Material Description
Cafco FENDOLITE® TG is a trowel applied, factory controlled premix based
on vermiculite and Portland cement. It is used with potable water to be added on site.
Cafco FENDOLITE® TG will not fail suddenly after the prescribed fire
resistance period but will continue to offer a predictable level of fire protection (insulation) for the duration of the fire.
Cafco FENDOLITE® TG is ideal for application by trowel in interior and
fully exposed environments.
A health and safety data sheet is available from the Promat Technical Department and, as with
any other materials, should be read before working with the
spray. The spray is not classified
as a dangerous substance so no special provisions are required regarding the carriage and the
disposal of the product to landfill. They can be placed in an on-site skip with other general
building waste which should then be disposed by a registered contractor.
Advantages
|
Structures protected with Cafco FENDOLITE® TG can provide fire resistance for up to 240 minutes. |
|
Cafco FENDOLITE® TG is applied by plastering techniques
enabling repairs to be completed without the need to introduce spray plant onto the site. |
|
The effectiveness of Cafco FENDOLITE® TG will not be
impaired or destroyed by the effects of water impingement/thermal shock from fire hoses or sprinkler systems. It will remain
in place and not be affected by wind turbulence. |
|
Resistant to impact damage thus able to meet the specification within environments where durability is essential. |
|
May be leveled to present a trowelled finish. |
|
Can be easily removed and reinstated locally when additional fixings are required. |
