Fire Protection of rectangular and square steel ductwork. Insulating ductwork can be beneficial for reducing thermal transmission as well as protecting the structure in the event of a fire which can amount to costly damages. DuctRock® Slab can provide up to 2-hours’ fire protection to ductwork in addition to fire resistance where they pass through fire rated walls and floors. This provides assurance that fire cannot spread unseen through ducting around a building. DuctRock® Slab is composed of high density, non-combustible mineral wool insulation, finished with a high emissivity black foil facing. FIREPRO® Glue and high performance Black Aluminium Foil Tape are available for sealing all board joints. The DuctRock® Slabs are readily available in three thicknesses, are easy to handle and simple to install. The slabs can be installed using stud welded pins, steel washers and FIREPRO® Glue, and are easy to cut with a hand saw or circular/table saw. DuctRock® Slab has been tested to the latest harmonised European standard and is capable of achieving a fire resistance up to EI 120, up to 2-hours’ fire protection for rectangular ventilation and smoke extract ducts and up to 1 hour fire protection to ducts with a combustible lining (kitchen extract) ducting. The solution is typically used in commercial and industrial settings where they travel throughout the building passing through fire rated walls and floors. Accreditations: DuctRock® Slab has been tested in accordance with BS EN 1366-1 for ventilation ducts and BS EN 1366-8 for smoke extract ducts
