FIREMASTER Blanket 607 Grade
is a non-combustible, flexible matt manufactured
from alkaline earth silicate fibres suitable
for use in both cellulosic and hydrocarbon
fire protection applications.
The patented fibre formulation
used gives enhanced solubility in the human
body together with excellent thermal and acoustic
properties.
Firemaster 607 Blanket has
the same appearance as Refractory Ceramic fibre
and can be used in the same range of fibre
protection applications with equivalent thermal
insulation performance.
No binders are used during
manufacture thus there is no risk of smoke
or toxic gas emission or loss of strength during
a fire due to binder burn out.
Firemaster 607 is easy to
handle being flexible and resilient with good
tensile strength. No special installation tools
are needed and the blanket can be cut with
a sharp knife. The blanket is supplied in rolls
each marked with key production data, packed
in a specially printed carton.
A significant number of fire
tests have already proven the performance of
the Firemaster 607 Blanket for up to 4 hours
in hydrocarbon fires and one hour in jet fires.
Fire protection is achieved with lower thickness
and weight than with other Mineral Fibre compositions.
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.
