Domed sheet metal and S-shaped folds let a fire sealing cover plate follow joint movement while limiting radiant heat transfer.
A removable coated corbel cover adds 3-hour fire resistance while keeping steel ledges lighter and accessible for visual inspection.
A glass fiber backing layer is impregnated with a phenolic, kaolin, and aramid binder to balance strength, heat resistance, weight, and cost.
This resin stays flowable at 160°C yet maintains high viscosity to limit dripping and improve fire suppression without curing equipment.
Composite cladding with intumescent particles expands under heat to shield I-joists, replacing ineffective liquid coatings that fail to prevent thermal damage.
Borate compound and urea blend reduces boric acid dust while maintaining ASTM C739 fire-retardancy.
Ceramic wool insulation shields fastener points on steel plates, preserving structural integrity and weight-bearing capacity under high temperatures.
A curable composition uses a shape retention agent to maintain structural integrity during thermal expansion.
A meltable fuse holds compressed mineral wool in ventilated building cavities until heat exposure triggers expansion.
Nested coupling mechanisms join modular fire panels to block smoke, heat, and flames through structural continuity.
