intelligent fire protection

Palusol® and Palusol® SW Palusol® fire-protection panels are classified as non-combustible building material. In case of fire, the silicate panel expands under the action of heat with generation of foaming pressure. The non-combustible, heat-insulating and pressureresistant foam formed prevents fire and smoke from spreading to other rooms for a given period of time by filling joints and gaps. The new Palusol® SW, a ready-made sandwich product composed of Palusol® fire-protection panels and high-density fiberboards, can be integrated into fire doors and carries existing certification under...

Sales and Production Sites Apart from the silicate-based Palusol®, the BASF portfolio also includes, via its subsidiary Dr. Wolman GmbH, fire-protection products based on ammonium phosphate and also products based on expanded graphite. Palusol® and Palusol® SW can be procured worldwide. BASF supplies its customers from its headquarters in Ludwigshafen. In addition to BASF, distributors ensure product availability throughout the world. Ludwigshafen, Germany

Palusol® SW products consist of Palusol® fire-protection panels and high-density fiberboards ( HDF ). This combination conforms to the building materials classification in accordance with DIN 4102-B2. The new Palusol® SW can be obtained in different structural versions: simple as a combination of a Palusol® fire-protection panel with two HDFs, or as diverse as multilayer sandwich structures.

Burning tests have been carried out at various institutes on fire doors based on wood, especially “paneled doors”. Certificates of fire resistances in the range from 20 to 90 minutes have been obtained. For special applications, for example in shipbuilding, users have carried out their own tests, such as the IMO ( nternational Maritime OrganizaI ) tion , and have gained product...

Technical Data for Palusol® … Palusol fire-protection panels are also monitored by “Underwriters Laboratories Inc.” and by “Intertek Testing Services”, USA. Safety precautions during processing Except for the sodium silicate dust which may be created as a result of shaping (cutting, sawing), Palusol® is free of harmful components which constitute a hazard to human health. Gases evolved in the case of fire or smoldering are officially classified as non-hazardous. Further information regarding the processing of Palusol® may be found in the technical information leaflet and the safety data...

Cutting/ Working Palusol® SW can be worked using standard woodworking machinery (sawing, milling, drilling, etc.). Carbide tipped cutting tools are advantageous in order to obtain longer usage. Cut edges which arise during processing must be coated and adequately protected. Palusol® SW should be protected from water, high atmospheric humidity and sustained temperatures above 40   C. Palusol® SW is frost-resistant. ° The panels should always be stored lying horizontally and supported over their entire area. The wearing of protective gloves is required. Adhesive bonding The outer layers of...
