CAFCO®BLAZE-SHIELD®
II
CAFCO® BLAZE-SHIELD® II is a cement based
spray-applied fire resistive material (SFRM) designed to provide
fire resistive ratings for structural steel and concrete in
commercial construction.
Applied directly to steel beams, columns and deck, or to
concrete surfaces, this product's outstanding value and proven
fire resistive performance make it an excellent choice for
concealed commercial environments.
BLAZE-SHIELD® II is applied exclusively by Northeast
Fireproofing, you CAFCO® licensed and trained
contractor, and our technical staff works closely with building
team members to meet all your fire protection needs.
THERMAL PROPERTIES
The unique formulation of CAFCO® BLAZE-SHIELD®
II makes it a very effective thermal insulator. This benefit
is important in reducing heat loss, particularly when applied
to the underside of a roof deck, which may allow a reduction
in roof insulation.
ACOUSTICAL PROPERTIES
As an efficient sound-absorbing material, BLAZE-SHIELD®
II adds value to the fire protection application in areas
where high-noise levels are anticipated. Typical acoustical
performance is as follows:
Product Thickness Base NRC Rating*
BLAZE-SHIELD® II 1/2 inch(13mm) Deck & Beam
0.75
BLAZE-SHIELD® II 1 inch(25 mm) Solid 0.75
