Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Recommended Uses
Listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories for both interior and exterior application, Albi Clad 800 should be specified wherever long-lasting fireproofing with high abrasion and impact resistance is required. Albi Clad 800 is ideal for use in a wide variety of commercial, institutional and industrial environments where conventional fireproofing is not sufficiently rugged, lightweight or attractive. Albi Clad 800 will withstand weathering and chemical fumes. It is highly recommended for use on offshore drilling platforms, petrochemical plants, power plants and dock facilities.
- Application
Albi Clad 800 is spray applied directly from the shipping container, utilizing standard, heavy-duty, pneumatic spray equipment. Thickness of the application will depend upon the fire endurance rating specified. Albi Clad 800 must be applied by qualified, factory-trained, applicators. Installation must be in accordance with manufacturer’s printed instructions, and in compliance with specific test requirements.
- Suggested Specification
Scope
This specification covers requirements for materials, equipment and application of intumescent mastic to provide fire protection to structures and supports as indicated on the design drawings, and in accordance with applicable requirements of contract documents. Further, this specification shall be supplemented by the applicable requirements of building codes, insurance rating organizations and all other authorities having jurisdiction.
Qualification Of Subcontractors
Application of Albi Clad 800 fireproofing shall be performed by qualified, factory-trained applicators having proper equipment and training to complete the installation in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Proof of such qualification shall be submitted with bid documents.
Surface Prep
- Albi Clad 800 intumescent mastic shall be directly applied to surfaces that have been properly prepared to receive this fireproof coating. The surfaces must be clean and dry, free from rust, grease, dust or other contaminants that will interfere with proper bonding.
- All steel surfaces shall be primed with compatible primer prior to fireproofing application. Phenolic modified alkyd primer (Albi 487S) or acrylic (Albi 490W) or approved equal.
- Where existing painted steel is to be fireproofed with intumescent mastic, existing paint surface must be checked for compatibility with intumescent coating prior to fireproofing application. Follow mastic fireproofing manufacturer’s instructions for compatibility check.
Coordination With Other Trades
Albi Clad 800 shall be installed after all steel is in place, but before ducts, pipe work, equipment or other obstructions are installed so that fireproofing can be applied to all exposed steel.
- Materials
Fireproofing
Fireproofing shall be applied in accordance with drawings or specifications, and shall conform to fire protective ratings as outlined by ASTM E-119 / UL263 and listed by Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc.
Coating
Intumescent mastic fireproof coating for interior use shall be Albi Clad 800 as manufactured by Albi Protective Coatings, Division of StanChem, Inc. 401 Berlin Street, East Berlin, Connecticut, USA, 06023.
Topcoating
2.2 TOPCOATING Overcoating is not required with Albi Clad 800. However, if a topcoat is required for color-coding, esthetics or additional surface protection against spills, a suitable topcoat shall be used. For unusually severe environments consult the fireproofing manufacturer for recommendations of appropriate topcoats.
- Installation & Finish
Installation
Albi Manufacturing recommends that installation be performed with the use of a pneumatic pump designed for application of heavy-duty, viscous materials and a heavy-duty, mastic spray gun. Compressor shall provide at least 80 CFM (2.3 m3/min.) of air at 100 PSI (7 kg/cm2). Material hose must be 3/4” (19.1 mm) I.D. Nylon or other corrosive resistant type suitable for strong solvents. Gun shall have minimum 3/4” (19.1 mm) material inlet and 3/8” (9.5mm) air inlet ports. Final wet film thickness application must conform to manufacturer’s listed design or to recommendations for specified rating. All surfaces shall be rolled prior to drying of surface film in order to remove unsightly drippings or surface irregularity. Small patchwork or damaged areas may be hand-troweled or gloved. When hand troweling, tools must be kept wet with Albi Clad solvent in order to avoid sticking.
Thickness Of Application
Albi Clad 800 shall be applied to the thickness required in accordance with the acceptable test data. Thickness shall be measured on the basis of wet film thickness taken by frequent random probe measurements during application. Although test data measurements are taken on dry film thickness, supervision of application must be undertaken while material is being installed, since final, cured, dry film thickness will reflect shrinkage due to evaporation of occluded solvents.
Sample Application
Before proceeding with the work, the applicator shall apply a section of approximately 100 sq. ft. (9.3 sq. meters) area. This section shall be witnessed by architect’s or owner’s representative and shall be subject to their approval to be used as guide for texture and thickness of the finished work.
Cleanup
Work area shall be maintained in an orderly condition with good housekeeping conditions prevailing. Upon completion of installation, all debris shall be cleared and removed from jobsite.
- Easy Application
For quick, easy installation, Albi Clad 800 is sprayed directly from the shipping container using standard, heavy-duty pneumatic spray equipment. Application may be performed in inclement weather. Application thickness depends on specified fire endurance rating. Albi Clad 800 must be applied by qualified, factory trained people in accordance with the manufacturer’s printed instructions and in compliance with specific test specifications. Steel surfaces must be primed with an approved primer before the application of Albi Clad 800.
Proven Performance
Tested by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and proven in numerous actual applications, Albi Clad 800 has provided superior performance under a wide range of environmental extremes throughout the world. Even under the most adverse conditions, lightweight Albi Clad 800 maintains longterm protection with outstanding hardness and durability. Its ability to withstand the adverse effects of wind, rain and weather makes Albi Clad 800 the preferred fireproofing material for refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, and a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.
Where To Specify
Specify Albi Clad 800 whenever and wherever you need a dependable, longlasting exterior fireproof coating capable of resisting abrasion, impact, freezing and thawing. Rugged, lightweight and attractive, Albi Clad 800 is optimal for application in a great many commercial, institutional and industrial environments.
