Why is the product not CE marked as the intumescent is a life safety device?
There is currently, no requirement or indeed a harmonised product standard available for these materials.
There is currently, no requirement or indeed a harmonised product standard available for these materials.
The materials can be welded using various polymer welding techniques, including mechnical stapling and fixings, including gluing. Further information available upon request.
There are not restrictions in terms of thicknesses can be extruded with our materials, however, we would recommend consulting with our technical team in the 1st instance.
The material will produce fumes like most polymeric compounds, see the MSDS for further information and guidance – decomposition phases should be avoided.
Refer to the Material safety data sheet for further guidance. The only product which contains such fibres is the Pyroplex mineral fibre sheet, all other intumescent materials do not contain such articles in the formulation.
The material does not can any materials which have been subject to REACH compliance. Pyroplex continues to monitor any materials or articles which require may be identified as subjects of very high concern, if any changes we will notify our clients directly.
In some applications such a pipe sealing penetrations, the intumescent material can withstand 4 hours fire resistant.
The intumescent material will start to expand in volume when exposed to temperatures greater than 180°C.
The expanded volume varies depending upon the end use application of the product, with a minimum expansion volume of x18 original volume with a maximum expanded volume of x25 times.
The reactive element within the Pyroplex intumescent material is based upon a thermally expanded graphite. When exposed to elevated temperatures, greater that 180°C, the material will start to expand in volume and continue to expand exponentially with exposure to increase temperatures.
