FireKem FP-900® High Performance Calcium Silicate Board. Fire Protection against internal and external fires for up to 240 minutes
Kemwell FireKem FP-900® is an easy-to-install, clean and lightweight, non-combustible calcium silicate fire protection building board. It has multi-purpose applications and is commonly used for commercial and industrial building projects.
As a versatile Class 0 rated board, it is perfect for building services enclosures, particularly electrical and mechanical services enclosures, shaft walls for lifts or building services, ventilation, smoke outlet, and kitchen extract ducts
The inherent alkalinity of the board makes it anti-bacterial, meaning it is suitable for use in conditions where hygiene is of concern, such as in hospitals or food preparation areas.
It provides superior fire resistance performance and excellent dimensional stability under heat and severe moisture environments making it an ideal choice for a variety of commercial and industrial projects.
You can specify Kemwell FireKem FP-900® with confidence for Building Services applications.

FEATURES
Fire Resistance
FireKem FP-900® has outstanding fire resistance performance and the boards are approved for up to 240 minutes fire resistance according to BS 476: Part 22:1987 depending on the application.
It is capable of resisting fire up to 1200°C for 240 minutes when exposed to heating conditions of EN 1363-1. The superior non-flammable nature of FireKem FP-900® is non-combustible when tested in accordance with EN 13501-1: Class A1.
Dimensional Stability
FireKem FP-900® has excellent dimensional stability under elevated temperatures and in severe moisture environments.
Moisture Resistant
FireKem FP-900® will not deteriorate when used in damp or humid conditions and will not encourage mould growth. The boards are also rot proof. Performance characteristics are not degraded by age or moisture. Untreated surfaces will absorb water, which can cause some loss of strength, but full strength is regained after drying.
Chemical Stability
FireKem FP-900® is a chemically inert calcium silicate board, unaffected by contact with most chemicals and resistant to dilute acids and alkalis.
Acoustic Performance
FireKem FP-900® provides good acoustic reduction performance of between 26-49dB. It also provides thermal conductivity (approximately) at 20°C of 0.17 W/mK.
Easy Workability
No special equipment is required for cutting or drilling of FireKem FP-900® boards. It is recommended that cutting of the boards is carried out in well-ventilated situations, or the wearing of suitable dust masks to reduce the hazard of nuisance dust production, during the cutting or drilling process. Boards may be flat head nailed or pilot drilled, then screwed.
Smooth Surface
FireKem FP-900® has a smooth surface but due to their high suction should be first sealed prior to applying paints, plasters, or wallpapers.
Durability
FireKem FP-900® is a lightweight but strong building board. System performance is unaffected by the hazards and condition of its working environment it does not rot.
Vermin Resistant
FireKem FP-900® boards remain unaffected by rodent, termite and insect attack.
