As a Bilkent Holding company, TEPE BETOPAN established BETOPAN factory in 1984 at Ankara Beytepe Facilities with thename TEPE GROUP as it was called at the time, and pioneered the production of cement-bonded particle boards in TURKEY.In 1999, the factory was renovated using state of the art systems and its capacity was doubled. In 2001, the other Cement-

Bonded Particle board factory in ARHAVI was acquired making the Group the sole manufacturer in Turkey, and one of theleading manufacturers in the world with a capacity of 67,500 m3/year. In 2008, the transfer of the production line in Arhavi toour facilities at Bilkent, Ankara unified the production resulting in a stronger production facility and boosting the sales bothlocally and globally.

Developed by diligent and unrelenting in-house research and development, BETOPANPLUS was added in the year 2000to our product range as a more stable and durable BETOPAN. Thereby, TEPE BETOPAN hailed as a technology developercompany by starting the production and sales of BETOPANPLUS along with the cement-bonded particle board BETOPAN.

After adding BETOPANPLUS to our product range in addition to the original product BETOPAN, TEPE BETOPAN launched thewood-textured YALIPAN and stone textured TASONIT boards. Our company now holds European patents of BETOPANPLUS,YALIPAN and TASONIT.

TEPE BETOPAN, as an entity, made significant contributions to enhancing the quality and, widening the usage range of boardsthanks to the dynamism it has drawn from research and development over time and the respect it shows for production, andcontinues to do so.

1.1 - CEMENT-BONDED PARTICLE BOARD

Cement and wood have been used as two fundamentalelements of construction throughout history.

Cement and wood had been used as two separate constructionmaterials until early 1920s. Then studies were started to usea combination of the two, and most of the research activitiesfocused on the determination of the physico-chemical relationbetween the two items.

Towards the late 1920s, it became a common practice to mixcement with wood chips instead of sand.

By early 1940s, the knowledge required for turning the mixtureof cement and wood chips into a board was attained.

In 1940, the first wood fiber boards were manufactured byadding very long fibers to cement and pressing. Subsequently,the panels that were the prototypes of todays cement-bondedparticle boards were manufactured by adding shorter woodfibers to cement.

The first company to manufacture the present cement-bondedparticle boards was established in 1967 in Switzerland.Research continued since then aiming to create boardsmanufactured from versatile, practical, environment-friendlyand wholly ecological raw materials.

The 1970s witnessed the erection of cement-bonded particleboard factories one after another around the world.

1.2 - CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIAL

BETOPAN production involves use of natural and traditional materials such as wood and cement and other mineralizationmaterials not harmful to human health.

Moisture ResistanceBETOPAN is the right material required for wet areas and exterior faades for its resistance to moisture.

Water ResistanceBETOPAN swells negligibly (1.5%) when immersed in water for 24 hours.

Non-molding1- BETOPAN does not mold due to its moisture resistance.2- It is resistant to insects and pests.

3- BETOPAN does not host insects and pests due to its cement content.

Fire Resistance (European Classification)Fire resistance standard : TS EN 13501-1Burn : B1Smoke : s1Fall of particles or burning drips : d0

Fire Resistance (UK Classification)It is more resistant to fire than Class 0 according to the UK Building Regulation, Document B2, Chapter 6. According to thisregulation, Class 0 corresponds to;

Burning : B class,Smoke : s3

Fall of particles or burning drips : d2.

As it can be inferred from above;Being better than Class 0 as specified by United Kingdom Building Regulation proves that the material characteristics ofBETOPAN boards in European Standards (i.e. B1, s1, d0) are better than many products and rank higher in classifications.

Thermal insulationA BETOPAN layer of 1 cm in thickness provides the same thermal insulation as a 10 cm thick concrete. Thermal insulationprovided by a 8.4 cm thick sandwich wall covered with BETOPAN on both surfaces can be equal to that provided by 39 cmthick insulated air bricks.

Crash and Impact ResistanceThe material has the highest resistance to impact and crash among similar materials.

Machine ProcessibilityBETOPAN allows inserting lamps, opening grooves and bushings; it can be drilled and cut.

LightnessIt is a light material. For example, 10 mm thick BETOPAN weighs 13 kg/m2.

