SuperLite I-XL is a patented breakthrough, monolithic technology that reduces the transfer of radiant heat by reflecting heat back towards the fire source. It minimizes the threat of scorching heat which can limit the safe egress of occupants and can cause the fire to spread to adjacent areas. SuperLite I-XL 45/60, the first and only product of its kind to be introduced in the USA, was developed by SAFTI FIRST in 1993 and has been installed in locations throughout the USA Authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) across the country have approved this non-hose stream tested product because of its ability to reflect radiant heat and stay in the opening for over one hour, allowing for safe egress of occupants. Most AHJs recognize that the hose stream test was designed for structural building integrity and not as a thermal stress test for fire-rated glazing. Sprinkler activation does not compromise the performance of SuperLite I-XL.
