Recent tragic events, such as the London's Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, has led UK authorities to ban combustible materials in cladding systems on new high-rise residential buildings. This project seeks to deliver a completely inorganic insulative product with an insulation performance akin to PIR foam, with the significant benefits inorganic materials br...

The FireStop project will develop a novel firestopping material that can be used for sealing the gaps in fire compartments between cables/pipes and the compartment wall. The project will focus on achieving flexibility of a foam based solution that is both 100% fireproof, and does not contain isocyanates. Unlike current technologies that prone to cracking ...

Alsitek mineral polymer materials are very effective fire resistant materials. Fires in oil and gas rigs as well as on tankers and in refineries can claim lives and be cripplingly expensive for the owners of the facilities. This project proves that ability so that Alsitek can enter that international market.

Alsitek, a british company that developed the world's first mineral polymer foam, is aiming high. The aim is to further develop that mineral polymer technology to produce a sprayable foam that can protect steel girders from fire and then replace mortar to make building more environmentally friendly as well as cheaper and quicker. It is not an easy task ah...

Geopolymers are an emerging sustainable, user friendly and recyclable group of materials. They have low embodied energy and are not made from fossil fuel raw materials as most conventional polymers are. This project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of making a foam geopolymer that can be used to effectively prevent fire spreading within buildings from ...
