INTRODUCTION
Firewise Fire Rated Boards are designed to prevent the spread of fire from one compartment to another where mechanical and electrical services penetrate separating walls and floors, and provide up to 4 hours fire
resistance.
Firewise Fire Rated Boards consist of a high density mineral fibre slab which is factory pre-coated with a water based, fire resistant coating. When used in conjunction with Firewise fire rated coating and mastic, the boards provide an effective fire barrier for large
multiple-service openings. |