Moisture ResistanceThe product swells by 1.5% at maximum when immersed in water for 24 hours. So it exhibits superior resistance features inmoist environments compared to other similar materials (e.g. hardboard, MDF, plasterboard, OSB).

Airborne Sound InsulationTS EN 13986 ARTICLE 5.10Sound transmission loss (R) in 1 kHz - 3 kHz range,29 dB for 10 mm32 dB 18 mm

Sound Absorption

TS EN 13986 ARTICLE 5.11

Sound Absorption Coefficient:Between 250 Hz - 500 Hz: 0.10Between 1000 Hz - 2000 Hz: 0.30

Resistance to Biological AgentsThanks to its high alkalinity (pH 11-13) and density, BETOPAN is resistant to environmental factors and biological agent. Itssusceptibility to fungus and mold was tested in above-the-ground and buried conditions in extremely moist areas. No moldor fungus was detected on boards above the ground; some molding traces were detected on boards after remaining buriedunder the ground for 8 years. However, this deterioration remains at 0.9 mm thickness on the surface. The insect infestationtest conducted in open air revealed that the boards were not affected by insects.

Seismic Resistance

Lightness of BETOPAN transfers less load to the supports of the building enhancing the seismic resistance of the building.

Fire ResistanceBETOPAN boards have fire-stop characteristics.

Movement related to Ambient Moisture and TemperatureWooden material moves depending on the ambient moisture. Similarly, set cement and concrete move as the ambientmoisture changes.

The movement rate of BETOPAN is less than that of wood and more than that of set cement. The structure of BETOPAN ismuch more homogenous and the tension it creates is much less than wood; the direction and amount of movement can bepredicted, and the disadvantages can be prevented by painting and attaching methods.

During the applications, BETOPAN boards must be painted with preferably a silicone-based, alkaline-resistant paint. With the

impact of paint, movement will diminish, but will not be completely eliminated. Thus the boards must be affixed by a methodthat will allow linear movement. This will completely prevent formal movements such as hollowing and swelling up of thesurface.

4 - GETTING READYFOR APPLICATIONS

This guide mainly deals with the applications of BETOPANand also the spaces that allow the use of BETOPANPLUS inthe same applications.

BETOPAN is the cement board manufactured as a functionalproduct that can be used in all interior and exterior spaces ofa building from foundation to roof.

Our boards are not only durable, light and widely available;but can also be used in various areas other than the mainintended usage in the construction sector (poultry-houses,greenhouses, fishing, etc. in which food based healthis priority), which increases the number of reasons forpreference.

Before explaining our applications, we will touch uponsome points that require attention during assembly in thesubsequent pages.

4. 1 - CUTTING PROCESS

The best way to minimize defects is to conduct the cuttingprocess at the factory. However, it is sometimes necessary tocut the material into the required dimensions on site since thedesign is not known in advance and requires precise cuttingand assembly.

Such cutting processes are conducted on portable orstable cutting benches, with ARTIFICIAL DIAMOND BLADEand HARD METAL BLADE SAWS.(Picture 3)

Since our Plus Group products are more durable and

solid, the corners on the edges of the boards may not besmooth after individual cutting. So our companyrecommends that such edges should be FINISHED.(Picture 4)

Standard Masks and Goggles should be worn during thecutting process. (Picture 5-6)

4. 2 - SCREWING PROCESS

Screwing is easy, however there are certain points that requireattention:

First, the screwing slots should be determined andmarked on the board that will be assembled. (Picture 7)

On the marked slots, body holes will be drilled, and thencountersinks will be created with a diameter wider thanscrew diameter, which enable the screw head to beembedded in the board. Countersinks must enable thescrew head to be embedded in the board surface for 2-3

mm.

Excessive force should not be applied in order to fastenthe screw during the screwing process. Such excessivepressure not only runs the risk of cracking the board,but also causes the screw to get jammed and prevent themovement of the boards.(Picture 8)

Screws must be inserted vertically to the surface duringthe screwing process. (Picture 9)

4. 3 - PAINTING PROCESS

The Technical Support Department of our company can offerhelp when necessary before the painting process.

Our company recommends that standard masks and gogglesshould be worn during the painting process.

Our company is not liable for the damages that may arise asa result of non-compliance with the instructions in thePainting section.

