Fitherm - GXf-HP

Product Description

Fitherm GXf-HP is a graphite based intumescent product best suitable for the most challenging fire proofing applications. In case of fire, Fitherm GXf-HP expands to multiple times its original volume and forms a heat-isolating shield. Particularly, Fitherm GXf-HP achieves the highest char stability compared to other intumescent products.

Fitherm GXf-HP builds up a very effective barrier against fire and smoke. Fitherm GXf-HP is especially developed for applications, where modest expansion volume and pressure in combination with the stable char is required.
Our products are halogen free.
Fitherm GXf-HP 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.
