Passive Fire Protection
Allproof Industries has an extensive testing program with Independent IANZ accredited fire testing laboratories and is consistently working with industry to provide exceptional products that can help overcome issues regularly faced on site. The passive fire protection products offered from Allproof are designed to contain a fire in the compartment of origin, thus limiting the spread of fire and smoke for a limited period of time. The fire ratings and installation details are illustrated in this document.
All products are tested to AS1530.4 – 2005 and AS4072.1 – 2005.
The passive fire protection products designed to protect service penetrations are tested using an open/closed format. That is, the pipe is capped on the fire side during the test and is open on the non fire side. When fire testing plastic pipes, 2m of pipe projects out of the supporting construction (wall or floor) and is deemed to be representative of general pipe systems – Soil, Waste and Vent, water supply and reticulation.
Advanced Intumescent Technology
At the core of the Allproof passive fire protection product range is the advanced intumescent technology. This enables Allproof to offer products with performance and design advantages for engineers and installers of passive fire protection products. Allproof’s intumescent material expands when exposed to heat and as its volume increases with significant expansion pressure it produces a stable char. The intumescent char formed is a poor conductor of heat, retarding heat transfer and retaining the integrity and insulation of service penetrations through otherwise fire-resistance rated walls or floors.
Allproof Intumescent technology:
- Flexible rubber-like composition allows easy handling
- Graphite based
- Moisture resistant
- Silver/Grey in colour
- Excellent expansion pressure and volume
- Material stable after expansion
