UNIFIX system
UNIFIX is a dry building system for the construction of partitions,
curtain walls and outdoor ceilings characterized by divisions
subjected to moisture and frost, suspended ceilings and walls in
interiors with high relative moisture and high temperatures.
UNIFIX system offers excellent innovative solutions thanks to the high benefits of
UNIPAN®
panels. These panels, made up with cement and other components, are
characterized by the surface finishing with double layer of fiberglass and polymeric
coating. It makes them ideal for the external use, given that they support frost,
water and lengthy humidity conditions.
Our technical department is available to provide all necessary technical details and
choose the building solution which can better satisfy the needs of your project.

Advantages
Easy to assembly
High benefits
More useful area
Ideal for
refurbishment
Compared with the most traditional construction systems, UNIFIX with its dry
assembly allows adapt its curvature, even in the case of particularly complex
architectural constructions providing advantages both in performance and
economic results.
That becomes into significant savings due to the better performance of labor,
equipment and support structures, with an optimization in terms of logistics,
movement of materials and overall work management.
A significant saving in weight with the same wall thickness, with the advantage of
increasing the presence of insulating material and a considerable flexibility in
mounting. This allows obtaining a high performance in terms of thermal and
acoustic insulation and fire behavior and also increasing seismic resistance
compared to traditional buildings.
Some of the unique features of this system are: resistance to water, fire, frost, and
unassailable by fungi and bacteria in a saturated moisture and vapor ambient.
The reduction on fall thickness with the same performance produces an increase in
the available surface area with an obvious advantage in terms of economic yields.
It isn’t needed to reinforce the building’s structure due to the weight reduction.

Environmental Sustainability
• Less energy consumption for heating and air
conditioning resulting in lower CO emissions.
• Reduction in the consumption of resources (water
and materials), due to the controlled industrial
productive cycle.
• Less contamination in the construction and transport
phase through the weight reduction and the volume
of the materials used.
• Less weight and more useful area in the building with
the same surface.
Constructive Characteristics
• This system provides different grades of solutions
of thermic and acoustic insulation to advanced
buildings type A
• High seismic performance in lightweight structures,
due to the high ductility of the steel structures with
less total weight of the product.
• Construction of concave or convex walls in situ with
the dry bendability capacity with a radius of 150 cm
(UNIPAN board) and 15 cm (UNIFLEX board) with
12.5 mm thickness.
• High grade of salubrity, even in extreme situations,
thanks to complete inorganic components and
special production technologies that prevent the
formation of mold and moisture.

The UNIFIX system of SOLEXIN allows the designers expressing new ideas and
exploring new construction ways. Developing new models to interpret the architectural
space with an absolute originality.
UNIFLEX boards, with bendability radius of 15 cm, allow design solutions which were
unattainable until now.
There aren’t any systems with such flexibility grade; UNIFLEX is a unique and
patented system that the most innovative designers have successfully experimented.
With its high resistance characteristics able to bear the most adverse climatological
characteristics, such as high temperatures, high humid ambient and the presence of
frost.
Unlike other similar products, UNIPAN boards are classified in “A category” in the
resistance to atmospheric agents.
This classification can demonstrate through its experimental tests carried out with the
conformity of the European standard EN 12467 its suitability for applications suffering
from high temperatures, high moisture and high frosts.

Facade constructive
systems
The activity of SOLEXIN in the field of architecture is based on the implementation of
systems tailored to the needs of the customer, as part of the environmental conditions
in which builds and above all, in relation to the architectural language of the designer.
SOLEXIN systems are a set of catalogue products, but a series of systems and types
of facade that properly adapted and designed, become the solution required by the
client and the designer.
This is possible thanks to the experience of SOLEXIN with a team of engineers with
extensive experience in the fields of thermal and acoustic insulation, fire protection
and structural calculations. With the ability to communicate with customers and
offering specialized solutions in collaboration with renowned architecture firms.

