Chema XBoard
Chema XBoard panels are easy-to-finish thermal insulation solutions designed for both interior and exterior use. These panels are engineered for superior heat, water, and sound insulation. The core of each panel is made from Blue Foam, a type of Extruded Polystyrene (XPS), which is then reinforced with a fiberglass mesh and treated on both sides with a special polymer-modified cementitious layer. This composite structure makes the panels not only excellent insulators that contribute to saving electricity consumption but also highly resistant to water and moisture absorption. Furthermore, they are designed for convenience, being easy to apply, cut, and handle during transportation and installation.
Category Polystyrene Foam Materials
Chema XBoard is a high-performance heat, water, and sound insulation panel for interior and exterior applications. It is constructed from an Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) foam core, reinforced with fiberglass mesh, and coated with a polymer-modified cementitious layer on both sides. This makes it an ideal, easy-to-use solution for insulating walls, bathrooms, and cooling rooms.
Properties
• Provides heat, water, and sound insulation
• Strong adhesion of the cementitious surface to all types of tile adhesives, paints and finishes
• Dimensional stability
• Made of Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)
• Reinforced with fiberglass mesh
• Treated with a special polymer-modified cementitious layer on both sides
• Easy to apply
• Heat insulator
• Easy to cut and use
• Saves electricity consumption
• Easy to handle during transportation and installation
• Resistant to water and moisture absorption
Areas of Use
• Thermal and moisture insulation for ceilings, floors, and walls
• Cladding of external façades and internal walls
• Constructing partitions and lightweight walls inside rooms and halls
• Decorative elements for both straight and curved designs
• Fixing tiles and applying all types of finishes and paints
• Moist environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, etc
Installation Tips
CHEMA XBOARD is installed on flat surfaces such as concrete, brick, wood, or metal frames
using:
• A thin layer of adhesive (CHEMA ADHESIVE 102)
• Mechanical fasteners such as screws and anchors
• Additional mechanical fixation can be used if needed
• Joints are treated using joint filler and waterproof sealing tape
