CAFCO® 300
24/05/2017
CAFCO® 300 is a lightweight coating that provides very efficient fire resistance with minimal thickness to steel and concrete structures, metal floor and roof decks, return air plenums and air handling ductwork.
| Fire resistance |
Steel structures protected with CAFCO® 300 have undergone fire resistance tests up to 240 minutes in approved independent laboratories to recognised standards throughout the world, including:
Fire resistance test results relate solely to the constructions tested and test conditions imposed. |
