Fire retardant boards BST BORD from the company "CAREFUL BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES" are an environmentally friendly fire retardant material made from biodegradable ceramic fibers in the form of solid sheet panels, which also have heat and sound insulation properties. BST BORD boards are designed to increase the fire resistance limit of metal structures to 240 minutes in case of fire.
Application of fire retardant boards BST BORD
The main purpose of fire-retardant boards BST BORD is to increase the fire resistance of load-bearing steel structures. When exposed to high temperatures during a fire, metal loses its strength, which can lead to the collapse of the building. The use of fire-retardant boards BST BORD significantly increases the heating time of metal structures (up to 240 minutes), thereby increasing the time for evacuating people and extinguishing a fire. Also, BST BORD fire-retardant boards provide fire protection at points where engineering systems intersect enclosing structures, transit cable lines and fire barriers (walls, partitions, interfloor ceilings, etc.). Additionally, the material can be used as sound and heat insulation of premises.
The most relevant use of BST BORD fireproof boards is:
- during the construction of high-rise buildings;
- during the construction of industrial buildings;
- during the construction of multifunctional facilities.
Operating principle of BST BORD boards
Biodegradable ceramic fibers, which are part of the BST BORD fire-retardant boards, remain stable in the event of a fire and do not conduct heat to the metal structure, keeping it from heating up. The material is resistant to temperature fluctuations from -60°C to +60°C and has low thermal conductivity.
Differences between BST BORD boards and other fire protection products
Advantages of fire retardant boards BST BORD:
- environmental friendliness, because the boards consist of biodegradable ceramic fibers using inorganic binders;
- self-supporting;
- lightness, so fire-retardant boards create a low load on the structure;
- quick installation;
- the possibility of combining with other construction and installation works;
- individual molding for a specific metal structure profile;
- wide range of operating temperatures;
- duration of operation – more than 50 years;
- in addition to fire protection, they perform the functions of thermal insulation and sound insulation;
Installation of fire-retardant boards BST BORD
Before installation, the material is cut manually or automatically. To install boards on protected structures, screws, pins, fire-resistant mastic BST MASTIC and fire-resistant adhesive composition BST KLEY are used. Mounted BST BORD boards can be treated with decorative finishing materials.
- BST BORD fire-retardant boards are cut using both manual and automatic tools.
- The boards are fastened to the protected structure using screws, pins, BST MASTIC, BST KLEY. The choice of mounting method depends on the installation conditions.
- Sealing of joints of surfaces and seams is carried out using fire-resistant mastic BST MASTIC or BST KLEY.
- For decorative finishing of the surfaces of fire-retardant boards BST BORD, you can use pre-agreed interior, façade and other paints and plaster materials.
- BST BORD boards are supplied packed in shrink film on pallets/pallets and/or boxes.
- Transportation and storage from -60 to +60°C.
- Store in covered, dry rooms on a flat base (pallet or pallet) under conditions that exclude mechanical damage and contamination
