CAFCO^® 400

CAFCO^® 400 is a medium density, durable fire protection product, designed to provide protection for structural steel in commercial and high-rise construction. Its durable surface texture makes it well suited for application in areas which may be subjected to higher levels of abuse. CAFCO 400 has the best overall fire performance of any spray-applied fire resistive material. This means less material is needed to achieve required fire ratings. With virtually no waste during installation, CAFCO 400 is cost-effective, clean and neat in appearance.
