The true measure in fireproofing is Thermal Performance

For too long, the only comparisons people made of competing fireproofing materials was price—per pail, per bag, etc. It is a false comparison for a very simple reason. It fails to consider Thermal Performance, which can have a significant impact on a job’s installed cost.

At ISOLATEK INTERNATIONAL, we are driven to advance the technology of Thermal Performance in every product we make. The benefits of improved Thermal Performance are recognizable immediately. For instance, take our newest intumescent coating: CAFCO SprayFilm -WB 5. Due to improvements in Thermal Performance, SprayFilm -WB 5 requires thinner DFTs, which means it requires less material than competing products to achieve specified hourly ratings (See the advantage analysis).

Since SprayFilm -WB 5 requires less material, there is less waste, as well as less energy required to produce, ship and install it.

So the question to ask is not “How much is your product?” But rather “Which product is more profitable to my business?”
