Transite® HT is a high-density, non-asbestos fiber cement board engineered for structural durability, thermal stability, and electrical insulation. With a nominal density of 100 pcf (1602 kg/m³), Transite HT is monolithic and non-combustible, offering outstanding strength and resistance to heat, impact, corrosion, and chemical exposure. It is rated for continuous operating temperatures up to 450°F (232°C) and can withstand up to 600°F (315°C) with proper initial heat conditioning.

Composed of portland cement and selected non-asbestos, non-ceramic fibers, Transite HT is hydraulically pressed and air-cured for superior machinability. It is neutral gray in color with a standard 24-grit sanded finish, and contains no asbestos, mercury, or lead. Transite HT is also classified with a flame spread of 0 and smoke development of 0 per ASTM E84.

Transite HT is available in thicknesses from 1/4" (6.4 mm) to 3" (76.2 mm), in sheet sizes up to 48-5/8" × 96-5/8" (1235 mm × 2454 mm).

  • Performance and Testing

    Transite HT is rated Class A with a 0-0 Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Index per ASTM E84. It passes the UL 723 and ASTM E136 fire test methods and demonstrates excellent electrical insulation properties, with a volume resistivity of 7.1 × 10¹⁰ ohm-cm and a dielectric strength of 35 volts/mil per ASTM D257 and D495. Transite HT also meets or exceeds industry standards for non-combustibility, thermal stability, and mechanical durability, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Applications

Applications include industrial and electrical systems requiring strength, thermal stability, and electrical insulation. It is commonly used for load-bearing gaskets, press plates, machine guards, spacers, and structural supports. Transite HT is ideal for laboratory benchtops, fume hood linings, and component mounting plates. Electrical applications include busbar supports, transformer spacers, terminal strips, arc shields, coil supports, and collars. It also performs well in high-heat environments such as oven shelving, soldering plates, welding shields, splash guards, and furnace walls.

Installation and Fabrication

Transite HT panels are dense, durable, and easy to machine, making them well-suited for conventional fabrication and installation methods. They can be cut and routed using standard dry-cutting techniques with diamond-segmented blades and high-abrasion-resistant router bits. Transite HT can be installed directly to framing members using screws, bolts, or mechanical fasteners through predrilled oversized holes. The panels are recommended for interior, non-structural applications and can be shaped into fine, intricate parts with excellent dimensional stability.