Flexible solutions to environment
with ambient problems such as:
Spas
Swimming pools
Gyms
Thermal Rooms
Entertainment auditoriums
Restaurants
Discos
The system allows solutions not only in extreme situations that are characterized by
the constant presence of high moisture, such as swimming pools and spas, but also
in bays such as basements, gyms, etc... The constant presence of water and
humidity, such as in spas, requires solutions that keep dry the electrical and technical
networks.
UNIFIX system has solutions for indoor, with panels that do not alter its mechanical
characteristics with the presence of moisture (not swell) and guarantee optimal
protection. A system of partition walls that provides values of thermal and acoustic
insulation performance superior to conventional walls and easier installation of
domotic networks, both in new buildings and renovations.
The divisions are lighter and less bulky to obtain the same performance. The
assembling systems are fast and "dry-conditions" and do not require special
equipment or water treatment. The surfaces are immediately ready for the application
of the finish, thanks to the elimination of the "drying time" typical in traditional
buildings.

board
UNIFLEX is the board of concrete reinforced from 12.5 mm thick more flexible in the
market, capable of reaching a bend radius of 150 mm (for angles of 90 °) without
breaks or cracks and mostly nondeformable.
UNIFLEX is the answer to the realization of particularly flexible construction solutions.
These lightweight fiber reinforced cement boards are devoid of plaster, cellulose and
asbestos, avoiding the deterioration in presence of water.
They have therefore high durability in environments saturated with moisture, high
temperatures and also in the continuous presence of frost.
However, its main feature is the ability to adapt to any form of creativity without the
preliminary "shaping" operations. boards fit in any medium and allow to perform any
type of architecture, even to sculptural forms.
Easy and speed of installation are the characteristics of this innovative product.
UNIFLEX is used for the coating of beams and columns, arches, curved walls and
ceilings and in any case in which it is necessary to produce curved surfaces.
It provides a smooth surface resistant to the application of ceramic tiles, glass and
coatings of ceramic brick or stone materials.
It can be smoothed with Unijoint to obtain a smooth surface suitable for painting.

One of the principles of the
European Union is the free
movement of goods, this
principle applies to the
creation of a large European
single market and the
elimination of trade barriers
posed by different technical
regulations in force in each
Member State
It is therefore necessary to establish harmonized technical standards at European
level to replace the existing technical standards in different countries and at the
same time ensuring a high level of safety in the use of the products.
This requirement is a key role in the field of construction products, including a
variety of products ranging from glass, stone and similar products. Windows and
doors, plasterboard, geotextiles and membranes of the wood and of the insulation
products, also the number of people involved, manufacturing companies, public
administration, real estate, construction companies, maintenance, etc.
The high interlinkages in this sector with the influence of the customs and laws of
each country (or region) and issues related to territory and climate makes the
harmonization of technical standards and regulations is required.
Regulation nº 305/2011
This Regulation lays down conditions for the introduction on the market or
marketing of construction products by establishing harmonized rules on how to
express the performance of construction products in relation to their essential
characteristics and on the use of CE marking on those products. The regulation
also specifies that may be placed on the market only construction products suitable
for the intended use, as products with characteristics that once supplied to
construction works, they could meet the following requirements.
- Mechanical resistance and stability (to avoid collapse, deformation or other
damage)
- Safety in case of fire (in case of fire, the emergence and spread of fire and smoke is
limited and the occupants can be rescued without compromising the safety of the
rescuers at risk)
- Hygiene, health and environment (materials and components that cannot produce
toxic gases or water pollution and soil)
- Safety and accessibility in use (installation and use does not pose a risk of
accidents)
- Protection against noise (noise perceived by the occupants or people nearby should
not be detrimental to your health)
- Energy saving and thermal insulation (energy consumption during use is moderate)
- Sustainable use of natural resources (to ensure durability, recyclability and reuse of
construction and materials).
As noted above, the essential requirements are applied to both the product and the
final assembly building. A CE marking product is "a product suitable for the intended
use" is not the result of chance operations, but a process characterized by the
production control and organization of the production process. The CE mark
ensures that the construction product is in conformity with all applicable provisions
of European directives.
In particular, the CE marking is appropriate when it meets the following conditions:
- The product meets technical standards (harmonized European Standard-
Harmonized), or with the corresponding standards harmonized national standard.
- In the case where there are no harmonized standards, the product complies with
national standards recognized by the European Commission, which allows you to
benefit from the presumption of conformity. The texts of national standards that
meet the essential requirements are communicated to the Commission by the
Ministry of Industry relevant.
- The product meets European technical approval "DEE".

