SYSTEXX Active FireProtect: Non-combustible glass fiber wall covering for innovative fire protection

Certified system of four products that all achieve an A2-s1, d0 fire rating when hung with the corresponding system adhesive SYSTEXX Active FireProtect Glue – in other words: it is non-flammable! Systems such as SYSTEXX FireProtect, which offer the highest fire resistance classification, can add crucial minutes for escape.

Of course, we hope that fire never breaks out. But what if it does due to a technical fault or carelessness? In that case, every second that a product hampers the spread of fire counts towards saving one's own life or the lives of others. Because it is not only the fire that is dangerous – but above all the rapidly spreading smoke, which causes a loss of orientation and uses up the remaining oxygen. Heavily frequented facilities in particular must provide adequate protection to allow sufficient time for evacuation in the event of fire. Systems such as SYSTEXX FireProtect, which offer the highest fire resistance classes, can add crucial minutes to the time available for escape.

The definition of fire and fire protection is a very complex issue. Until 2011, each European country carried out its own fire tests, which meant that comparability within product groups was impossible. The European Union therefore decided to standardize the rules to create a uniform basis, and safety for consumers: EN 13501 series of standards. The task of the member states is to adapt their existing building regulations to this new standard. For FireProtect with fire resistance class A2-s1, d0 this means:

• A2 - it is not-combustible
• s1 - in the event of fire a very limited amount of smoke may develop
• d0 - and in the event of fire there are no flaming droplets.
