ISOLATEK WB3/WB4/WB5

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ISOLATEK Type WB 3 is a water-based, Intumescent Fire Resistive Material (IFRM) consisting of polyvinyl acetate resins and inorganic fillers designed for the fire protection of interior structural steel.
ISOLATEK Type WB 3 gives architects the ability to design using steel that can be decorative and aesthetically pleasing. It can be top coated to match its surroundings and allows steel to be left exposed to view while providing the fire resistance rating.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

• Water based intumescent coating with low VOC’s
• Semi smooth architectural finish
• Can be finished with a wide variety of topcoat types and colors
• Quick, easy application and clean up
• Wide range of testing
• 3-hour rated UL protected floor assembly
• Provides up to 4-hour fire resistance ratings in accordance with ANSI/UL 263, ASTM E119, CAN/ULC-S101 and BS 476 Parts 20-21

PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE

It is important for fire protection materials to be able to withstand abuse. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test methods are used to evaluate the performance of intumescent materials when subjected to these various physical forces. ISOLATEK Type WB 3 has been evaluated to meet rigorous industry test standards.