Since our company does not authorize any paint manufacturerto produce paints under the name BETOPAN Paint, it isnot liable for the damages that may arise from the use of suchproducts.

a - PAINTING OF BETOPAN BOARDS TO BE USEDIN INTERIOR SPACES

If painting is to be performed before the assembly, the surface tobe painted must be cleared of dust and particles. It should alsobe dry and dust-free. Painting should be performed indoors thatallows air circulation. Tools such as paint rollers and paint gunscan be used during painting (Picture 10). Our company recommends

the application of primer on BETOPAN boards on both sides beforeassembly. Care should be taken to spread the paint evenly. (Picture 11)

If the paint is to be applied on assembled products, the point thatrequires attention is that the surface must be dry and dust-free.(Picture 12)

If BETOPAN boards are to be used in wet or moist spaces;Instructions for Painting the BETOPAN Boards to be used inExterior Spaces should be followed.

Dry Areas:

Painting of Betopan boards:

All types of paints applicable in dry spaces can be used. Polyurethane-based paints are recommended by our company.

Painting of BetopanPlus boards:All types of paints applicable in dry spaces can be used.Polyurethane-based paints are recommended in order toenhance stability.

Wet Areas:

Painting of Betopan boards:Alkaline -resistant, waterproof, preferably water-based andsilicon-added paints are recommended by our company.

Painting of BetopanPlus boards:All types of paints that do not require resistance to ultravioletrays and are applicable on concrete can be used.


20/48

20

b PAINTING OF BETOPAN BOARDS TO BE USED IN EXTERIOR AREAS

A first painting or primer should be applied first on the BETOPAN boards to be used in exterior areas. Also this process should

be conducted indoors. In order to minimize the linear and formal movements of Betopan boards, both surfaces should bepainted with an equal amount by using the same type of paints without any time interval. It is recommended that 300 g/m 2

paint must be applied on each surface including the final layer paint finishing. The final layer paint finishing can be appliedafter the assembly. (Picture 13)

Painting of Betopan boards:Alkaline - and ultraviolet - resistant, waterproof, preferably water - based and silicon - added paints arerecommended by our company.

Painting of BetopanPlus boards:Since our material is the sole faade plate in the world that exhibits the same features as concrete; all types of paintsresistant to ultraviolet rays which are used for BETOPAN and concrete can be used (acrylic - based or silicone -added paints are commonly used).

5 APPLICATIONS WITH BETOPAN ANDBETOPANPLUS

5. 1 - CONSTRUCTION OF PARTITION WALLS USINGBETOPAN AND BETOPANPLUS

BETOPAN - BETOPANPLUS can be used for building a partition wallin several ways. These application types arise from the desire toobtain different solutions especially in terms of visual appearance.

Application

Application starts by assembling U, C, H or Box profiles (Picture 14-15-16)with appropriate spacing (with maximum 625 mm distancefrom axis to axis depending on the dimensions of the product) inorder to form the bearing structure of the wall in the space wherethe partition wall will be built. After these construction elementsare robustly assembled, INSULATION MATERIAL can optionally beplaced among them from profile to profile. (Picture 17)

PARTITION WALL APPLICATIONS BY USING OMEGA PROFILE:

the first board of our BETOPAN or BETOPANPLUS products willbe affixed to the bearing profiles by using a DRYWALL SCREW. It isrecommended to use our boards with maximum 625 mm width inthis application. When the other edge of BETOPAN board reachesthe second profile, OMEGA PROFILE will be affixed so as to beplaced on the bearing profiles. Omega Profile will be affixed to thesecond bearing profile so as to take one edge of BETOPAN under itswing. Like the first screwed BETOPAN board, one edge of which wasfastened under one wing of the Omega Profile; another BETOPANboard will be similarly fastened under the other wing of the OmegaProfile, and the second Omega Profile will be affixed when theedge of the second board reaches the third bearing profile in thesame way. The Omega application performed by affixing the omegaprofiles to the Bearing profiles and affixing BETOPAN boards under

the wings of the Omega profiles is completed by covering the visiblescrews on the grooves of Omega profiles by using PVC based OmegaTapes (Picture 18). Then paint can be applied if desired. (Picture 19).

