FIPRO® fire protection panels are based on a natural mineral called Vermiculite.
FIPRO® fire protection panels are manufactured by pressing exfoliated vermiculite into inorganic, non flammable binding agents, a special technology which was developed using modern technical processes. FIPRO® fire protection panels do not need fiber reinforcement, since the panels remain compact due to dovetailing of the individual
Internal and external control systems, as well as periodic quality monitoring through authorized institutes guarantee consistent high quality FIPRO® panels. Strict monitoring surveillance guarantees compliance with the specified technical parameters.
All constructions can be looked up on the compendium page Approved constructions. Detailed information of the different approvals can be checked under Certificates.

FIPRO® boards do not contain asbestos or silicate fibers, cement or gypsum components, or other types of mineral fibers. Due to the inorganic binders in the panels, no smoke or toxic fumes are released in case of fire. Adhere to permissible limits for dust generation when processing.
Waste originating from the panels can be disposed of as normal construction waste. Additional information can be found in the material safety data sheets.
FIPRO® panels have to be protected from wet conditions, and should be stored in dry and enclosed storage areas. The humidity of the air should be between 50 and 60%, with temperatures of 18 to 22° C.
FIPRO® boards must be stacked on pallets or storage lumber at a span of about 30 cm. Storing the panels upright, without good contact on a supporting surface, will lead to deformation. No more than 2 original pallets shall be stacked.
Pallets in use shall be covered by a panel (e.g. thin particle board) and an additional loose film.
For transport with fork lift, a fork size of more than 80 cm is recommended. In any case a sufficiently thick underlying surface shall be used. Single panels have to be carried vertically, meaning upright, by 2 people.
FIPRO® panels can be safely processed with conventional tools and machines and without any issues regarding work hygiene or environmental impact (drilling, milling, sawing, grinding, etc.).
