Mandolite CP2 WHY ARE THE BENEFITS OF MANDOLITE CP2 ESSENTIAL UNDER ACTUAL FIRE CONDITIONS MANDOLITE CP2 will not fall after the prescribed regulatory fire resistance period but will continue to afford a predictable measure of protection for the duration of the fire. MANDOLITE CP2 effectiveness will not be impaired or destroyed by the effects of water impingement (thermal shock) from fire hoses or sprinkler systems. MANDOLITE CP2 will remain in place and will not be affected by wind turbulence. MANDOLITE CP2 protected structures have been successfully tested under BS 476: Part 21 : 1987 to failure temperatures of up to 800°C. This allows the Specifier the freedom to adopt a fire engineering approach to fire resistance in accordance with BS 5950: Parts 3 & 8: 1990, as well as the Fire Appendices of forthcoming Eurocode. WHY ARE THE SITE PROGRAMMING BENEFITS OF MANDOLITE CP2 SIGNIFICANT MANDOLITE CP2 is not constrained by the Building Programme thereby enabling application at a very early stage in the construction phase. MANDOLITE CP2 may be applied direct to bare steel when a priming system is considered unnecessary. MANDOLITE CP2 may be centrally pumped vertically or horizontally, thereby ensuring that all spray plant and material storage may be contained in one area. MANDOLITE CP2 may be easily removed and reinstated locally when additional fixings are required. MANDOLITE CP2 is suitable for application within return air plenums without surface treatment. MANDOLITE CP2 may be applied within environments where limited exposure to the elements is likely throughout the.
