layer materials.
■When sub-layer is tileSee P68 for information on adhesive installation withan existing tile surface as sub-layer.
※Adhesives cannot be used on sub-layers of ALC,
RC framing, or painted, cloth or decorative
surfaces.
■Adjusting for unevenness
Check to be sure installation surface is smooth andfree of unevenness, then thoroughly dry and clean
the surface.
■Cleaning
Remove any oil, dirt and dust from the installation
surface.

2. Layout■Horizontal and vertical checks
Check that walls are straight horizontally andvertically and that corners are at right angles.
■Marking
Following the approved installation drawing, mark thelayout of the sub-layer material so that horizontal andvertical placement can be judged.
■Area around openings
Refer to P62 to ensure cut-outs do not become weak
points.

Wear a dust mask and protective goggles before
cutting.
●Surface protection
When cutting, have the underside of the board
facing up and use a plank to protect the surface.
Cut using a piece of wood (guide ruler or such) asa brace to control kickback.

■Using a board cutter①Make a cut about 2mm deep on the top andunderside of the board
Shallow cuts can cause splitting and chipping.
②Cut from the top surface of the board.
Use a support piece to prevent splitting andchipping.
※Corner sections: On the decorative surface, ﬁrst use
an electric drill to make a starting hole of about φ10.

openings for outlets, etc. are to be made.
●With the decorative surface facing down, drill aseries of holes from the undersideusing a jigsaw ordrill and following the outline of the cut-out, thenuse a straight saw or board cutter to cut out thesection.
●For cutouts for gas pipes, etc., use a hole saw to
cut holes the circumference required, cutting fromthe decorative surface.

■Opening reinforcing sub-layer
To minimize vibrations from the opening and closingof the opening, use lightweight steel framing(C-channel, etc.)
rather than steel studs as a reinforcing sub-layer.

Runner◎Kitchen and Sanitary
When installing racks, etc., always make sure there
is a sub-layer, and do notattach directly to thedecorative board.
It is recommended that racks, etc. be installed byalways drilling starter holes in the decorative surface
for screws, etc.
■Cut-outs
Cut-outs should be laid out to follow the width of the
opening as closely as possible, to ensure the ﬁnishedopening does not become a weak point.
Good example

Poor example

4. Installation■Follow the steps below when using both two-sided
tape and adhesive.
Using two-sided tape that adheres quickly as theprimary adhesive, and a one-part modiﬁed siliconadhesive that requires time to harden as thesecondary adhesive, gives the hardened elastic
adhesive a ﬂexible rubber-like elasticity, absorbing
and mitigating external stress such as impact andvibration, as well as swelling and shrinking of thecomponent, thus protecting the component.

Decorative Board●Remove any oil, dirt, moisture or dust from thedecorative board, which can cause poor adhesion.
●Check to be sure boards are laid out so that joints
in the sub-layer materialdo not overlap with joints
in the decorative board.
※Avoid installing when indoor temperatures are 5ºCor less, or if temperature will fall below 5ºC before
the adhesive hardens.

When cutting thedecorative board aroundthe opening to ﬁt the
opening is unavoidable,
begin by ﬁrst drilling
starter holes approximately φ10 in each of
the corners of the cut-out with an electric drill.
◎Kitchen and Sanitary
Cut-outs should be at least 100mm wide.

62

Primary Adhesive Tape●Aﬃx two-sided tape to the underside of thedecorative board.
(Positioning is diﬀerent for wall and ceiling surfaces.)※Do not re-use tape that has come oﬀ or been
peeled oﬀ, as adhesive strength may havedeteriorated.

Removing Backing Paper and Bonding●Apply the adhesive. Except under special circum
stances, as a rule the adhesive should be appliedin bead form.
※Consider switching between two-sided tape andadhesive on board ends to adjust for othercomponents and as a measure against warping.
※If openings can be determined in advance, use
two-sided tape and adhesivearound the edges ofany openings as well.
※Cutting the nozzle of the applicator in two direc
tions is one way of ensuring a suﬃcient coating ofadhesive.

Noncombustible boards

Secondary Adhesive Tape

■Corrections
Note that boards cannot be shifted or otherwise
corrected once attached.

Noncombustible decorative boards●Taking care that the two-sided tape does not peeloﬀ of the decorative board, peel the backing paperoﬀ of the two-sided tape and ensure the tape isﬁrmly attached.
●Attach the decorative board in the prescribed
position within ten minutes of applying adhesive.
●Do not apply pressure by hitting the decorative
board with hands or tools. Push down ﬁrmly on thearea where the two-sided tape and adhesive havebeen applied to bond them to the surface.
※When using a suction cup device, note that somedevices provide extremely strong suction. Use only
after conﬁrming that the device will not aﬀect thedecorative surface.

