What is the top optimal fireproof wall solution today?

Prolonging the structural integrity of a building is always the main goal of fire protection. Fire partitions are an effective solution to help fire prevention structures retain their integrity longer in a fire. This is very important because with more time, we will be able to limit the damage to people and property when there is a fire.

Why should we use fireproof walls?

When looking for fire prevention solutions for building structures, many investors will find fireproof walls and choose this material. So how can fireproof walls conquer such projects?

• Excellent protection: Although there may be some variation in the types of fire-rated walls from different manufacturers, the most obvious benefit that can be seen is the level of protection of walls and surfaces from fire. on fire. With high-end wall types, we can have more than 2 hours of protection. With that time, firefighting and rescue work can proceed smoothly, avoiding loss of property and loss of life.
• Light weight: Fireproof walls of all types today are made from materials that are light, durable and sturdy. Thanks to that, fireproof walls are the solution chosen by many projects as they both meet technical requirements and contribute to reducing construction load.
• Flexibility and ease of construction: Fireproof walls can be flexibly manufactured according to design and materials to suit the functions of many different types of buildings such as houses, offices, factories, etc. Besides, the structure of fireproof walls is also extremely simple to support easy construction, saving construction costs and manpower.
• Other features: Thanks to specific raw materials, fireproof walls not only have the ability to resist fire, but many products can also provide impressive heat and sound insulation.

What standards are for fireproof walls?

Currently, fireproof walls as well as other fireproofing solutions determine their fireproofing quality based on two criteria: integrity (E) and thermal insulation (I). Accordingly, the EI criteria in Fire resistance is the requirement for the fire resistance limit of fireproof materials. This fire resistance limit is determined by a period of time, calculated from the start of the fire resistance test under the standard heating regime (heat). temperature will be gradually increased from 0 – 1200°C).

• E (Intergrity) is the limit at which components and materials can still maintain their integrity without cracking, falling, etc. This limit is often applied in many solutions such as fireproof walls. , air ducts, fire doors,…
• I (Thermal Insulation): Limit of thermal insulation ability at which the material still retains stable thermal insulation ability, the main structure of the material is not damaged by heat effects.

Currently, on the market there are types of fireproof walls named and classified according to EI standards such as: EI60 fireproof walls, EI90 fireproof walls, EI 120 fireproof walls, and the highest is EI 150 fireproof walls.

Insulation panels KHS.HF.M – Typical fireproof wall solution

The need to use fireproof walls for buildings is increasing. This means that there is an increasing variety of fireproof walls on the market. Among them, KHS.HF.M insulation panels are considered the most typical fireproof wall solution on the market today.

Solution system with simple structure

As a fireproof panel product produced by KH Shield Joint Stock Company, KHS.HF.M heat separator is currently a raw material for many fireproof solution systems of material manufacturers and construction departments. .

The fireproof wall solution system of KHS.HF.M panels is quite simple and easy to construct, the wall structure includes only two insulation panels and a metal wall frame. Although simple, with quality materials and modern production technology, fire partitions made from KHS.HF.M insulation panels still fully meet today’s strict fire protection standards.

The fireproof wall solution system from KHS.HF.M panels has a very simple structure

Quality conquers all current fireproof standards

It is no coincidence that KH Shield’s KHS.HF.M panels are considered the most optimal fire barrier solution. The following outstanding advantages are the factors that create “score” quality for fire safety buildings:

• Non-flammable, no smoke, no toxins: Smoke in a fire contains many active particles, vapors, toxic gases,… that affect human life. Thanks to FireShieldPRO KHShield technology, KHS.HF.M insulation panels completely solve the above problems, helping fireproof walls to prevent fierce flames from invading for a long time, without generating smoke or toxicity. element.
• 3 hours of use when exposed to fire at 1000°C: Because it is made from carefully selected agricultural by-products along with adhesive materials and advanced production technology, KHS.HF.M insulation panels have Very low thermal conductivity with only K= 0.122 – 0.197 (W/mK), providing the ability to effectively prevent fire spread.
• Durable in humid environments: Tested according to US ASTM standards, the moisture expansion of KHS.HF.M insulation panels is 0.01%, showing that in humid environments, the panels still retain their inherent performance. and does not change volume, helping the construction components stay intact and provide peace of mind for the project as well as the users.
• Environmentally friendly green materials: From agricultural by-products, imported raw materials are safe, do not contain toxic substances, and the production process is not baked; KHS.HF.M insulation panels completely bring peace of mind when used for projects.
• Meets all fire protection testing standards: To be considered a breakthrough product for fireproof wall solutions, KHS.FA fireproof panels have undergone strict testing and meet all fire protection standards. Recently, the fireproof wall solution system of Viet Wood Construction – Trading – Production Company Limited with the contribution of KH Shield panels has reached standards up to EI150, the highest milestone in fireproof wall solutions to date. current time.

Choose the right solution for the project

There are many options for fire barrier solutions, which means that investors and manufacturers need to do careful research. Mr. Nguyen Van Binh – Representative of the Center for Consulting and Technology Transfer on Fire Prevention and Rescue – said:

“Currently, all construction projects need to meet strict fire prevention and fighting standards and regulations. To achieve that, we need to seriously learn about fire prevention space solutions, and learn thoroughly about in-depth technical solutions from fire prevention solution experts. Project profits are good, cost savings are good, but a project’s ability to protect people is the most important factor.”

Ensuring fire safety is a must for all projects and is the wish of everyone. Therefore, not only the fireproof wall solution, but also every choice of safety, quality and meeting other project standards will contribute to creating a peaceful life.