technical harmonization
regulation 305/2011
The CE mark indicates that the construction product meets national standards
transposing harmonized European technical standards (NEA) and the label bearing
the CE marking must indicate:
- Name and registered address of the manufacturer (or importer or distributor)
- Unique identification code of the product-type
- The last two digits of the year of the first placement of the mark
- Reference number of the declaration of performance
- Level or class of the performance declared
- Number of the harmonized standards applied or DEE
- Number of the notified body
- Intended use of the product
In summary, the CE marking has the mission to ensure the consumer (= the buyer),
confirming that marked construction products meet the essential requirements on
safety and have passed the tests required by specific technical standards. The aim is
that the manufacturer can put products on the market and cannot be confused with
another brand. The CE marking shall be affixed on the product, visibly, legibly and
indelibly marked, and if not possible, alternative packaging, alternatively in
commercial documents accompanying and fixing marks (on the product / brand /
packaging / documents) marks or inscriptions likely to avoid confusion with the CE
mark.
European technical documents
In addition to compliance with harmonized technical standards EN, a product cannot
have the CE mark unless it complies with European Assessment Document (EAD),
which will be prepared by the OEt (Agency for Technical Evaluation) at the request of
the manufacturer of the corresponding product.
The DEE " a favorable technical evaluation " of the product for the intended use
based on the correspondence to the essential requirements for building works in
which the product is to be used.
It can be issued when:
a) the product does not fall within the scope of any existing harmonized standard;
b) at least one essential characteristic of that product, the assessment method
foreseen in the harmonized standard is not appropriate, or
c) the harmonized standard does not provide for any assessment method, at least
one essential characteristic of that product.
The final concession document after evaluating the OTS renamed ETE (European
Technical Assessment) which is defined as the documented assessment of the
performance of a construction product in relation to its essential characteristics, in
accordance with the corresponding European Assessment Document.
Whenever there is a European Assessment Document can be issued a European
technical evaluation even if it had approved a mandate for a harmonized standard.
The European Technical Assessment shall include the performance to be declared,
by levels or classes, or in a description, of those essential characteristics agreed
between the manufacturer and the TAB which has lodged the application for the
declared intended use, and technical details necessary for implementing the system
of assessment and verification of constancy of performance.

Certificate of conformity
In order to fully apply the principles of quality that Regulation 305/2011 refers, is
expected to issue the certificate of conformity various tests and inspections carried out
by the authorized manufacturer and / or an authorized organism according to a system
which depends on the type of product. More simply, the manufacturer or his authorized
in the European Community representative must certify, on their own or through an
approved certification body, that the products meet the requirements of technical
specifications in accordance with the assessment procedures laid down in Regulation.
The certificate of conformity, is a system that defines the set of checks and controls to
be performed in a certain product and its implementation responsibilities between the
manufacturer and the notified body.
It consists of the following series of checks and controls:
- Initial type testing of the product (in English, initial type testing, the acronym Itt) to be
made, when appropriate, by the manufacturer or an approved body;
- Periodic testing of control samples taken at the factory, on the market or on site by
the manufacturer (self-control) or an approved body;
- Implementation of a process control system factory (Factory Production Control,
abbreviated Fpc), as a producer;
- Adoption of a control system of the manufacturing process, by an authorized body.
There are some systems of
conformity certification:
System 1+
System 1
System 2+
System 3
System 4
Conformity certification system
The certification system of conformity can be defined as the degree of seriousness with
which a product is controlled in the factory and on the market, and is defined in
Regulation 305/2011 of building products. The severity of control is indicated for each
product standard. This regulation defines the elements that characterize the
certification procedures of conformity. Certification systems of conformity, the functions
of the authorized bodies and obligations for manufacturers are detailed in the
aforementioned Regulation 305/2011 of construction products (RPC).
Application of the standard
In Spain Regulation 305/2011 is being collected by the draft royal decree that bears
his name. With regard to the timetable for implementing Regulation which is provided
for each construction product in a period of coexistence in the European market for
the products of the CE mark and CE mark products, at the end of that period, the EC
is mandatory. In practice, a period of time is left for producers to provide for applying
the requirements of regulations and the entry into force and the expiry of this period
varies depending on the product.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in
the Official Journal of the European Union. However, Articles 3-28, Articles 36-38,
Articles 56-63 and Articles 65 and 66, and Annexes I, II, III and V shall apply from 1
July 2013. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all
member States.
For flat fiber cement sheets harmonized standard EN 12467 is the reference, which
came into force on 01/01/2006 and the end of the coexistence of products CE marked
and unmarked expired on 01/01/2007.

