THE ECONOMIC CHALLENGE OF ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT EI120 FIRE-RATED DUCTS – REDUCED LOAD, ACCELERATED PROGRESS
🔥 THE ECONOMIC CHALLENGE OF ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT EI120 FIRE-RATED DUCTS – REDUCED LOAD, ACCELERATED PROGRESS
In MEP construction, EI120 fire-rated air ducts are often considered a literal “burden”:
Thick and heavy structures that require complex hanging systems and high labor costs.
However, with KH Shield’s solution—tested and certified for 132 minutes at IBST—we completely redefine that perception through the KHS.HF.MPro14 panel.

NỘI DUNG BÀI VIẾT
🧱“LIGHTENING THE LOAD” WITH THE GOLDEN RATIO FOR BUILDINGS
The KHS.HF.MPro14 panel features ideal specifications for overhead and elevated installations:
📉 Ultra-light density: Only 700 ± 50 kg/m³, significantly lighter than traditional fireproof mortar or cement-based fire-rated boards.
🔥 Optimized thickness: Just two layers of 14 mm panels are sufficient to achieve EI120, eliminating the need for bulky 40–50 mm thick conventional systems.

💰3 CLEAR ECONOMIC BENEFITS
1. Reduced Hanging Structure Costs
Lower duct weight → Smaller hanger rods and fewer supports required → Significant savings on auxiliary materials.
2. Faster Installation
Lightweight panels, easy to cut and screw.
Faster handling with less physical strain → Shorter installation time and reduced project duration.
3. Cleaner & More Aesthetic Design
Slim construction helps optimize ceiling space—especially critical in crowded MEP ceiling voids.
✅ LABORATORY-VERIFIED PERFORMANCE
This lightweight and slim system is far from “fragile.”
Test Report No. 307.25.KC.NCPCC (dated December 19, 2025) confirms that the system maintained its integrity for 132 MINUTES under furnace temperatures exceeding 1,000°C.
