Prometheus Developments
PD61
A hard glossy intumescent coating to upgrade particle boards to fire barriers and upgrade timber doors to fire doors
PD61 was originally designed:
- to upgrade heritage doors to fire doors without disassembly
- to produce fire barriers from particle boards
It provides a system of production of fully sustainable building panels particularly relevant to timber frame construction.
PD61, a highly evolved formulation is:
- a two pack material designed for factory flow line application based on PRP Form 1
- can be made to cure in minutes at low bake
- may be site applied to doors and their frames, though finishing skills will be required
PD61 formulation is:
- largely finalised and has been tested in the Prometheus Developments indicative fire test furnace
- able to produce a 60 minute fire barrier from a single sheet of 18mm particle board coated on one side
PD61 has been indicatively tested in the Prometheus Developments SBI simulator
- it gives a clear Euroclass B
- it activates with very little smoke
- it activates below the pyrolisis temperature of the timber substrate
- it significantly retards distortion of the fire barrier leading to enhanced stability of jointed structures
PD61 cures to hard sateen finish that may be easily overcoated and decorated. Upon activation in a fire PD61 will intumesce through the decorative layer.
