Eurobond is wise choice for dairy development
Eurobond Firemaster Panel System recently specified for Robert Wiseman Dairies' major new milk processing plant, helping them meet duties of care in both hygiene and fire safety.
The tests were carried out by CERAM, a UKAS accredited laboratory, on a 70mm thick Firemaster Panel, the lowest strength panel in the range.
Severe Duty is the top rating achieved by conventional built up stud and board partitions, demonstrating Firemaster's suitability as an alternative to traditional means.
Developed for the construction of non-loadbearing internal partition walls, Firemaster Panels provide durability, versatility and up to four hours fire resistance.
Three types of wall panel (and a ceiling panel) make up the Firemaster range, all with interlocking joints for ease of installation.
All panels are LPCB and FM-approved, with the Rockwool core material classified as A1 non-combustible under the Euroclass reaction to fire classification.
From an environmental perspective Firemaster also has a low environmental impact from 'cradle to grave', both the steel facings and core insulation can be recycled at end of life into new virgin product.
