access to innovation
ISOLATEK Type M-II is a single package factory
controlled Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Material (SFRM) based on vermiculite and portland cement. It is the most widely used fireproofing product for use in the landbase oil, gas and petrochemical related industries. The material is used to achieve hydrocarbon fire ratings on structures, pressurised vessels, sphere, bullets, skirts and equipment in exterior environments and interior situations where higher levels of abrasion resistance and hardness are necessary.
Although ISOLATEK Type M-II is lightweight, thus
significantly reducing dead load, it is also highly durable and resistant to cracking or spalling ISOLATEK Type M-II along with Topcoat applied on 3 LPG vessels under mechanical impact. Its excellent fire performance offers the client an economical, durable and effective fire protection solution. Spheres and Vessels
Our long term association with the petrochemical
ISOLATEK Type TG and chemical process industries has enabled Isolatek and Newkem to design and develop When application of the fire protection is systems engineered to provide long term passive required on a live plant, there are occasions fire protection to storage vessels and spheres. when it is considered that application by spray may prove too high a risk in terms of spark ISOLATEK Type MII will limit the unwetted surface of ignition. ISOLATEK Type TG has been developed vessel to below their critical temperature for the for application by trowel in areas where required period (usually two hours) for any of the spraying is impractical or not permitted and has following fire types: the same technical capabilities to perform as the spray grade material. i. Intense torching fires ii. Enveloping fires Fire Performance iii. Radiant heat from adjacent fires
ISOLATEK Type M-II and ISOLATEK Type TG are The ISOLATEK Type MII system applied to vessels classified by Underwriters Laboratories(UL) for incorporates a self supporting mesh retention up to 4 hours protection in accordance with system which does not rely on mechanical fixing the Rapid Rise Fire Test (UL 1709) & RWS Fire to vessel surfaces. Curve. With UL 1709, the furnace temperature rises from ambient to 2000°F (1093°C) within five minutes. Only materials tested and classified in GASAFE accordance with UL 1709 can be used where the risk of a hydrocarbon fire exists. GASAFE was a project undertaken by several UL 1709 Rapid Fire Test Results Classified Under UL Design sponsors in Europe to investigate the behavior of XR 729 & XR 730 on a W10 X 49 column (Thickness in mm) pressurized LPG tanks and liquefied hydro-carbon products in pressure vessels under fire conditions.
