SUPERBOND FIRE GUARD ACP

Faulty appliances, gas leaks, phones left to charge too long, candles knocked overall are early signs of a massive fire accident. In less than 30 seconds, a small flame can turn into an inferno. A house can be engulfed in flames or covered with thick black smoke in a matter of minutes.

All this trauma can be avoided if the facade is constructed of non-combustible materials that will not fuel the existing fire. Even if the fire begins to devour the facade, the non-combustible material will slow down its intensity and speed.

Hence, the rest of this blog is dedicated to explaining how SUPERBOND’s Fire retardant ACP panels protect from the fury of fire.

Let’s get started right away.

What Are The Typical Requirements For Starting A Fire?

Having a basic knowledge of how fires begin is crucial for understanding the functionality of SUPERBOND’s fire-retardant ACP panels. Heat, Fuel and Oxygen are three essential components to trigger a fire accident. A fire can spread in a fraction of a second if the temperature of the heat source is high enough to cause combustion and if oxygen and fuel are sufficient in the environment. SUPERBOND ACP Panels prevent fire from spreading.

An Overview Of SUPERBOND’s Flame Retardant ACP Panels SUPERBOND’s fire retardant ACP panels are offered in three grades – Class B, Class A2+, and Class A2. The FR class B comprises 70% Mineral & 30 % Polyethylene recycled core, whereas the FR class A2 includes 90% Mineral & 10 % Polyethylene recycled core.

How Do SUPERBOND ACP Panels Provide Fire Suppression For Modern Buildings?

First of all, aluminium is a non-combustible material, is a remarkable thermal insulator. The low thermal conductivity of FR aluminium composite panels maintains the temperature of the building to a tolerable level, resulting in negligible fire spread for up to two hours. Moreover, they do not actively participate in combustion and hence do not generate excessive heat that could cause the flames to propagate. SUPEBOND FR ACP panels are made of the halogenated core. The core comprises polymer-bonded, inorganic minerals like Aluminium Trihydroxide and Magnesium Dihydroxide.
