Detailed description

A composite panel of fibre-reinforced cement with mechanically bonded punched steel sheets on both surfaces. DURASTEEL® is highly impact and blast resistant and can withstand prolonged cellulosic, hydrocarbon or jetfire and hose-streams from fire fighting.

Designed for fire resistance and impact resistance in public and service corridors, warehousing, industrial buildings, mass transit systems, manufacturing facilities and other areas subject to abnormally rough use. Also designed for blast resistance to off-shore facilities, petro-chemical industrial facilities, gas processing plants and other areas subject to projectile or explosive risk.

The steel laminated boards can be left untreated in galvanised finish, or decorated with water or oil-based paints: The surface spread of flame properties may be negated when the boards are decorated.
