Passive fire protection gives you time when it matters

Fire-rated wall and ceiling systems are rated based on their ability to withstand fire exposure for a specific period, typically expressed in hours, without failing. These ratings are determined through standardized fire tests, such as SANS 10177:2 ,ASTM E119 or UL 263, which evaluate the system's structural integrity, ability to prevent fire penetration, and capacity to limit the temperature rise on the non-exposed side.

During testing, the wall or ceiling assembly is constructed according to specific design parameters, including materials like gypsum board, framing, insulation, and any required coatings or sealants. The assembly is then subjected to a controlled fire in a furnace, where it is exposed to high temperatures that simulate real fire conditions. The time it takes for the system to fail, either by allowing fire or excessive heat to pass through or by collapsing, determines its fire rating. Common ratings include 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours, with higher ratings indicating greater fire resistance. These ratings are crucial for building code compliance and ensure that the construction provides adequate protection in the event of a fire.

Passive Fire protection is always on duty

Passive fire protection is a crucial aspect of any building's safety measures. It works silently in the background, always on duty to protect the occupants and the structure from the devastating effects of fire. With its ability to contain and slow down the spread of fire, passive fire protection is an essential investment for any property owner.
