Spray-Applied Coatings: Sand and gravel enhance the fire resistance of building elements like steel beams, concrete structures, and partitions. These coatings act as a protective barrier, preventing fire from spreading.
2. Mortar Mixes: When mixed with cement, sand, and gravel create fire-resistant mortar. This mortar is used for fireproofing joints, gaps, and openings in walls and floors
3. Precast Panels: Sand and gravel are incorporated into precast panels, which are then installed to reinforce fire safety in walls and ceilings.
Intumescent Paint: This specialized paint expands when exposed to high temperatures, forming an insulating layer that protects underlying surfaces. It’s commonly used on structural steel.
2. Vermiculite Fire Spray: Vermiculite-based sprays create effective fire barriers. They’re applied to structural elements like columns, beams, and walls.
3. Fire-Stopping Penetrations: These materials seal openings around pipes, cables, and ducts, preventing fire and smoke from spreading through wall penetrations.
4. Fire Retardant Board: These boards are used for fireproofing walls, ceilings, and floors. They provide additional insulation and delay fire propagation.
5. Speedpanel®: A revolutionary fire-rated building system, Speedpanel® combines fire resistance with acoustic performance. It’s ideal for high-rise buildings and commercial spaces.
6. Fire-Rated Ductwork Wrap: Safeguarding ventilation systems, fire-rated ductwork wrap ensures that ducts remain fire-resistant.
1. Risk Reduction: Fireproofing materials significantly reduce the risk of fire-related incidents within buildings, providing peace of mind to occupants.
2. Compliance: Using fireproofing materials ensures compliance with safety regulations and building codes.
2. Time for Evacuation: Fireproofing not only shields buildings from damage but also provides valuable time for occupants to evacuate safely and for emergency responders to intervene.
In summary, fireproofing materials are essential for enhancing building safety. By choosing the right materials and staying informed about advancements, we contribute to a more secure environment for everyone.
