FireMaster® Expanding Paper is a thin, flexible material that expands on heat exposure to provide thermal insulation and fire protection when exposed to fire or heat. The expansion ratio can be engineered within the range of: 1 to 12:1 to suit application requirements. The expansion property results from the use of stabilised graphite within the paper manufactured using Thermal Ceramics low biopersistence Superwool® fibres to provide a range of refractory and thermal insulation performance. Typical activation temperature: >190°C (374°F) with a measured expansion at 450°C (842°F). Density: Varying from 230kg/m³ to 390kg/m³ Features Products are completely flexible Available in rolls, sheets, narrow spools or gaskets Good thermal properties Unidirectional expansion Range of expansion ratio can be engineered between 3:1 to 12:1 Thicknesses from 1mm to 3mm Benefits Non toxic Low smoke Extremely stable when exposed to temperatures from ambient up to 1100°C (2012°F) The wide range of expansion ratios allows flexibility in choice of product suitable for the exact requirement of the end use application Applications The product is normally incorporated into engineered fire-rated components to provide a sealing function during fire exposure. Typical end-use applications are: Glazing screens Pipe wraps Fire doors industrial Fire rated services Fire rated grills Fire rated electrical boxes / down lights Fire rated air conditioning units
