1 Product Information ETERPAN is a medium density fibre cement sheet that is used for external cladding, plastered finish, base for stone and brick slips, rigid air barrier, weatherboards, soffits, louvres, decks, internal linings, ceilings, flooring, tile and slate underlay. 1. Product composition ETERPAN sheets consist of the following: Portland cement Mineral fillers Organic reinforcing fibres Functional additives 2. Production method ETERPAN sheets are manufactured on a FLOW-ON machine and are autoclaved at high temperature and pressure. ETERPAN is produced by Etex Group, the most global manufacturer of fibre cement with production facilities in 40 different countries. The FLOW-ON production process is different from the more traditional Hatschek process as it produces fibre cement in a more monolithic core and has superior water, frost and delamination resistance. There are 3 distinctive ETERPAN products available - Eterpan REFINED with a sanded surface - Eterpan BASE with an unsanded surface - Eterpan Siding, the weatherboard range produced with ETERPAN technology 3.

Colours ETERPAN comes in a light beige colour. No other colours are available. 6. Testing and technical properties (average values) Eterpan sheets are classified Type A under the requirements of AS Cellulose Cement Products, Part 2 Flat sheets. Eterpan has been tested by BRANZ and reported in MTR 1083 to AS which defines standards of performance for flat sheets of cellulose-cement products. The results are summarised as follows:- (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Determination of Flexural Strength Modulus of Rupture: results gave Eterpan a category 2 for a type A board (external use) in AS , section 6. Determination of Water tightness: requirements for a type A (external) sheet in AS met (i.e no water droplets on the reverse side of the sheet were evident). Determination of Resistance to Hot Water Soaking: after hot water soaking the test samples did not show any visible cracks, structural alteration, or delamination as required in AS for type A (external sheets). The 95% confidence limit of the ratio of mean hot water MOR to mean control MOR was above 0.8 as also required. Determination of Resistance to Heat/Rain: after heat/rain exposure, the test samples did not show any visible cracks, structural alteration, or delamination as required in AS for type A (external sheets). Determination of Resistance to Freeze/Thaw: after freeze/thaw exposure, the test samples did not show any visible cracks, structural alteration, or delamination as required in AS for type A (external sheets). Code Compliance Eterpan has a BRANZ 50 year durability opinion, ref BDO 98/3 and meets the following performance criteria of the N.Z.B.C. 1. Durability: a. When as a non structural part of the building envelope Eterpan meets the N.Z.B.C durability requirement of 15 years according to clause B2.3.1(b). b. When as a structural part of the building envelope Eterpan meets the N.Z.B.C durability requirement of 50 years according to clause B2.3.1(a), when coated with a water impermeable treatment, maintained over the life of the product. c. Eterpan is producer guaranteed against physical or mechanical deterioration for 50 years.

Working guidelines Cutting: Pacific Build Supply Ltd operates a CNC waterjet cutting machine in Auckland that facilitates the cutting of intricate designs with minute tolerances. Please contact Pacific Build Supply Ltd for more information. For on site cutting: With a stationary saw, slow rotation with tungsten carbide-tipped blade or fast rotation with a fluted diamond cutting blade. With a hand circular saw (with rail), slow rotation with tungsten carbide-tipped blade or fast rotation with a fluted diamond cutting blade. With a jigsaw with tungsten carbide-tipped tooth cutting blade Conventional woodworking equipment can be used but in general wear faster and have lower quality edges. Edge finish: Use a fine emery cloth or sanding block to be sealed as part of the specified architectural finish. No other requirements for edge sealing. Drilling: For holes: carbide tipped twist drill with a 60 nose angle For round apertures: cup drill or circular cutter, carbide-tipped The sheet should be supported around the hole to be drilled (e.g. by a wooden surface). Cutting and drilling must take place in a dry environment. All residual dust must be removed immediately from the sheet with a dry towel to avoid permanent stains.

6 Fixing: The method and choice of the fixings (e.g. stainless steel, aluminium ) is dependent on the application and the environment. 1) Structural adhesive (concealed fixing): ETERPAN can be fixed with a structural adhesive. The back of the sheet must be sanded (sand paper P80) and sealed at the area where the adhesive is applied. The only adhesive to be used is specified by Pacific Build Supply Ltd in accordance with the Pacific Build Supply Ltd application guidelines. Further information is available from Pacific Build Supply Ltd. 2) Screwing: Use screws as specified by Pacific Build Supply Ltd. On XpressClad aluminium rails the screws are 19 mm long stainless steel self-tapping countersunk screws or 25 mm long stainless steel self tapping screws in combination with 10g stainless steel cup washers. To fix Eterpan on VentClad timber battens use 63 mm long stainless steel countersunk screws (for flushed finish) or 70 mm long stainless steel with sq drive head and stainless steel cup washers for featured fixings. Sheets need to be predrilled with the appropriate diameter. Respect the fixing patterns as specified by Pacific Build Supply Ltd. Min distance to the edge of the sheet is 15 mm and 100 and 50 mm to the edges at the corner of the sheets. 3) Nailing: In some applications, it is possible to nail Eterpan sheets. Specifications of the nails as well as fixing patterns depend on the application and can be found on the Pacific Build Supply website or by contacting Pacific Build Supply Ltd directly. Min distance to the edge of the sheet is 15 mm and 100 and 50 mm to the edges at the corner of the sheets. Caulking: Only use products recommended by Pacific Build Supply Ltd. Non-neutral silicones or thiokols can result in staining. Health and safety aspects: While the sheets are being processed, dust will be released which may irritate airways and eyes. It is recommended that a minimum P2 dust mask and safety goggles be worn. Appropriate dust extraction or proper ventilation should be used depending on the room in which the work is being carried out or the equipment being used. Long-term exposure to dust may be harmful to health. 9. Handling The sheets are packed on pallets. They must be kept dry during transport. The sheets must be horizontally stacked on a flat surface. The sheets must always be sufficiently supported so that they do not sag. The sheets must be stored in a dry ventilated space. If the sheets are stored outside, they must always be protected against rain by a tarpaulin or plastic sheet. If the sheets do become wet in the packing, all packaging must be removed and the sheets must be wiped dry and placed in a way that they can dry completely. A sheet must always be lifted from a stack by two people and then be carried on edge. 10. Guarantee The guarantee and the guarantee conditions are available on request from Pacific Build Supply Ltd,
