What it is for.
- Petrochemical: Cementitious fireproofing for refineries, gas processing and chemical plant.
- Commercial: Standard, medium and high density fireproofing for structural steel in buildings.
- Tunnels: Cementitious fireproofing for tunnels and severe exposure.
What it is not for.
The Avikote data sheets rule out use as a refractory cement, operating temperatures in excess of 93°C (200°F), and use on aluminum or other non-steel surfaces. For a kiln, an oven or a boiler lining, this is the wrong product.

- The fire design for your steel sets the thickness and the rating
- The project's fire engineer signs off the system
