Palusol® is applied in the area of fire-protection. Fire-protection doors and glazing as well as in fireproof bulkheads for pipes, cables or ventilation elements prevent fire and smoke from spreading to other rooms for a given period of time. In case of fire, the silicate panel expands under the action of heat with generation of foaming pressure. Thus originates a non-combustible, heat-insulating and pressure-resistant foam. Palusol fire-protection panels are classified as non-combustible building material.