EN 12467 standard
EN 12467 standard " flat fiber-cement sheets - Product specification and test methods"
describes the requirements that fiber-cement sheets must have (to allow use in
construction must meet the 6 essential requirements) in order to obtain the CE marking.
The standard specifies the technical requirements, define the methods of inspection
and testing and defines the conditions for the acceptance of fiber cement flat boards for
one or more of the following uses:
- Exterior coating boards
- Lining board for interior walls and ceilings
Composition, appearance and finishing
The boards considered in the standard are composed of cement or calcium silicate
formed from a chemical reaction of the siliceous and calcareous material, reinforced by
fibers. The cement must meet the requirements of EN 197-1 or alternatively the technical
specifications of the nation that uses the board. The reinforcing fibers must have the
following composition:
- Fibers selected without established provision.
- Textured continuous
- Net
The boards can have the surface " finish " or "raw”, can be colored or left in its original
color and receive transparent or colored coatings.
Classification of the board
The fiber cement sheets are divided into:
- 2 types according to their composition (At type and Nt)
- Four categories according to their weather ability (Category A, B, C, D)
- 5 classes according to their flexural strength
- 2 level according to their dimensional tolerances
As for the composition, the standard considers two types of sheets of reinforced
concrete:
- Type boards at the composition contains asbestos.
- Nt type boards whose composition does not contain asbestos.
The manufacturer shall certify the presence and release of asbestos particles and
harmful substances. In Europe it is not allowed to products containing asbestos, for
example, AT type boards cannot be used in the European market are marketed.
With respect to resistance to atmospheric agents, the standard considers the following
categories:
- cat. A boards ready to withstand conditions of high temperature, high moisture
and heavy frost
- cat. B boards arranged to withstand conditions of high temperature, moisture, and
sometimes icy. The leaves should always be protected and should not be
subject to extreme environmental conditions.
- cat. C boards for indoor applications where they can be exposed to high
temperatures and moisture, but not for the ice.
- cat. D boards for indoor applications where they can be exposed to high
temperatures and moisture, but not for the ice.

EN 12467 standard
The standard provides for the execution of specific tests to determine the
characteristics of durability of the boards, according to the category to which they
belong must be subjected to tests involving the measurement of the flexural strength
at the end of a predetermined number of freeze-thaw cycles and cycles of wetting –
drying.
For categories A, B and D, the standard provides a leak-proof water: there may be
signs of moisture on the board, but should not be the formation of water droplets. For
boards that belong to the D category should be conducted measuring water vapor
permeability.
The legislation also provides for the Evaluation of Fire reaction boards, with the
presumption that belongs to the class A1, defined by Directive 96/603 / EC in
conformity with EN 13501-1

5 classes according to
their flexural strength In regards to the flexural strength of the boards classification, it is made into 5 classes
characterized by different values of the modulus of rupture minimum " MOR “,
expressed in megapascals (MPa). The value is calculated from the average of the
tests performed on the board in both directions. Boards for categories A and B, the
minimum value of the modulus of rupture is evaluated in a "wet " environment, while
boards in categories C and D will be evaluated under "normal environmental
conditions

2 levels according to their
dimensional tolerances
In relation to dimensional tolerances, the standard identifies two levels, characterized
by the maximum values of the tolerances for the length, width, thickness, and angle
adjusting brackets. The boards must meet all the requirements related to the same
level of tolerance.
The dimensional tolerances values are:
Width and length tolerances
Nominal dimension“a” Level1 Level 2
“a” ≤ 600 mm ± 3 mm ± 4 mm
600 mm < “a” ≤ 1000 mm ± 3 mm ± 5 mm
1000 mm < “a” ≤ 1600 mm ± 0,3% “a” ± 0,5%“a”
1600 mm < “a” ± 5 mm ± 8 mm
Note: " a" is the nominal length specified by the manufacturer or width.
Thickness tolerance
Boards “without finishing”
Nominal thickness“e” Level 1 e2
“e” ≤ 6 mm ± 0,6 mm
6 mm < “e” ≤ 20 mm ± 10% “e”
“e” > 20 mm ± 2 mm
Note: "e" is the nominal thickness of the sheets.
The difference between the maximum and minimum value of the measured thickness on a
single board should not exceed 10 % of the maximum measured value.
Boards “for decorative uses”
Nominal thickness“e” Level 1 e2
“e” ≤ 6 mm – 0,6 mm + 0,9 mm
6 mm < “e” ≤ 20 mm – 10% “e” + 15% “e”
“e” > 20 mm – 2 mm + 3 mm
Note: "e" is the nominal thickness of the sheets.
The difference between the maximum and minimum values of the thickness of a
single sheet detected in 8 measures provided by the standard, should not exceed 15
% of the maximum measured value.
Tolerances for aligning the corners:
They apply only in the case of large boards (boards with greater than 0.4 m surface
and the length / width ratio greater than 3) and are shown in the following table:
