Introduction
FirePro is a high quality laminated calcium
silicate board. It does not contain asbestos or other inorganic
fibers and is free from formaldehyde. It is a strong and lightweight
non-combustible building board for use in many fire resisting
applications up to 240 minutes fire rating performance to
international standards including BS, GB, and ISO. FirePro
is made of special fire resistance minerals materials and
has undergone a sophisticated process. It is simple to work
and fix, easy to decorate, resistance to the effects of moisture
and will not rot and decay. The board is manufactured to ISO
9001 quality management system and has obtained the Green
Label Award issued by National Environmental Protection Bureau.
Description
FirePro
is off-white in color and has a smooth sanded surface on
one side and a slightly textured reverse. It consists of
fire rated minerals and calcium silicate matrix reinforced
with selected fibers and special fillers. The board is then
cured under an autoclave process where high pressure and
steam is induced to ensure its intrinsic fire resistance
property.
Apart from fire rating properties, FirePro is also an ideal
building board for use in constructions where there is a
need for resistance to damp or high humidity. It contains
no water soluble additives and will not rot, degrade or
deteriorate. The board will absorb water causing some loss
of strength, which is fully recovered on drying. Any staining
on the board caused by leakage can be easily painted over.
Moisture will not cause leaching or efflorescence and has
no permanent effect on the board. FirePro are classified
as non-combustible when tested in accordance with BS 476:
Part 4, GB8624: Grade A and ISO 1182. Many fire resistance
constructions such as wall, ceiling, duct, protected shaft
or cavity barrier had used FirePro as the core element.
As revealed from the tests, FirePro is capable of resisting
fire attack up to 1200 C for 240 minutes. Please consult
