Fire Resistant Board

FIRE RESISTANT (FR)

DESCRIPTION

PCS Fire Resistant (FR) Gypsum Board is a factory produced in a standard wide 1200mm special panel for fire resistance applications. The boards are composed of a noncombustible glass-fiber reinforced gypsum core mixed with special additives, encased in a heavy natural-finish paper on the face side and a strong liner paper on the back side. The face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are square cut and finished smooth. Long edges of panels are recessed (tapered) allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with PCS Middle East PCS brand Jointing Compounds.
