ABOUT PAREFEU PANEL TECHNOLOGY
Parefeu Panel is made from special fire-rated minerals that have been reinforced with palm fibres and glass fibres in a bond matrix. It contains no harmful substances such as VOCs, asbestos, silica dust and formaldehyde. Parefeu Panel is ideal solution to give a natural timber look to any typical building board application. It is perfect for interior and external walls and can serve multipurpose uses. It is easy to handle, easy to work with and has good durability. Its long service life can also provide a long term cost effective solution.
Unlike cement boards, the process of manufacturing Parefeu Panel does not create air pollution and unlike plywood, it does not consume timber to produce. It is also superior to gypsum board which lacks tensile strength and had almost zero resistance to water.
APPLICATIONS
Parefeu Panel is suitable for external use as it will not buckle or warp, rot or decay and because it can withstand high impact and abrasion. The board is simple to work with and easy to fix. Parefeu Panel is suitable for use as fireproof material in internal and external wall panels in residential, commercial and industrial settings.
parefeu creates sustainable solutions
for a safer and greener future.

What is Parefeu Panel?
Parefeu Panel is a new proprietary, patented composite building material primarily made from Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Chloride, with additional natural mineral components and palm fibre filler, sandwiched between fine fiberglass mesh.
What are the characteristics of Parefeu Panel?
Parefeu Panel is a new kind of green building material with many beneficial features such as:
- Fireproof – Material is non-combustible
- Moisture-resistant – Excellent moisture-resistant ability
- Soundproof – Good noise insulation properties
- Waterproof – The rate of water absorption is 20%. The low level of absorption indicates that water cannot penetrate through the material and is good for use as roofing and external walls
- Easy to work with – Parefeu Panel can be readily cut, sawed, nailed, glued, painted and veneered
- Good finish – The smooth surface is suitable for a wide range of surface treatments including overlay, wallpapering and painting
Parefeu Panel is good environment product?
- The palm oil industry produces a large amount of waste and, currently, only a small percentage of the waste is used while the remaining waste is left to either decay at plantations or are dumped into landfills.
- Parefeu panel uses palm oil waste as a main ingredient in the formulation of the product in order to divert the waste from landfill and to ensure the future protection of plantation resources.
- Parefeu Panel also contains no toxic materials, such as asbestos, formaldehyde and ammonia.
What makes Palm board green?
- Parefeu Panel requires less than half the energy to produce when compared to conventional backer boards. This making the product have a much lower carbon impact on the environment.
- Parefeu Panel weighs less than conventional backer boards, meaning more material can be shipped per truckload, again lowering the carbon footprint.
- 100% of the post-industrial waste from the Parefeu Panel plant is recycled into future production runs, reducing landfill impact.
- Parefeu Panel contains no harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde, asbestos, or silica dust, and it will not grow mould or mildew. It contributes to a healthier indoor environment.
- Parefeu Panel contains no ingredients that are harmful to the planet when it is disposed.
- Parefeu Panel makes use of oil palm waste that otherwise would be burned, left to decay or dumped into landfills. Oil palm waste is a source of pollution if not utilised.
Is Parefeu Panel dimensionally stable in freezing, thawing, heating and humidity cycles?
Yes it is. The coefficient of expansion for Parefeu Panel is extremely low. When selecting and installing products such as our exterior lap siding, there is no need to leave gaps between butt joints to accommodate expansion and contraction. This provides a much more aesthetically pleasing finish for many years to come.
What are the adhesion values of Parefeu Panel?
Excellent adhesion values allow you to finish Parefeu Panel with any product you desire such as paint, Portland type stucco, synthetic stucco, wallpaper, stone, tile, brick and much more. The excellent adhesion properties of Parefeu Panel also makes it a perfect product for Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS), Exterior Insulated Finish Systems (EIFS) and interior wall systems using fabrics.
In what applications can I use Parefeu Panel?
Parefeu Panel products are extremely versatile and can be applied to internal and external uses. There are many product applications.
What are the pores that appear on the board’s surface? Will they affect the strength of the board?
Parefeu Panel is produced by a low energy manufacturing process that binds natural and eco-friendly fibre in a magnesium oxide matrix. The tiny pores and slight color variations which may appear on the board’s surface are a natural occurrence and do not, in any way, affect the board’s performance and physical properties. Storage and material handling Parefeu Panel can be handled and stacked much like drywall or gypsum board. Parefeu Panel can be delivered and handled by conventional building supply delivery vehicles shipped on sturdy pallets.