5. 2 - CLADDING PARTITION WALLS WITH BETOPANAND BETOPANPLUS

BETOPAN, BETOPANPLUS and YALIPAN can be used in differentways to clad partition walls. These types of applications generallyowe themselves to the desire to obtain different visual solutions.Since YALIPAN has the same outlook as wood, it can be usedespecially in lofts that can be exposed to roof leakage thanks toits water and fire resistance instead of wall and/or roof wainscotpaneling.

Application

The application of cladding partition walls by using BETOPAN andBETOPANPLUS boards starts with the affixation of box profilesat sufficient spacing on the walls (not wider than 625 mm fromaxis to axis depending on the product dimensions) (Picture 20).Affixation will be performed on the plumb line and scale of theseprofiles, with special hollow brick plugs especially in air bricks,so that the end of the plug enters the second hollow of the brickand gets clamped on the second wall of the brick. After this,INSULATION MATERIAL can be placed from profile to profile ifdesired. (Picture 21-22)

IF CLADDING IS TO BE PERFORMED ON AN EXISTING WALL:Instructions for Partition Wall Applications by using Omega Profiles(Article 6-1)will be applied for a single surface of the wall this time.In such cladding, sound sealing tapes will not be necessary as longas there are no holes on the existing wall. (Picture 23-24)

Picture 24


23/48

5. 3 - FORMING THE BEARING CONSTRUCTION FOR THE SIDING MATERIAL

BETOPAN and BETOPANPLUS can be used under the final product cladding material in faade claddings in several different ways.

Application

In order to perform intermediate cladding on exterior faade walls before the application of the final product by usingBETOPAN and BETOPANPLUS boards, which are necessary from time to time, the application starts with the affixation of boxprofiles at sufficient spacing on the walls (not wider than 625 mm from axis to axis depending on the product dimensions).After these profiles are robustly assembled in the plumb line and scale, INSULATION MATERIAL can be placed between themfrom profile to profile if desired.(Picture 25)

a IF BETOPAN OR BETOPANPLUS ARE TO BE APPLIED ON BOX PROFILES; edges of Betopan boards will be screwed by

SMART END DRYWALL SCREWS, at a slot whose distance to the middle axis of the box profile is equal to 0.1% of the length ofthe board placed at the same direction as the profile. In this way, the space between two BETOPAN boards will be equal to 0.1%of the total length of the boards. This space can be reduced to 0.05% in Betopanplus applications. This is why BETOPANPLUSis recommended for such applications. Application will be completed by pasting the final layer cladding material to be appliedon the faade on BETOPAN or affixing the material to the bearing construction composed of box profiles. When this is done bypasting, movement joint must be left among the cladding materials pasted on the boards over the board joints, with a widthat least equal to the width of board joints.

b IF APPLICATION IS TO BE PERFORMED BY USING M PROFILE ON BOX PROFILE,M profiles will be affixed to the middleaxes of box profiles. M Profile spacing must be maximum 625 mm, and also the affixation of Box profiles must have beenperformed on the same principles. Betopan boards will be screwed on both arms of M Profiles by using POINTED-ENDDRYWALL SCREWS, so that the distance between the edges is equal to 0.1% of the sum of the lengths of the boards on bothsides. This space can be reduced to 0.05% in Betopanplus applications. A board must not be screwed on both arms of an MProfile. If the final layer cladding material to be applied on the faade is to be pasted, THE movement joint must be left amongthe cladding materials pasted on the boards over the board joints, with a width at least equal to the width of board joints.

5. 4 - CONSTRUCTION OF MEZZANINES

Intermediate floor application is a commonly employed methodfor creating intermediate floor spaces in small spaces whereheavy construction will not be conducted.

Application

In such applications, assembly starts with fixing the bearers of theintermediate floor (Picture 26). Load bearing, spacing, stretching,etc. must be considered in the construction of intermediate floor,and the bearing construction is assembled with appropriatespacing(Picture 27). Main cover of the bearing construction willbe completed by placing metal sheets or other covers of differentthicknesses depending on calculations, followed by absolutelynecessary elements such as sound or heat insulation, or detailssuch as installation. Betopan boards of the necessary thicknessand dimensions (at least 16 mm) are placed on this cover and the

assembly is completed(Picture 28). Bearing construction spacingand the thickness of BETOPAN must be chosen in accordance withthe Load Distribution Table given in the next page. Bearers mustbe present under all edges of the BETOPAN boards used (Picture29-30). Final layer covering material (carpet, PVC, flooring, etc.)can be applied at users choice. If the covering material to beapplied is not airtight (e.g. carpet), a type of finishing must beapplied on BETOPAN boards such as polyethylene, etc. whichbalances water vapor before the covers are placed.

