CAFCO^® BLAZE-SHIELD^® HP

CAFCO^® BLAZE-SHIELD^® HP is a cement based, medium density Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Material (SFRM) designed to provide protection for the structural steel in commercial high-rise construction. BLAZE-SHIELD HP's durable surface and cement based formula enable it to withstand indirect weather exposure conditions and limited physical abuse, thus allowing for application in parking garages, mechanical rooms, elevator shafts, and swimming pool areas. With a simple one-step spplication process, BLAZE-SHIELD HP is able to provide complete passive fire protection for most construction conditions at reduced costs and in less time.
