Applying fire-resistant materials or treatments to existing insulation or the surfaces around it to enhance a building's fire resistance.
There are various methods of fireproofing over insulation. Fire-Resistant Coatings which consist of Intumescent Paints and Fire-Resistant Sealants or Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRMs) consisting of Mineral Fiber or Cement-Based Sprays. Fireproofing over insulation enhances the fire safety of a building by protecting insulation materials, maintaining structural integrity, and ensuring compliance with fire-resistance codes.
DC315 is an intumescent coating, which means it expands when exposed to high temperatures. This expansion forms a charred layer that insulates the underlying materials, delaying the transmission of heat and improving fire resistance. It can be applied directly over insulation materials such as spray foam or on surfaces around them.
DC315 is tested and certified according to various fire-resistance standards and codes, making it suitable for use in applications where compliance with fire safety regulations is required.
Monokote MK-6 is primarily composed of cementitious materials, which means that it uses cement as a key ingredient. This composition allows it to form a durable, fire-resistant layer that can be applied to various substrates. When exposed to high temperatures, Monokote MK-6 forms an insulating char layer that helps protect the underlying substrate from heat and flames. This is a key feature of cement-based fireproofing materials.
MONOKOTE® Z-3306 thermal barrier is a cementitious fire protective coating specifically formulated for application over rigid, urethane and polystyrene foam plastics. Spray applied to interior foam surfaces on walls and ceilings, the product forms a hard, durable, monolithic thermal barrier against heat and fire.
The fire-resistant coatings are designed to enhance the fire resistance of building assemblies and insulation materials. The compliance with fire safety standards makes these valuable products popular for improving the overall fire safety of structures. Additional benefits include:
Optimal CoatingDC315 can withstand temperatures up to around 1500°F (815°C) for extended periods. It’s designed to maintain its integrity and continue protecting the substrate in extreme conditions. MK6 also forms an insulating layer when exposed to high temperatures. It can withstand temperatures similar to DC315. Z-3306 generally provides good thermal insulation properties. It forms a protective char layer under high heat.
VersatilityDC315 can be applied over a variety of substrates, including insulation materials, concrete, steel, and other building surfaces. MK6 can be applied to steel, concrete, and other substrates. Both are suitable for use in commercial buildings, residential properties, and industrial facilities. DC315 is also used in areas with high visibility due to its paint-like finish.
Uniform CoverageDC315, MK6 & Z-3306 is typically applied in multiple coats to achieve the desired thickness and required fire-resistance rating. The application process involves using spray, brush, or roller methods. Achieving a seamless coat requires careful application to avoid any gaps, inconsistencies, or thin spots.
