PT EN ES FR DE IT RESERVED AREA Viroc by Investwood PRODUCT APPLICATIONS FEATURES FINISHING PROJECTS DOCUMENTS BIM FAQS Naturalness that endures Viroc® Cement Bonded Particle Board V-urban® Cement Bonded Particle Board Viroc is a composite panel consisting of a mixture of wood particles and cement called the Cement Bonded Particle Board (CBPB). It combines the flexibility of wood with the strength and durability of cement, allowing a wide range of applications both indoors and outdoors. The production of Viroc panel complies with the specifications of EN 634 and EN 13986 standards and carries the CE Marking Certificate. The Viroc panel has a heterogeneous appearance with different shades randomly dispersed, resulting from the natural colours of the raw materials used and the chemical reactions. Tone differences may be observed on the same face, between the faces of the same panel or between different productions batches. V-Urban is a Viroc panel with varnish finish intended to be applied to ventilated facades. It has QB certification (Qualité pour le Bâtiment / Quality in Building) and has an Avis Technique Approval Document issued by the CSTB. RANGE Viroc is produced in different colours, sizes and thicknesses. For more information, please access Viroc Technical Data Sheet.

The side edges are protected with L-shaped cardboard including those in contact with the strapping of the packaging system. The protection of these edges should be maintained until the date of installation of the panels. Viroc panels should be stored in a covered area, protected from sunlight and rain, with a flat and horizontal base. Pallets should be placed on supports high enough (≥8 cm) for easy forklift access. The maximum distance between supports should not exceed 800 mm and the distance between the first support and the top of the pallet should not exceed 210 mm. If the pallets are piled on top of each other, all the support bases must be aligned to prevent deformation. It is allowed to pile up to 6 pallets, with a maximum of 4 meters. HANDLING Siempre que sea posible, la manipulación de los paneles debe realizarse utilizando los equipos Whenever possible, the handling of the panels should be performed using appropriate equipment such as forklifts or plate lifts. When the panels have to be moved manually, they must be moved one by one in an upright position to remain flat and not deformed. The panels are heavy, so their manual movement should not be performed without sufficient people being present. Good manual handling practices should be followed, using appropriate personal protective equipment and following the rules of European Health and Safety legislation, Osha.Europa.eu (Factsheet 73). ACCLIMATISATION When leaving the factory, the panels have a humidity of 6 to 12%. To ensure proper installation conditions, the panel must adapt to the temperature and humidity conditions of the installation location. To do this, the straps should be cut and the protective plastic removed from the pallets. Prior to application, the panels must be at rest for at least 72 hours to acclimate to the installation site. During acclimatization, the panels at the top of the pallets, whose straps have already been removed, may buckle, forming an upward facing concavity. This phenomenon is natural and happens due to the differential loss of moisture between the two surfaces. This process is reversible. The panel will be flat again if turned upside down with the face up. The same effect will be achieved by wetting the concave face (surface up) with water. CUTTING, DRILLING AND MACHINING Boards can be cut, drilled and machined with power or compressed air tools commonly used in carpentry or mechanical metalwork. Cutting, drilling and machining of Viroc and V-Urban boards releases dust that may contain traces of silica and cement constituent material. Appropriate personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves, goggles, etc. should be worn. Cutting The cutting of Viroc boards must be performed with circular saws with high wear-resistant carbide (tungsten) or diamond cutters. To make multiple cuts or to cut boards with a thickness of 19 mm or greater, a horizontal cutting table should be used. The cutting table will increase profitability. Drilling Drilling should be performed with non-impact drills using HSS (High Speed Steel) drills suitable for drilling metal. Edge machining Simple edge machining can be carried out on site using a portable router. Using the correct cutter, edges can be made by: Bevelling, rounding, grooving, etc. The board edges may be supplied with factory grooves, tongue and groove or halved joint.
