Application

Suitable for the passive fire protection of steel, concrete, concrete sheet composite slab structural elements, fire compartmentation and firestop strips.

Description

Gypsum-based fireproof mortar with thermal insulation properties for passive fire protection.

Features and benefits:

  • Formulation with light high performance fillers.
  • Non-combustible.
  • Can be sprayed by discontinuous machine to improve its performance by 15%.
  • Asbestos-free – complies with regulations 2003/18/EC and RD 396/2006.
  • Good adhesion on different substrates.
  • Light and low abrasion with the use of spraying equipment, saving on consumables.
  • Low protection thicknesses, saving on transport and labour.
  • Wide range of fire solutions.

Apparent density

350 +/-15% kg/m³.

Cured density

Discontinuous machine: ≥ 480 +/-15% kg/m³.
Continuous machine: 550 +/-15% kg/m³.

Guidance for specification option:

Discontinuous machine:

Average value obtained under laboratory conditions, with a mixing speed of 60 rpm for 90 seconds. If any of these parameters are modified, both the final density and the performance could vary. Lower density at higher speed, and higher density with a shorter mixing time.

Continuous machine:

Average value obtained under laboratory conditions.

Manufacturer guidance

Hardened density.
