Overview
About Gypsum-based sprayed fireproofing
Gypsum-based SFRMs are sprayed onto clean steel and decks; thickness and density are set by the listed design or tested data for each member and rating.
They are for dry interior conditions – humidity, weather and impact need cementitious or high-density products.
Thickness and density are checked in place to ASTM E605 and bond to ASTM E736.
Key benefits
- Light weight on the structure
- Fast application on large areas
- Covers complex connections
- Economical for long ratings
