Class A1 Fire-Rated Gypsum Systems for High-Stakes Architecture

Detailed Product Description

The Science of Time: Class A1 Fire-Rated Gypsum Systems for
High-Stakes Architecture In modern structural engineering, fire safety is measured in
minutes. Our Class A1 Non-Combustible Gypsum Board is engineered to
serve as a critical thermal shield, delaying the transfer of heat
through partitions and ceilings. By integrating high-purity calcium
sulfate dihydrate with advanced fiberglass reinforcement, we
provide a passive fire protection solution that prioritizes
occupant safety and structural integrity during localized thermal
events. The Endothermic Defense Mechanism Beyond simple insulation, our boards utilize a chemical fire-suppression process. The gypsum core contains approximately 21% chemically combined water. When exposed to intense heat, this water is released as steam, creating a thermal barrier that maintains the board's temperature at 100°C until the crystallization water is exhausted. This "calcination" process is what grants our 12mm and 15mm systems their certified 60 to 120-minute ratings. Engineering Advantages & Reliability
Technical Specifications & Compliance
Global Project Reference: Nexus International Hospital Project Scope: The expansion of a 500-bed multi-specialty facility requiring
90-minute fire-rated separation for oxygen storage rooms and
emergency corridors. Our Contribution: We supplied over 120,000 m² of 15mm Reinforced Fire-Rated Board. Our technical team worked directly with the MEP consultants to design a staggered double-layer system that met the 120-minute local fire department requirement while achieving an STC rating of 52dB for patient privacy. The Outcome: The project passed third-party thermal imaging tests and smoke-leakage inspections on the first attempt, saving the contractor weeks in the certification phase. Primary Applications
Logistics & Protection We understand that board integrity is as important as its fire rating. All exports are packed using moisture-resistant PE-wrapping on reinforced wooden pallets with edge protectors. Every shipment includes a Batch Certification Report, ensuring full traceability from the raw gypsum mine to your construction site. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I distinguish between your fire-rated and moisture-rated
boards? A: For safety and easy inspection, our fire-rated boards feature a pink or red face paper. This allows architects and fire marshals to verify correct installation at a glance. Q: Can these boards be used in exterior applications? A: These are designed for interior use. For external soffits or areas exposed to direct weathering, we recommend our specialized cement-based or glass-mat sheathing boards. Q: Does the board lose its fire rating if it is cut or drilled? A: The fire resistance is inherent to the core material. However, penetrations for cables or pipes must be sealed with approved intumescent fire-stop sealants to maintain the system's overall rating. |
