Benefits of Insulation
- FIRE RETARDANT
Often after fire incident, heated discussions are often ignited about responsibility and
protection against fires. The question of insulation materials also often plays a central
role. BROWNIE is non-combustible and has excellent resistance to fire. BROWNIE by PGF
Insulation can be used in a wide range of partitions, walls, ceilings and other building
structures. It also has excellent resistance to the surface spread of flame and fire propagation
complying to BS 476 fire safety requirements.
BROWNIE glass mineral wool insulation is superior in both reaction and resistance to fire.
Reaction to fire tests are used to evaluate the contribution of a material to fire growth.
Tests are carried out according to BS 476. On the other hand, building structures have to
provide a certain amount of fire resistance. In the event of fire, the structural strength
will be compromised.
Therefore, BROWNIE will be the alternative material to be paired with the building structures
in order to retain the structural strength. The level of fire resistance provided is dependent
on the complete system being installed in accordance with our instructions. PGF Insulation can
contribute conclusively to fire protection. BROWNIE is not only absolutely non-combustible, but
also develops no black smoke or toxic gases.
