Abstract: The various embodiments herein provide a method and materials to produce non-asbestos Fiber Cement Board (FCB). According to one embodiment herein, a new material including Cement (60%-75% by weight), Acrylic fiber (1%-4% by weight), Nano silicate (1%-4% by weight), slake lime stone powder (5%-20% by weight), waste cardboard pulp paper (3%-12% by weight) and some polymeric additives are used to make FCB in the Hatcheck process. In another embodiment, a method to make FCB using this method in the Hatcheck process, only some small changes are needed. According to another embodiment, the FCB produced in this method can be used for cladding, internal wall and external walls.
