Description
Fire Rated Gypsum Board is a specially engineered building material used to improve fire resistance in internal walls, partitions, and ceilings. It is manufactured with a fire-resistant gypsum core reinforced with glass fibers and special additives, which help the board maintain structural integrity when exposed to high temperatures.
During a fire, the gypsum core releases chemically bound water as steam, helping to reduce heat transfer and delay the spread of flames. This property makes Fire Rated Gypsum Board an essential component of passive fire protection systems, providing valuable time for evacuation and emergency response.
Fire Rated Gypsum Boards are easy to install, compatible with standard metal or wooden framing systems, and suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects. They are widely used in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings to achieve required fire ratings while maintaining a smooth and professional finish.
Key Features:
- Fire-resistant gypsum core with glass fiber reinforcement
- Delays fire and heat spread
