I am looking to replace and/repair several sections of a building covered with Johns-Manville Corrugated Transite Industrial Siding with a 4.2 x 1.5 corrugation. This product is a cement board with asbestos fibers and is no longer made. We are looking for a non-asbestos alternative that will closely match the properties or the original material. Specifically we need a material that is fire resistant and that will break into non-sharp pieces as a result of an overpressure event.
I have located two European manufactures that may make a suitable product, However, if anyone has found a good solution for replacement I would like to hear about it.
Also I would like to have the original sales information for Johns-Manville Corrugated Industrial Siding so that I can be sure I am comparing any new material to the original specifications. Specifically I need fire rating, any type of strength measurements, frangibility, dielectric strength, modulus of elasticity, sectional properties and anything else I can get.
I believe that this would be in Johns-Manville publication TR-45A and there was another 32 page technical publication on Transite Siding printed in the mid 1950s.
If anyone has a copy of these publications or any data I would greatly appreciate a copy.
Thank you for your consideration.
