AVIKOTE AV-650

LIGHTWEIGHT CEMENTITIOUS PLASTER FOR PROTECTION AGAINST HYDROCARBON FIRES

AVIKOTE AV-650 is a lightweight cementitious plaster for the fire protection of steel structures against hydrocarbon fires in petrochemical and chemical plants, refineries and gas processing facilities. It is manufactured by Arabian Vermiculite Industries and distributed by Edilteco.

It has been tested for up to 4 hours to UL 1709, as well as BS 476 / NPD (4 h), cellulosic fire ASTM E 119 / UL 263 (4 h), tunnels RWS (4 h), jet fire (2 h) and NFPA 251 (2 h), and passed a blast test with 227 kg of TNT. It is suitable for exterior exposure.

It is sprayed onto metal mesh, and can also be trowelled; higher thicknesses per coat reduce application time and cost.
