Effectiveness against Blue Stain is Class 0 (EN 152)Ĭladding boards are available in several width and different profiles, allowing various installation methods.Biological durability is Class 1 (EN 350 / ENV 807) and Class 1 (EN 350 / EN 113).Afterwards, the strands undergo a heat treatment at 200☌ 5.
MOSO INTERNATIONAL SKIN
Moso bamboo stems are then split, and their inner and outer skin is removed. Bamboo stems are harvested after 4-5 years of growth 3. Reaction to fire is Class B-s1 d0 (EN 13501-1) Moso bamboo is managed as an agricultural crop 2.Resistance to indentation, its Brinell hardness is ≥ 9,5 kg/mm2 (EN 1534).Dimensional stability in length is + 0,1 %, and width is + 0,9% (24 hours in water 20☌).Official LCA studies (ISO 14040/44) by Delft University of Technology have confirmed that through the fast growth and use as bio-energy in end-of-life a large amount of CO2 is fixed or substituted, which more than compensates for the low amount of CO2 released during the efficient production and transportation.Īpplication of MOSO Bamboo X-treme cladding may contribute to a higher BREEAM and LEED score.
MOSO INTERNATIONAL FULL
The giant bamboo species MOSO grows to maturity within 5 years (compared to over 50 years for most hardwood species) and can therefore act as the green alternative for scarce tropical hardwood.ĬO2 neutral over full life cycle. Sustainable, ecological and highly renewable. With a hardness of 9,5 kg/mm2 Brinell, a density of 1200 kg/m3, and dimensional stability which is superior to the best tropical hardwood species, MOSO Bamboo X-treme can be effortlessly applied in heavy duty residential and commercial projects. Due to the heat treatment Bamboo X-treme is classified by SHR in the highest durability class 1 in outdoor applications according to EN113 / EN 350-1 Key characteristics of MOSO Bamboo X-treme Cladding:Įxtremely durable. Bamboo X-treme will naturally turn grey over time when exposed to outdoor circumstances (like any other wood species). It also increases the stability and density, and consequently the hardness.įurthermore, contrary to similar wood-based products, this product reaches fire safety class B-s1 d0 (EN 13501-1) without impregnation with expensive and eco-damaging fire retardants. A special heat treatment process provides Bamboo X-treme with the highest durability class possible in the appropriate EU norms. The jury also found that the method of manufacturing Bamboo X-treme infringed the ‘578 patent. A unanimous twelve-person jury found that MOSO’s Bamboo X-treme infringed United States Patent 8,709,578 (the ‘578 patent). MOSO Bamboo X-treme cladding is a solid, high-density exterior bamboo board, made from compressed bamboo strips. The ‘578 patent is owned by Dasso International, Inc.
