flame(protect compact

Non-combustible fire protection panel consisting primarily of mineral components; with a white core and decorative melamine resin surfaces on both sides.

flame(protect compact is a non-combustible material that is notable in particular for its versatility in decorative use.
The fire protection panel meets all legal requirements, and can be used universally to reduce the fire load. Ideal for use in decorative interior projects, the material is approved for use in building construction. Its burning behaviour meets the requirements of classification A2-s1,d0 to EN 13501-1.

Field of application

  • Suitable for universal use in fire prevention to reduce the fire load, especially where there is a need for non-combustible materials and a particular requirement for design and user-friendliness. Possible applications range from decorative interior projects including furniture, fittings and wall coverings in halls, corridors and stairwells (escape and emergency routes) in standard building as well as increased requirements in special buildings including multistorey constructions, large office building, hospitals, care facilities, schools and nursery schools, hotels, retail and meeting sites etc.
    The material is not suitable for wet areas or outside use.

Core material

  • Non-combustible compact core
  • Compact core with excellent strength properties, consisting primarily of mineral components.

Density

  • 1,900 kg/m³ ± 50 kg/m³ (ISO 1183)

Reaction to fire

  • non-combustible
  • A2-s1,d0 (EN 13501-1)

Cleaning and care

  • The surface can be cleaned with water and gentle cleaning agents. To remove stubborn stains, please observe the recommendations in the data sheet "Cleaning of HPL surfaces".

Product safety

  • The surface is physiologically safe, and approved for direct contact with food.
  • The decorative coating consists of printed or dyed décor papers. They are saturated in the duroplast melamine-formaldehyde resin, which then hardens during the laminating process to form a highly resistant, non-reactive material.
  • We manufacture the panels without the use of halogens, heavy metals, preservatives, wood protectors or organic solvents.

Machines and tools

  • Machining can be done on all common machining equipment and processing centres.
  • Diamond tipped tools are suitable for machining and processing.

Edging

  • It is generally recommended to seal the edges.
  • PUR hotmelts are recommended for edge adhesion.

Fitting technology

  • All conventional removable and non-removable fittings for wood materials, compact laminates and mineral boards are suitable.

Installation and assembly

  • Sufficient conditioning is required prior to installation. The premises themselves need to be air-conditioned according to the future use. Once installed a good rear ventilation as well as well a balanced climate must be ensured.
  • The fixing of the boards to the underground always needs to be done mechanical with non-combustible fixing material.
  • Ensure that there is an adequate area of “play” for the panel after installation; drill holes should be over-sized by a minimum of 0.5 mm.
  • Please ensure that the material is processed and fitted correctly and using the best available technology.

Health and safety

  • Provide adequate extraction when splitting/grinding.
  • Provide adequate ventilation and fresh air supply.
  • Prevent dust from settling, or remove regularly.
  • Suck (vacuum) dust when cleaning; do not blow.
  • Work clothes should cover the body entirely (trunk, legs and arms) whilst processing these panels.
  • Use the usual products for skin protection (creams etc.).
  • We advise operators to wear a face mask (P2).

Storage and handling

  • On all level surfaces (e.g. pallets), in dry, vented rooms.
  • Protect from moisture and wet conditions.

Disposal

  • When machining large quantities, we advice using a separate saw dust extraction. Offcuts and large amounts of saw dust are to be collect and disposed of separately.
  • Waste code for disposal: 030199
