Transite® 1000 is a high-density, non-asbestos fiber reinforced cement board engineered for superior strength, thermal stability, electrical insulation, and machinability. With a nominal density of 100 pcf (1602 kg/m³), Transite 1000 is monolithic and non-combustible, offering excellent resistance to heat, mechanical stress, and electrical discharge. It is rated for continuous operating temperatures up to 1000°F (538°C), making it ideal for demanding thermal and electrical applications.
Composed of portland cement and selected non-asbestos fibers, Transite 1000 is hydraulically pressed and oven-cured for outstanding dimensional stability and durability. It can be precisely machined into intricate parts while maintaining structural integrity. Neutral gray in color, it contains no asbestos, mercury, or lead, and is classified with a flame spread of 0 and smoke developed index of 0 per ASTM E84.
Transite 1000 is available in thicknesses from 1/2" (12.8 mm) to 3" (76.2 mm), in sheet sizes up to 48-5/8" × 96-5/8" (1235 mm × 2454 mm).
