Monokote MK-6s

Gypsum based fireproofing, spray applied to structural steel and decking on small projects.

Type MK-6s is spray applied directly to structural steel and steel decking, providing up to 4 hours of fire resistance. Type MK-6s is well suited for projects where access to substrate is limited, mobilization times need to be minimized and overall project size is small.

Also asked for as: Monokote MK6S, MK-6S.

  • Factory Pre-Mixed: Ready to use. No job site proportioning required
  • Permanent: When set and dry, Type MK-6s is a fully passive fire protection
  • Durable: Its hardness and durability help resist accidental physical damage