5. 5 - ASSEMBLY ELEMENTS USED IN THEAPPLICATIONS

Some assembly elements are used in the applications

explained in detail in this guide. These elements areexplained by providing alternative varieties so as to enablethat the most easily accessible ones can be chosen.

Sometimes different assembly elements can be used forthe same application since there are several different waysto conduct a single application.

While choosing metal-based products, care should be takenthat they are stainless and resistant products that are nottwisted due to transportation stresses.

The most appropriate information regarding the assemblyof the said boards can be obtained from the suppliers of

such boards. For this reason, it must not be neglected toobtain technical information regarding the purchasedboards before starting an application.

You can find the Table of Assembly Elements regarding theproducts and applications in the attachment.

1) These are the final load bearing capacities calculated in consideration of material safety coefficient, coefficients of irregularities that may arise from loading, and thecritical displacement ratio (L/360) according to TS 500. It indicates the total value of plate weight and live load. Calculated values in TS 498 Chart 3 should be multiplied withthe safety coefficient of 1.6 according to TS 500 and the result should be compared with the bearing capacity. For example, 314 kg/m obtained by multiplying 2 kN/m valuegiven for house and office flooring in the second row of the chart by the coefficient 1.6, will be compared with the bearing capacity.

5. 6 - CONSTRUCTION OF DROP CEILINGS

Such applications are generally the ceiling systems manufactured for spaces with high ceilings built in accordance with theproject so as to conceal installation, ventilation, etc. created by hanging or anchoring a substructure.

Application

There are several ways to make such applications, the most common of whichare given below.

In applications on BOX PROFILE; box profiles are fixed to the walls and the ceiling,and joined on the same level without any elevation difference, which forms a steelbearing construction. While forming this structure, profiles should be chosen inconsideration of the fact that the space between the edges of Betopan boardsto be used will be at least 0.05 % of the total length of the boards on both sides,and screws must be inserted at least 2.5 cm further from the edge (Picture 31).If the middle sections of the profiles affixed are painted with the same color asthe color that BETOPAN boards will be painted, there will be no color differenceperceptions on the visible joints after the assembly, and small workmanshipdefects will not be noticed. BETOPAN products will be affixed as 8 mm and withmodular cutting (maximum 50 x 50 or 60 x 60 cm). Screw heads are covered by

steel paste and painting is done. It is recommended to paint each surface of theboards used in interior settings at least with two layers with polyurethane-basedpaints (300 gm/m2) in order to minimize movement. (Picture 32)

5. 7 - CONSTRUCTION OF RAISED FLOORS

Raised floors are systems that provide efficient solutions bycreating spaces under the floor for such systems as electricity,telephone, communication data, heating, cooling, ventilationand fire installations in special areas of application such asBusiness Centers, Office Floors, Bank Buildings, ComputerCenters, Laboratories, Shopping Malls, Universities, Showrooms,Fairgrounds, Switchboard Centers, Mobile Switching Centers.(Picture 33)

Application

The application of raised floor systems that have a completelymodular structure is based on placing modular-sized Betopanboards on metal frames borne by metal piers, creating a spaceunderneath. BETOPAN products used in such applications are 28and 30 mm thick, usually in 600 x 600 mm dimensions, and willbe covered by PVC tapes. Finally, top and bottom coating materialcan be applied on the product if the user desires, which makes itready for use (Picture 34).These panels can easily be lifted andreplaced, and have high fire resistance, sound absorption andload bearing capacity (Picture 35). It is recommended to paint

each surface of the boards used in interior settings at least withtwo layers with polyurethane-based paints (300 gm/m2) in orderto minimize movement. (Picture 36)

5. 9 - USAGE ON BALCONY AND TERRACE CEILINGS,SOFFITS AND FASCIA

The grout on such parts of buildings cracks and drops in time.Betopan or Betopanplus boards are commonly used on the soffitsand fascia in order to prevent the drips and bad outlook and obtainan aesthetical outlook. The boards are screwed on box profile, Mprofile or C profile through pre-drilled guide holes depending on theconstruction element chosen (Picture 39). Care should be taken thatthe boards are used after prime coating and painted with final layerfinishing paint afterwards (Picture 40).