■Applying adhesive (standard application)
Positioning of primary adhesive tape (two-sided tape) and secondary adhesive.
Primary adhesive two-sided tape should be within a pitch of
450mm, secondary adhesive should be applied in beads ofabout φ8mm within a pitch of 300mm.

※Avoid cutting to ﬁt in areasof high temperature, highhumidity or extreme
dryness.
※End-to-end cannot be madewith Stendo #300.

Fine chamfering (about 1C)■Spacing●When spacing to ﬁt, install the panels after
applying joint tape along the marked layout.
※Use joint tape of about 20mm in width to avoid
aﬀecting the position of the adhesive.
※Avoid spacing to ﬁt in areas of high temperature,high humidity or extreme dryness.
※Spaced installation cannot be used with
Stendo#300 with uncoated edges, or with
Stendo#800 Dry.
※When calcium silicate
board is used as a
sub-layer, applicationof a sealer on the
calcium silicate board
surface where joint
tape is being applied isrecommended.

■Standard Installation Method〈Adhesive Installation Method〉■Checking walls adjacent to cooking appliances (speciﬁcation for Japan)●Check that the distance from the ﬁnished surface
is at least 150mm in the case of householdcooking appliances,and at least 200mm in thecase of commercial cooking appliances. If this is
not possible, install a wall that meets or exceeds
ﬁreproof performance as stipulated in the BuildingStandards Act.

●Even when separation is not subject to restrictions
under the Building Standards Act, ﬁre prevention
ordinances and the like, to ensure decorative board
performance, allow for a distance of at least 150mm
between the cooking appliance and the ﬁnishedsurface. Note that if this is not possible, the surface
should be protected with a heat insulating plate(stainless steel, etc.).

6. Surface Finishing■Maintenance and Repair●Repair method (example)
Refer to the following methods for repairing
scratches, etc. on the coated surface.

1）
Take care when using alcohol or thinner, as thesemay damage coated surfaces.
2）
Do not use cleaning agents containing abrasives(cleanser, etc.).
3）
Wipe oﬀ grease stains immediately.

2）
Remove all dust and dirt, etc. after sanding toleave a clean surface.

4）
Take care when using scrub brushes, steel wool orother hard cleaning tools, as these may damage
coated surfaces.

3）
Give the coated surface a smooth ﬁnish by using asprayer, etc. to apply a quick-drying urethane
coating .

5）
Take care when repeatedly or continually wiping
the same place too hard with a cloth, as this may
damage the coated surface.

4）
Where necessary, ﬁnish the coated surface after
drying by smoothing with a ﬁne-grade sandpaper,etc.

6）When cracks occur in sealing materials, repair
promptly.

※Prior to installation, it is recommended that asample be used to test for ﬁnished appearance,coloration after drying, etc.
●Day-to-day cleaning method
Wipe using a soft cloth soaked in water or adiluted neutral detergent.
●Method for cleaning dirt from coated surfaces
1）
For dust, mud, ink, etc., wipe using a soft cloth
soaked in water or a neutral detergent diluted withwater.
2）
For magic marker ink, crayon, oils, etc., wipe
lightly with a soft cloth soaked in xylol, benzene,
disinfecting ethanol, etc. Note, however, that theluster of the surface may change. Take care not towipe too hard or too often, as this may damage thecoating. While disinfecting alcohol or benzene may
also be applied with a soft cloth, this will also alter
the luster of the surface.

Noncombustible decorative boards

1）
Rub oﬀ a thin layer of the coated surface using a
ﬁne-grade sandpaper, etc. (about #220-grit). If there
are no abnormalities in the sub-layer (base) board
surface, there is no need to remove the entire coatedsurface, but scratch marks from the sandpaper
should be left on the entire surface.

■Important information

7）
Refer to the chemical resistance information listed
in the catalog when conducting chemicalcleaning. Note that the chemical resistance dataconsists of reference values; review the
information thoroughly when using chemicals. It is
recommended that a sample be tested to checkprior to use.
■Important information about use
1）
Do not attach nails or screws. Decorative boards
lack the thickness to support nails and screws,
and their use may result in cracks and detachment. Water seeping in through holes created bynails and screws, etc. may also cause panels toswellor separate.
2）
Do not attach duct tape, adhesive hooks or otheritems with strong adhesives, as this my cause
coating to peel.
3）
Do not strike boards with knives, forks or othersharp objects, as this may damage the surface.
4）
Do not allow ﬂame or heated object to come nearto or in contact with boards, as this may cause thecoated surface to burn or blister.
5）
To prevent mold from forming, it is recommended
that dirt and dust be cleaned oﬀ, as these provide
nourishment for any mold that may adhere to thecoated surface. Mold formation can also be
preventedby ventilating the area and maintaining
low humidity. Mold is said to require four conditions to reproduce: nourishment, humidity,
temperature and oxygen.

