  2. Calcium silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_silicate

    Calcium-silicate passive fire protection board being clad around steel structure in order to achieve a fire-resistance rating. Calcium silicate is commonly used as a safe alternative to asbestos for high-temperature insulation materials. Industrial-grade piping and equipment insulation is often fabricated from calcium silicate.

  3. Fireproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireproofing

    Circuit integrity fireproofing of cable trays, using calcium silicate boards. Damaged spray fireproofing. Fireproofing is rendering something (structures, materials, etc.) resistant to fire, or incombustible; or material for use in making anything fire-proof. [1] It is a passive fire protection measure. "Fireproof" or "fireproofing" can be used ...

  4. Circuit integrity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_integrity

    Circuit integrity fireproofing of cable trays using calcium silicate board system Circuit integrity fireproofing of cable trays Fire-resistant cables MI cables fastened into junction box that has not been fireproofed. Circuit integrity describes the extent of a fire's effect on an electrical circuit's operation. It is a form of fire-resistance ...

  5. Vermiculite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermiculite

    Exfoliated vermiculite can be combined with high alumina (also known as calcium aluminate) cements and other aggregates such as expanded shale, clay, and slate or sodium silicate to produce refractory/insulation concretes and mortars. In the early days of their use, these products were batched at or very close to the place of installation.

  6. Passive fire protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_fire_protection

    Endothermic materials absorb heat, including calcium silicate board, concrete and gypsum wallboard. For example, water can boil out of a concrete slab when heated. The chemically bound water inside these materials sublimates when heated. PFP measures also include intumescents and ablative materials. Materials themselves are not fire resistance ...

  7. Refractory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory

    Insulating refractories include calcium silicate materials, kaolin, and zirconia. Insulating refractories are used to reduce the rate of heat loss through furnace walls. These refractories have low thermal conductivity due to a high degree of porosity, with a desired porous structure of small, uniform pores evenly distributed throughout the ...