BETOPANPLUS boards with different textures can be used on fasciaas desired. (Picture 41-42)

Betopanplus boards create much more durable surfaces than wood,which is traditionally used for cladding soffits and fascia. (Picture43-44)

5. 10 - USAGE UNDER ROOF DECKING MATERIAL

BETOPAN products, which offer advantages in roof systems in respect of the problems frequently experienced in traditionalproducts such as insufficient water resistance, difficulty of assembly, a high number of joints etc. are screwed directly on roofjoists. Preferred water insulation material is placed on BETOPAN boards, and after these are fixed, the assembly is concludedby applying the final layer roof coating. Roof coating must be fixed to BETOPAN boards by means of screws; nails must not beused. When the BETOPAN boards are applied on joists, attention must be paid that each edge is placed on one joist or othersupport (Picture 45).

5. 14 - IN PREFABRICATED BUILDINGS

There are different ways to apply Betopan and BETOPANPLUSboards, which are commonly used in prefabricated houses,containers, houses with steel system, and cabinets dependingon the area of use.a WALL CONSTRUCTION

First, sandwich panels will be constructed with the BETOPAN orBETOPANPLUS products that will be used in wall construction inprefabricated and similar applications so as to contain insulationmaterials in between; then these panels will be placed in the

steel bearing construction s (H, C, U Profiles) of the PrefabricatedBuilding. A primer coating and final layer paint finishing will beconducted after the application.

b FLOORING SYSTEM

Before starting the assembly of Betopan boards to be used in floorconstruction in prefabricated buildings, containers and similarapplications, the steel structure elements that will bear the load on thefloor will be assembled with appropriate spacing (should be designed

according to the thickness of the Betopan boards to be placed, spacesbetween structures, and the maximum load planned to be borne)(Picture 53). After the completion of the works such as insulation, etc.that will be placed underneath the floor depending on the systems ofcompanies, the application is finished by placing Betopan boards sizedaccording to the bearing construction or chosen in standard sizes on,and sometimes in, the bearing construction (Picture 54). Then finallayer covering material will be applied upon users desire (carpet, PVC,flooring, etc.). Polyethylene or similar vapor balancer will be placedunder covers which allow vapor transmission, such as carpet.

c CONSTRUCTION OF INTERMEDIATE FLOORS

Multi-storey applications are encountered in prefabricated andsimilar applications from time to time. The assembly in such

applications goes on with fixing the bearers of the intermediatefloor after the application of the lower floor is completed.Again, the main bearing construction must be assembled withappropriate spacing in consideration of principles such as loadbearing taken into account in floor construction (Picture 55). Thebearing construction will be covered with metal sheet if necessary.Thermal and sound insulation, and installation are placed in thebearing construction (Picture 56). The assembly is completed byapplying BETOPAN boards with the necessary size and dimensionson the metal sheet or the bearing construction (Picture 57-58).Final layer covering material (carpet, PVC, flooring, etc.) can beapplied upon users choice (Picture 59). If the covering materialto be applied is not airtight (e.g. carpet), a type of finishing mustbe applied on BETOPAN boards such as polyethylene, etc. whichbalances water vapor before the covers are placed. BETOPAN orBetopanplus can be applied under the bearing construction uponpreference.

d CONSTRUCTION OF WET AREAS

The most preferred board in prefabricated and similar applications,BETOPAN is widely used in the construction of wet areas. BETOPANand Betopanplus boards to be used in the construction walls are turned

into sandwich panels by using insulation material and affixed to theirslots(Picture 60). Steel profiles are used as bearers in the assembly.There are several points that require attention in the application ofceramic products on the wet area walls covered with BETOPAN, thejoints of which can be concealed afterwards by means of cover profilesat times. Polyurethane paste must be used while ceramic products areapplied on BETOPAN or Betopanplus (Picture 61). When the ceramictile that corresponds to joints is being glued, it must not be glued onboth boards, but only on the board on which the larger part of the tileoverlaps. Picture 60