■Standard Installation Method〈Adhesive Installation Method（Interior tile sub-layer）〉
The adhesive installation repair method uses existing interior tile as a sub-layer,with the decorative board installed on top of the tile using the adhesive method, shortening installation time.

Aluminum joiners〈Adhesive method〉●Method using both two-sided tape andelastic adhesiveThis adhesive method uses special
two-sided tape as the primary adhesive,and one-part modiﬁed silicon adhesive as
the secondary adhesive.

●The superior adhesive properties of modiﬁed
silicon adhesives are compatible with a tilesub-layer, and result in a beautiful ﬁnish whendecorative boards are used.
●Elastic adhesive absorbs and mitigates external
stress such as impact and vibration, as well as
swelling and shrinking of the component, thus
protecting the component.
●This is a solvent-free method, and thus is safe foruse in repair work.

■Standard Installation Method〈Adhesive Installation Method（Interior tile sub-layer）〉■Decorative Board Finishing (when using Stendo and Cara-Art Series)
When using two-sided tape and adhesive together, follow the steps shown below.
■Installation procedure

Check sub-layer(existing interior tile)

Check for loose tiles

Check sub-layer
for unevenness●Check condition of sub-layer●Thoroughly remove any dirt from tile surface.

●Because old tile surfaces are highly prone to loosening and detaching, check forloose tiles by conducting a strike test (hitting the tile surface with a test hammer
to listen for abnormal sounds).
Loose tiles should either be removed or repaired by drilling a hole in the tile andinjecting a repair adhesive, etc.
●Using a plumb bob or straight ruler, check for vertical and horizontal unevenness.
●Acceptable unevenness is around 2-3mm.
●Adjust for tile surface unevenness by aﬃxing additional primary adhesive tape.
●Unevenness greater than 3mm should be adjusted using resin mortar; checkthat the mortar has dried and hardened.
Vertical uneven measurement(plumb bob)Checking and treating tile sub-layer
If there is unevenness in the existing
interior tile, adjust using additional
primary adhesive tape or resin mortar.

Horizontal uneven measurement(straight ruler)

Prior to treating unevenness

LayoutProcessing

After treating unevenness
with resin mortar●Check that the tile surface is adequately dry.
●Following the approved drawing, mark the layout on the existing interior tile.
When doing so, check the dimensions of the approved drawing against theactual dimensions, laying out the base line by prioritizing the marked reference line.
※Avoid installing when indoor temperatures are 5ºC or less, or if temperature
will fall below 5ºC before the adhesive hardens.
●ToolsBoards should be cut using the following tools★Cutting and cut-outs★Chamfering (ﬁnishing)★Perforating and cut-outs※See P61 (3. Processing) for tools, cutting, chamfering (ﬁnishing), and cut-outs.

Secondary adhesive●Attach the decorative board in theprescribed position within 10 minutes of applying adhesive.
※Consider switching between two-sided tape and adhesive on board ends toadjust for other components and as a measure against warping.
※If openings can be determined in advance, use two-sided tape and adhesivearound the edges of any openings as well.
※Cutting the nozzle of the applicator in two directions is one way of ensuring a
suﬃcient coating of adhesive.
※Depending on the unevenness of the tile sub-layer, consider applying thesecondary adhesive in a grid pattern.

Removing Backing Paper
and Bonding●Taking care that the two-sided tape does not peel oﬀ of the decorative board,peel the backing paper oﬀ of the two-sided tape and ensure the tape is ﬁrmly
attached.
●Do not apply pressure by hitting the decorative board with hands or tools. Push
down ﬁrmly on the area where the two-sided tape and adhesive have been
applied to bond them to the surface.
※When using a suction cup device, note that some devices provide extremely
strong suction. Use only after conﬁrming that the device will not aﬀect thedecorative surface.
※When attaching hand rails and other metal parts, over-tightening them maycause cracks to form around the part due to an adhesive layer of about 1 mm
between the board and the sub-layer material. Take care in attaching suchparts to avoid strain on the decorative board.
