"The objectives of global fire safety design are to protect the life of people in the buildings and of fire fighters, to prevent losses in terms of damaged buildings, facilities and moveable property as well as interruption of business activities and to protect the environment from hazardous emissions."
PAROC panels have been classified in Euroclass A2-s1,d0 which means that they are impossible to ignite and will not contribute heat to the fire. They are non-combustible (A2) and they generate very little smoke and toxic products (s1) and do not form flaming molten droplets (d0).
The fire resistance of PAROC structures is classified up to EI240 as walls and EI90 as ceilings. The PAROC structural stone wool core has good thermal insulation also at extreme temperatures and it will not shrink. Shrinkage could cause loss of both insulation and integrity. The specially developed adhesive for PAROC panels has high temperature resistance keeping the core bonded to the unexposed face during a fire. The panel joint in PAROC panels is also specially designed to be tight without sealant and extra fixings in the joint, thus preventing the penetration of hot gases and flames. |
