IFP 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 IFP 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 IFP fire rated coating and mastic, the boards provide an effective fire barrier for large multiple-service openings.

Performance

When exposed to the heat of a fire, the excellent thermal insulation properties of IFP Fire Rated boards provide an effective barrier, preventing the passage of fire and elevated temperatures. The fire resistant coating and mastic seal around services and board joints provide a further barrier to the passage of cold smoke.

Application

Supply and install IFP Fire Rated Boards to provide up to (1, 2, 3 or 4) hours fire resistance to all floor/wall openings. Installation to be in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

Fire Rated Coating and Mastic

The use of IFP Fire Rated Coating and Mastic is an essential element in the performance of the system. The mastic provides an ideal medium for filling the small gaps between cables, pipes etc. thus contributing to the effectiveness of the fire and smoke sealing performance. The Fire Rated Coating is used to coat the services, the edges of all openings, and the cut edges of the Fire Rated Boards to ensure that the system is adequately bonded together and to the substrate so as to form an effective fire barrier.
