/in General /by Pyroplex LtdIn some applications such a pipe sealing penetrations, the intumescent material can withstand 4 hours fire resistant.
What is the temperature that the intumescent will react?
/in General /by Pyroplex LtdThe intumescent material will start to expand in volume when exposed to temperatures greater than 180°C.
What is the expansion rate of the material?
/in General /by Pyroplex LtdThe 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.
How does the product work in a fire situation?
/in General /by Pyroplex LtdThe 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.
