Fire Rated PIR


Fire rated PIR wall and ceiling panels can be used in all Clean Rooms Cold Rooms, Chiller Rooms and ambient environments. The panel provides a particularly effective solution in cold environments, where internal temperatures are between 0°C and -40°C, and where fire resistance, excellent thermal insulation and hygiene are essential.



Core

PIR is amongst the most efficient insulating materials available. Its low-density rigid foam exhibits superior thermal stability and lower combustibility when compared to Expanded PolyStryene foams. PIR insulation products have excellent thermal conductivity, do not support the growth of fungi, are resistant to moisture ingress and are CFC and H (CFC) free.



Fire Performance


PIR cores provide Fire Resistance of up to 1 hour. When exposed to flame PIR forms a strong carbonaceous char that protects the core foam from ignition. PIR is recognised industry wide as the fire safe alternative to other foam cores including polyurethane.

Facing

Panels are finished with steel facings with a wide range of coatings available.
Due to the nature of the manufacturing process, PIR panels are profiled as standard. Panels can be provided with a smooth finish on request.

Jointing


The panels have high performance male / female interlocking metal facings to provide a secure and consistent joint detail. The interlocking joint, sealed with silicone, encapsulates the core ensuring total parity and a continuous anti-bacterial barrier.
