Fire insulation on ships must meet very high requirements. Furthermore, functionality together with easy and fast installation has become more and more important. To meet these requirements, alternative solutions for different fire applications are needed.

Paroc has tested several A-class and H-class constructions for decks and bulkheads, for steel and aluminium.

Covered fire insulations

A functional insulation solution for car decks and engine rooms can be achieved using precoated slab and preformed insulations. Coated products ensure a clean and easily maintained final surface. The range of facings includes glass fibre cloths 50-400 g/m2 and aluminium foils.

The quick and easy installation of coated fire insulation ensures considerable cost savings. Coated products also enable insulating facilities using more lightweight overall solutions than before. For the user, this means quieter and more comfortable working facilities than before.

Uncovered fire insulation

Plain fire insulation is made of stone wool intended as basic material for the fire insulation solutions in shipbuilding constructions.

Plain insulation is used in facilities where they lie behind other constructions or as insulations in rooms, where they must be protected by steel sheets (i.e. against mechanical stress).
