Fire protection slab
PAROC FPS 17 is non-combustible stone wool insulation for use as fire protection for steel structures, chimneys, doors, furnaces and ovens.
Stone wool insulation has varying fire protection abilities that are largely dependant on the density of the material as well as the used insulation thickness. Generally speaking, the higher the density, the longer the fire protection time.
PAROC FPS 17 has a density of ~170 kg/m3. The right product for the application will be chosen based on the system provider's approval. PAROC FPS 17 has ETA approval for fire protection for steel structures. The product is easy to handle and install for different kinds of fire applications.
PAROC stone wool products are capable of withstanding high temperatures. The binder starts to evaporate when its temperature exceeds approximately 200 °C. The insulating properties remain unchanged, but the compressive stress weakens. The softening temperature of stone wool products is over 1000 °C.
