Fitherm - GX-f
Product Description
Fitherm® GX-f is a graphite based intumescent product for the most challenging tasks. In case of fire, Fitherm® GX-f expands to multiple times its original volume and forms a heat-isolating shield. Particularly, Fitherm® GX-f achieves the highest char stability compared to other intumescent products. During expansion it’s builds up very high pressure.
Fitherm® GX-f builds up a very effective barrier against fire and smoke. Fitherm® GX-f is especially developed for applications, where high expansion volume and pressure in combination with the stable char are required. Fitherm® GX-f is a halogen free product. Fitherm® GX-f strips bear a black glass fiber clothe on one side in its basic form and can be laminated with a PVC foil in different colors or other materials.
