Fireproofing Products

Monokote products are single component, spray-applied, mill-mixed, fire-resistive plasters. Monokote fireproof coatings bond tightly to steel and concrete substrates, forming a uniform, durable material that does not spall, dust, or flake. 

Fireproofing spray acts as a barrier against heat transfer from fire source to the substrate, while at the same time the binder releases water or crystallization to provide a cooling action to the substrate.  

Applications Include:

• Structural steel members and fluted decking to provide up to 4 hours of fire protection
• Most steel and concrete substrates

HiBAR is a semi-cementitious spray-applied fireproofing used to provide added thermal resistance, acoustical control and fire endurance to various building assemblies. HiBAR is applied quickly and economically without the messy clean-up problems encountered with heavier we-mix materials. HiBAR cures to an off-white colour with an attractively textured surface. 

HiBAR application is typically for improving the fire endurance rating of metal building substrates such as:

• Rigid structural substrates such as steel joists, beams, columns, floor/ceiling assemblies and exterior or partition wall units as spray-applied fireproofing
• Prefabricated metal buildings, corrugated metal roof assemblies, the underside of concrete slabs and masonry or metal wall assemblies as thermal insulation
• Ceilings and upper walls in noisy production areas or large rooms such as gymnasiums or swimming pools as spray-applied acoustical treatment

Fire stopping is the sealing of any openings to prevent fire (including smoke and heat) from passing through multiple building compartments.

The spread of a fire is contained by creating fire-resisting compartments, which subdivide the building (vertically or horizontally). 

Buildings must ensure that any openings and gaps are fire stopped to restrict both lateral and vertical fire spread. A fire stop is a fire protection system made of various components used to seal openings and joints in fire-resistance walls or floor assemblies.

When a fire occurs, these materials slow the spread of destructive substances, including:

• Fire
• Heat
• Smoke
• Toxic or combustible gases
