CAFCO 400 ES / ISOLATEK Type 400 ES allows the SFRM material to remain in the hose up to 72 hours (such as overnight or over the weekend) without the need to purge with water. This improves job site productivity by reducing wash out and start up time, construction waste and downtime.
CAFCO 400 ES / ISOLATEK Type 400 ES is gypsum based medium density Wet Mix Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Material (SFRM) designed to provide protection for structural steel in commercial and high rise construction.
CAFCO 400 ES’s / ISOLATEK Type 400 ES’s physical properties, combined with superior fire resistive performance and application efficiencies, make it the ideal choice for high rise structures with time sensitive deadlines.
Benefits
- CAFCO 400 ES / ISOLATEK Type 400 ES provides all of the benefits of CAFCO 400 AC / ISOLATEK Type 400 AC, along with the elimination of washout and reduced start up times, thus increasing productivity.
- Exceeds industry in-place physical performance standards.
- Offers LEED building credits for recycled content.
- Its light red color provides an easily identifiable marker to clearly indicate its use.
Product Uses
Designed to provide delayed set time, thereby allowing the slurry to remain in the hose for up to 72 hours. Used in conjunction with CAFCO 400 AC / ISOLATEK Type 400 AC and ISOLATEK QWIK-SET®.
Fire Tests & Approvals
In order to meet the performance and durability criteria set forth by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and other major industry specifying organizations, CAFCO 400 ES / ISOLATEK Type 400 ES has undergone the most rigorous testing in accordance with the world’s most demanding safety protocols.
This cellulosic fire test is traditionally used to evaluate materials for use in the protection of modern day commercial structures. This test reaches 1000°F (537°C) after 5 minutes and gradually reaches a temperature of 2000°F (1093°C) after a period of up to 4 hours.
CAFCO 400 ES / ISOLATEK Type 400 ES is classified by Underwriters Laboratories for up to 4 hours protection in accordance with ANSI/ UL263 and is listed within various UL Designs.
The UL Classification Mark indicates compliance with global requirements as it relates to a specific risk or casualty. With the Classification service, UL determines that a manufacturer has demonstrated the ability to produce a product complying with UL’s requirements with respect to one or more of the following:
- Specific risk, e.g., casualty, fire, etc.
- Performance under specific conditions
- Compliance with regulatory codes
- Compliance with specific standards such as international standards
- Other condition, as determined by UL
All of the products carrying a UL Classification Mark are covered by UL’s Follow-Up Services program to verify that products carrying the UL Classification Mark continue to be manufactured in compliance with UL’s safety requirements.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has conducted a technical evaluation on CAFCO 400 ES / ISOLATEK Type 400 ES. The result of the evaluation process assures that the CAFCO 400 ES / ISOLATEK Type 400 ES is in compliance with the International Building Code (IBC).
