Advantages of fire rated duct wrap

October 28, 2021 5:45 pm Published by

Ductwork runs throughout many commercial buildings and plays an important role of ventilating the air to maintain a comfortable temperature of its occupants. Fire rated ductwork improves the safe functioning of heating and cooling systems by reducing the chances of fire spreading through the ductwork and departments in the building. Bin Dasmal General Trading represents leading brands like Morgan Advanced Materials to supply intelligently engineered ventilation ductwork worldwide. Firemaster FastWrap XL is their new FastWrap product for fire rated duct insulation to ensure that your ductwork is protected and works efficiently.

Let us look at some of the advantages of a fire rated duct wrap.

Fire-resistant material: The materials used to make a fire rated ductwork differ from a standard ductwork. The material is tested to be fire-resistant by exposing it to a flame and offers up to four hours of protection for fire, integrity, insulation, and stability.  Apart from fire-resistance, duct material has thermal rating too. Firemaster FastWrap system is composed of high temperature, low bio-persistent super wool fibers classified for applications up to 1200°C (2192°F).

Ease of installation: FireMaster FastWrap XLS is fully encapsulated in a matte-black, durable fiberglass reinforced foil facing which provides for improved aesthetics and easy installation.

Testing: Fire resistant systems go through a series of certification tests to meet mandatory requirements that ensure they meet fire safety requirements of international standards.

Versatile: A high-quality fire-resistant system is also more versatile. It protects service enclosures, exhaust ducts, gas pipes, cables, and shafts. It delivers a 2-hour enclosure and firestop system for kitchen exhaust ducts and ventilation ducts.

Lightweight: Morgan’s fire rated duct system has the lightest fire rated blanket wrap system that reduces labor time and reduces the space required to install it.

Energy efficiency: Fire rated ducts give an added benefit of reducing thermal transmission. This reduces the amount of energy required to properly ventilate spaces and improves the energy efficiency of the system.

Choosing the right fire-rated ductwork needs to consider the complexity of the ductwork and the function of the system. It significantly helps to reduce the spread of flames and smokes spreading through gaps and unsecured elements in your building. Bin Dasmal General Trading supplies intelligently engineered thermal ceramics and fire protection insulation solutions by Morgan Advanced Materials. We offer a wide range of solutions for both ventilation and smoke extraction – for different operating pressures, sizes, orientations, configurations, and even for partial fire exposures.
