Technique Béton offers New Product Range for Passive Fire ProtectionTechnique Béton now disposes of a comprehensive product range for passive fire protection in the industry sector. Among many applications, products belonging to the new fire protection range IR Technologie PTI are also used in the oil producing and chemical industries. The utilization of special mortars for fire protection has considerable advantages: the products already protect when applied in thin coatings so that the statics of buildings are not affected. Quick and easy passive fire protection is both possible in the case of new and existing buildings. Technique Béton’s newly developed materials do not drip when exposed to fire and stop the spreading of the fire itself. The products provide heat insulation, thus preventing the loss of static stability in the reinforcement of building structures. Special mortar IR 4010 is used for sealing tanks and for preventing carbonatation. The product can even be applied directly onto reinforcement in concrete that has already carbonated, thus preventing the replacement of the damaged reinforcement. Consequently, IR 4010 offers the opportunity of repairing older structures efficiently and quickly. This property is a decisive criterion, especially in areas where production needs to continue due to high resulting costs. Thanks to its fast curing time, when using IR 4010, operating procedures are only marginally disrupted. Special mortar IR 4020 protects concrete tanks from damage and is also used as passive fire protection. Both products are especially suitable for storing easily flammable chemical products or mineral oil products. The new product range perfectly completes Technique Béton’s offer and will shortly be CE certified. |
