Product Selection Based on Service Condition The product Selection Chart below matches Southwest Fireproofing Products to the various service conditions that result from considering fireproofing environmental exposure and proximity to occupants.
A: Interior concealed locations with normal building atmospheres represent low potential for fireproofing damage and are the traditional areas for standard density gypsum based products.
B: Interior exposed but out of reach locations where the fireproofing is exposed to view but not easily reached by occupants also use standard density gypsum based fireproofing. Acoustical ceiling coatings are a similar application.
C: Interior exposed and within reach locations pose a higher potential for physical damage and require the added strength of medium density fireproofing. Gypsum based materials are preferred in this exposure condition under most building atmospheres.
D: Conditions A, B or C combined with prolonged exposure to moisture or extremely high humidity require the water resistance of a Portland cement product.
E: Exposure to physical abuse and water requires a high density Portland cement product.
F: Exterior weather exposure and industrial atmospheres require a high density product tested and approved for exterior use. | ||||||||||||||||||||
