Fireproof board

Fireproof Board 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 resistant property.

Apart from fire rating properties, Fireproof Board 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. Fireproof 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. Fireproof Board is classified as non-combustible when tested in accordance with BS 476: Part 4, BS EN ISO 1182 and GB8624: Grade A. Many fire resistant constructions such as wall, ceiling, duct, protected shaft or cavity barrier had used Fireproof Board as the core element. As revealed from the tests, Fireproof Board is capable of resisting fire attack up to 1200°C for 240 minutes.
