Magnesium Hydroxide complies with UL and ASTM fire safety standards and provides excellent performance in high-temperature and electrical fire protection applications. It is an effective component in both passive and active firestop formulations.
Sodium Silicate, also known as water glass, is a fire-resistant binder used in coatings, sealants, and insulation materials. It forms a rigid, heat-resistant layer that withstands high temperatures and suppresses flame spread. Common in fireproof mortars, ceramic blankets, and refractory coatings, sodium silicate enhances thermal stability and chemical resistance. It is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and compliant with ASTM and EN fire standards. Ideal for passive fire protection systems, sodium silicate is widely used in industrial and structural fireproofing applications.

Vermiculite is a safe, cost-effective solution for passive fire protection, offering both heat resistance and sound absorption.
Perlite is a volcanic glass mineral expanded by heat to create a lightweight, fire-resistant material used in fireproofing coatings and insulating boards. Non-combustible and chemically stable, perlite improves thermal insulation and fire resistance in cementitious sprays, sealants, and gypsum-based systems. It meets ASTM and UL fire safety standards and is ideal for use in ceilings, firewalls, and structural protection. Perlite’s low density and high-temperature resistance make it an effective additive for sustainable and efficient passive fire protection solutions.
Calcium sulfate, commonly known as gypsum, is a widely used fire-resistant material in drywall and fire-rated building panels. It contains chemically bound water that is released when exposed to heat, slowing temperature rise and flame spread. Gypsum boards provide passive fire protection for walls, ceilings, and floor assemblies, meeting ASTM E119 and UL 263 fire-resistance standards. Gypsum is non-combustible, sound-insulating, and easily finished, making it a preferred choice for residential, commercial, and institutional fire-rated construction.
Intumescent polymers and gels, such as polyethylene glycol and polyphosphates, are core components in advanced firestop coatings, sealants, and wraps.
