Enhance the safety of your building with Astro PFP FR Boards, designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through openings in fire rated walls and floors where openings are formed to allow the installation of multiple building services.
The Astro PFP FR Board consist of a high density stone wool core that is coated on both sides with Astro PFP FR Coating. The top coating provides additional protection by significantly reducing the permeability of the stone wool core and preventing the passage of hot gases, thus reducing the temperature rise on the unexposed side and reducing heat conduction through the building services.
These fire-resistant boards are specifically engineered to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, ensuring the integrity of your building's fire-rated structures. On site, Astro PFP FR Board must be used together with Astro PFP Acrylic for sealing around building services, joints and edges of the FR Board and the surrounding construction.
Key Features:
- Astro PFP FR Boards: These boards are designed to fit seamlessly into fire-rated walls and floors, offering unmatched fire resistance and smoke control. These fire-resistant boatrds may be installed in gypsum walls with or without framing around the opening and can be patress fitted. Once fully cured, the board resists UV, humidity and frost.
- High-Density Core: Consisting of a high-density stone wool core, Astro PFP FR Boards effectively reduce heat conduction and temperature rise on the unexposed side.
- Flexible Coating: Coated on two sides with Astro PFP FR Coating, providing enhanced durability and flexibility to accommodate smaller movements during fire. Thyy are permanently flexible and will accommodate movements during fire and smaller movements in the construction it has been fitted within.
- Acoustic Performance: Maintains acoustic design performance in fire-rated constructions, ensuring that sound insulation is not compromised.
Applications:
- Fire-Rated Walls and Floors: Perfect for use in constructions with or without building services, including openings for multiple installations.
- Gypsum Walls: Suitable for installations with or without framing, ensuring versatility in various building designs.
- Patress Fittings: Openings can be patress fitted to allow easy installation and inspection of fire-stopping measures.
Installation and Maintenance:
- Easy Installation: Designed to allow the installation of multiple building services, reducing the complexity of fire-rated constructions. On site, Astro PFP FR Board must be used together with Astro PFP Acrylic for sealing around building services, joints and edges of the FR Board and the surrounding construction.
- Inspection: Facilitates easy inspection of fire-stopping measures to ensure ongoing compliance with fire safety regulations. Reference should be made to ASFP TGD 17 – Code of Practice for the Installation and Inspection of Fire Stopping.
- Repair and Maintenance: Can be repaired if necessary, ensuring long-term performance and safety.
Regulatory Compliance:
- ASFP TGD 17: Compliant with the code of practice for the installation and inspection of fire-stopping measures.
- Regulatory Reform Order: Ensures adherence to fire safety regulations and standards.
