Vermiculite Fire Spray

Vermiculite Fire Spray

Bowsers are experts in vermiculite fire spray installation, a key solution in enhancing the fire resistance of buildings across various sectors. Vermiculite fire spray is a lightweight coating applied to structural steel elements, ductwork, and other critical infrastructure to significantly increase fire protection. This service is essential for ensuring a building’s structural integrity during a fire, giving occupants more time to evacuate safely. With Bowsers, you benefit from tailored applications that meet stringent Australian fire safety standards, reinforcing your commitment to safety and compliance. 

Vermiculite Fire Spray

Why It's Important

The application of vermiculite fire spray is critical in maintaining a building’s stability in the event of a fire by protecting structural components from high temperatures. This protection is vital for preventing the collapse of steel structures, ensuring the safety of occupants, and minimising property damage. Vermiculite fire spray acts as an insulative layer, delaying the temperature rise in steel and other materials, thus contributing to the overall fire resistance level (FRL) of the building. 

How It Works

Vermiculite fire spray is made from expanded vermiculite and other inorganic materials, forming a protective coating that significantly enhances fire resistance. When mixed with water and applied to surfaces, it acts as an effective insulator, slowing down heat transfer to the coated elements. In the event of a fire, this allows structural components to retain their load-bearing capacities longer, helping to preserve the building’s integrity until emergency services can control the fire.
