Introduction

Firemaster ALU 40 Blanket is a flexible, resilient product based on Firemaster 607 alkaline earth silicate Blanket which incorporates an integral aluminium foil vapour barrier and is able to provide effective fire protection in standard, hydrocarbon and jet fire applications.

ALU 40 blanket has all the excellent handling and fire performance features of standard Firemaster Blanket whilst offering the convenience of an integral vapour barrier. The Vapour barrier is attached with mineral glue thus providing a further benefit of maintaining the non-combustibility property of the base blanket product.

ALU 40 blanket can be based on either the standard or Water Repellent grades of Firemaster Blanket.

Health Aspects Summary

Firemaster 607 was designed for enhanced solubility in lung tissues. Rats have been exposed 6 hours a day, 5 days a week during 2 years at an average concentration of 200 F/ml (about 200 to 300 times higher than the concentration found in production plants) without showing any significant increase in lung tumours or fibrosis.
