PRODUCT TYPE

FIRECUT F-2 Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Material is investigated for building construction so as to have excellent adhesion to steel substrates.

FIRECUT F-2 is formulated with materials such as cement, vermiculite, fiber (asbestos-free) and some other organic and inorganic materials, where it does not only show the characteristic of steel strength of concrete, but also the toughness and the flexibility of the cross-stitched network of fiber.

The physical properties is significantly better than equivalent products in the Market. During its burning in the fire, no toxic smoke is produced. After the burning, the burned coating remains as strong and intact as that before the burning, and it will not be destroyed by the wind-storm occurred in fire accidents.

CHARACTERISTICS

1.EXCELLENT PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

After it is applied and cured on the steel substrates, FIRECUT F-2 is tough and light. The impact resistance, compressive strength and bending durability are significantly higher than equivalent products. Due to its inclusion of tough and strong anti-deflection fiber, no peeling occurs under heavy blows. The physical properties can still be maintained even after 3 hours of burning in the fire, no chalking or loosen occurs. It can resist the wind-storm in the scene of fire accident and thus ensure its fire protection capability.

2.NO ASBESTOS CONTENT

The test done by Union Chemical Laboratory of Industrial Technology Research Institute shows that

FIRECUT F-2 does not contain any asbestos at all.


3.PROHIBITION OF OXIDATION

The components of FIRECUT F-2 can prohibit the oxidation of iron, no corrosion to the steel substrates will occur under direct contact.

4.EASY APPLICATION, LOW POLLUTION

After being mixed with water and stirred well, FIRECUT F-2 can be sprayed immediately. It has good fluidity and optimum viscosity. On top of the finished surfaces, different types of protective and decorative topcoats can be applied (not compulsory). After the application of topcoat system, it does not only provide a pleasant and colorful appearance, but also protect the FIRECUT F-2 from the direct contact with atmospheric pollution, thus prolong the warranty period.

5.BEST QUALITY, STABLE SUPPLY

F-2 Spray-applied Fire Resistive Material is classified and audited by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Together

with 『 Follow-up Service 』 by U.S. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and the annual production of millions of bags by automated production facilities, the stability of quality and quantity supply of F-2 is definitely more superior than that of the domestic and overseas products.

6.FIRE TESTING CERTIFICATION

FIRECUT F-2 has passed the test of UL 263 (ASTM E119) Fire Test of Building Construction and Materials by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. It has the capability of protecting exterior and interior structural steel beams and columns and floor units up to 4 hours, and is registered as 『 Design No. N 853, Y 738 and D 983 』 and categorized as Fire Protection Coating for Structural Steel in General Building Construction in the Fire Resistance Directory which is published annually.

FIRECUT F-2 was also tested by Exova Warringtonfire in U.K. according to EN 13381-4: 2013 & BS 476: Part 21: 1987 Standard and certified to acquire the fire protection capability up to 4 hours. It can be used I -type steel sections for beams and columns, tube steel beams and tube & circular steel columns.

7.UL GREENGUARD Certification

GREENGUARD Certification is part of UL Environment, a business unit of UL (Underwriters Laboratories). GREENGUARD Gold Certification (formerly known as GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certification) offers stricter certification criteria, considers safety factors to account for sensitive individuals (such as children and the elderly), and ensures that a product is acceptable for use in environments such as schools and healthcare

facilities. It is referenced by both The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) and theLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Building Rating System.
