Spray Fireproof Testing
This video demonstrates geopolymer fireproofing applications
Spray on Steel
A geopolymer spray can render steel materials fire-resistant. Additional geopolymer developments have been formulated to use to spray on structural steel rendering it fireproof.
Spray
A geopolymer spray can render molded materials fire-resistant. Additional geopolymer developments have been formulated to use molds with sprayed material rendering it fireproof.
Plastic
Incorporating recycled plastic, this geopolymer composite is lightweight, fire-resistant, and insulating.
Cork
Incorporating recycled cork, this geopolymer composite is lightweight, fire-resistant, and insulating. Additional geopolymer developments have been formulated to use recycled cork rendering it fireproof.
Expanded Clay
