Abstract
A composite skinned panel is disclosed which uses, in some embodiments, a combination of cementitious, insulative and ablative core materials to provide a building panel which can effectively meet a variety of different commercial, residential and marine fire codes. For example, one such fire test is an A60 fire rating (International Marine Organization (IMO) A60 Class A Bulkhead), which establishes that the panel provide 60 minutes of protection from a front side temperature of 1750° F. without raising the internal temperature more than 250° F.
Claims19
A fire-resistant panel comprising:
- a central structural core having an inside face and an outside face;
- a first inner reinforcement layer adjacent said inside face of said structural core and a first outer reinforcement layer adjacent said outside face of said structural core;
- an inner insulative layer adjacent said first inner reinforcement layer and an outer insulative layer adjacent said first outer reinforcement layer;
- an inner ablative core layer adjacent said first inner insulative layer;
- and
- a second inner reinforcement layer adjacent said inner ablative core layer and a second outer reinforcement layer adjacent said outer insulative layer.
A fire-resistant panel comprising:
- a central reinforcement layer having an inside face and an outside face, said central reinforcement layer being formed from a reinforcing fabric and resin;
- an inner foam insulative layer adjacent said inside face of said central reinforcement layer and an outer foam insulative layer adjacent said outside face of said central reinforcement layer, wherein said inner and outer insulative layers are PET foam board;
- an outer reinforcement layer adjacent said outer foam insulative layer, and an inner reinforcement layer adjacent said inner foam insulative layer;
- and
- an outer intumescent coating applied to said outer reinforcement layer and an inner intumescent coating applied to said inner reinforcement layer.
