Frequently Asked Questions
What is AITHON FR40?
AITHON FR40 is a fire protection coating developed specifically to improve the fire resistance of foam materials.
What types of foam materials can AITHON FR40 protect?
AITHON FR40 is formulated for insulation and composite foam materials commonly used in construction, where fire resistance is a critical requirement.
Why do foam materials need specialised fire protection coatings?
Foam materials are typically highly combustible; a dedicated intumescent coating like AITHON FR40 is required to bring these materials up to fire safety standards for construction use.
Is AITHON FR40 suitable for construction projects requiring fire certification?
Yes, AITHON FR40 is designed to help foam-based building components meet fire resistance requirements as part of a certified fire protection system.
