FlameguardTM panels consist of a core of mineral wool fibreboard with steel faces either side. The metal faces of the panels have interlocking tongue and groove joints on the long edges. The mineral wool core is made from basalt and other naturally occurring rocks which are melted and spun into fibreboard. Mineral Wool is classified as a non combustible building material, is chemically inert and has a melting point in excess of 1000 degrees Celsius.
Flameguard is available in a range of standard thicknesses and when installed correctly, Factory Mutual has advised that it may be used where non combustible building panels are required for insurance purposes.
