ASSYX are an originator, innovator and technology leader in the field of production boards. The DuroBOARD® was developed in 2005 and combines the operational benefits of wood with the protective properties of polyurethane. This provides a high-performance board which helps clients make consistently high-quality concrete products throughout an impressive service-life.
DuroBOARD® was created by Manfred Kessler, owner of a concrete products manufacturer in Germany. Well aware of the problems experienced with production boards, he used this insight to develop DuroBOARD®. 20 years later, operating on double shifts, the original set of boards created are still in use within the business’ plant. Now, DuroBOARD® is used in over 50 countries worldwide.
The engineered wooden core, manufactured from sustainably sourced timber, provides excellent breaking strength and bending stiffness. DuroBOARD®’s average E-modulus of >10,000N/mm² is almost twice as high as solid plastic. Paired with optimum board density, this structural stability also ensures outstanding vibration transmission for excellent product compaction, helping reduce the costs of production.
DuroBOARD® is light-weight without compromising performance, it can be up to 80% lighter than a steel equivalent and up to 45% lighter than some plastic boards. This makes the boards extremely easy to handle and reduces impact on both operators and production equipment alike.
The LVL core is fully encapsulated by a 3mm thick high-performance polyurethane – BAYDUR®. This PU protection shields the core from environmental factors, maximising service life. Resistant to wear & abrasion, impact, weathering & UV, water, and chemicals, DuroBOARD® can be relied upon to stand up to the rigours of your production process.
Manufactured fully automatically from the best materials with constant precision, quality and strength, The ASSYX DuroBOARD® offers:
