Protecta® FR Board is ideal as a fast assembly non-load bearing partition wall system where the objective is to prevent spread of fire and smoke by dividing areas into separate fire compartments. Protecta® FR Board will also provide acoustic sound insulation as separating walls.

Protecta® FR Board can be used as a stand-alone partition wall in areas where access is limited e.g. lofts and technical rooms, or as an insulation inside plasterboard or wood based particle board walls, increasing the fire classification with reduced wall thickness.

Protecta® FR Board consists of a high density stone wool core, over-coated with Protecta® FR Coating. The top coating provides additional protection by significantly reducing the permeability of the stone wool core and prevents the passage of hot gases, thus reducing the temperature rise on the unexposed side and reducing heat conduction through the wall.

The above information is based on current test data, health and safety information and application instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the products. It is supplied for guidance and to the best of our knowledge is true and accurate. Customers should satisfy themselves to the suitability of the products in its intended use and no guarantee is given or implied as the conditions of actual use are beyond our control. If in doubt the customer should consult the designer of the project or the local building control. We would recommend that intumescent coatings are carried out by an approved applicator.
