Description
Armatex Firewall Skim is a polymer bound float coat, filled with proprietary vitreous aggregates and specialty additives that are designed minimize vertical and or horizontal flame spread and to ensure that strong inter-coat adhesion is maintain with Astec Firewall Render when a building facade is exposed to temperatures of up to 1000 degrees centigrade during a large-scale fire.

This adhesion and flame spread performance was proven during large scale test conducted to AS-5113 when the product was exposed to 30 minutes of extreme fire conditions and radiant heat while at the same time being exposed to substrate intumescing, thermal drift and warping of a PVC substrate.

Armatex Firewall Skim provides the applicator a highly polymer bound float coat that floats smooth in a similar manner to that of a traditional sand and cement faring coat.

Firewall Render - Perminatley Flexible - No Cracking On any Substrate.

A flexible render with permanent chemical adhesion to PVC Panels. Firewall render was applied wet to a Teflon coated aluminium release panel then allowed to cure to its solid form at 15 mm thick. The cured render strip was then removed from the release panel and laid on a flat surface. The strip of Firewall Render was then lifted from the surface to highlight the full flexibility of the render system. This flexibility demonstrates why Firewall is the most successful wet mix render ever developed for use on all modern substrates.

Firewall Render Onsite Adhesion Test - Permanent Adhesion to PCV Panel - Requires Grinders to Remove.

Removal of Firewall Render from PVC Panel. A project previously coated with Firewall Render was undergoing a design change where a large section of the wall was going to be removed. We used this section of wall prior to its removal to try and remove the Firewall Render. Chip hammers and pneumatic chisels were used to try and remove the render without success. The only way to remove the Firewall render was the use of high-speed diamond grinders which again highlights the long term permanent adhesion to PVC Panel.

Firewall Render - 15mm Free formed Layer.

A flexible render with permanant chemical adhesion to PVC Panels. Firewall render was applied to an alluminium teflon coated release panel then allowed to cure to it solid form at 15 mm thick. The demonstartion video shows why Firewall Render is the most sucsesfully wet mix render ever doveloped for use on all moders substrates.
