Saint-Gobain Gyproc: Ultimate Fire Resistant Gypsum BoardSaint-Gobain Gyproc: Ultimate Fire Resistant Gypsum Board
In high-end construction, fire safety is not just a regulation—it is a commitment to life. Saint-Gobain Gyproc, a global leader in light construction, presents the Fire Resistant Gypsum Board (Pink Shield), a premium solution engineered to provide superior passive fire protection for modern interior wall and ceiling systems.
Designed for areas with stringent fire rating requirements, our boards act as a powerful barrier against heat and flames, ensuring structural stability and safety in critical moments.
1. Advanced Fire-Shield Technology
Fiber-Reinforced Core: The gypsum core is reinforced with glass fibers and special additives that maintain the board’s integrity even under intense heat, preventing it from collapsing during a fire.
Crystallized Water Technology: Gypsum contains approximately 21% chemically combined water. During a fire, this water is slowly released as steam (calcination), effectively absorbing heat and keeping the opposite side of the wall cool.
Extended Fire Ratings: When used in approved Gyproc systems, our boards can achieve fire resistance ratings of up to 1 to 4 hours, providing ample time for evacuation.
2. Technical Specifications & Performance
Standard Thicknesses: 12.5mm, 15mm, 15.9mm (Type X).
Dimensions: 1200x2400mm / 1220x2440mm (4'x8').
Surface Finish: High-quality pink-faced paper for easy identification on-site and a smooth finish for decoration.
