What is Fendolite MII? Fendolite MII is a spray applied, single package factory controlledpremix, based on vermiculite and Portland cement

Fendolite MII produces a monolithic coating able to withstand thethermal shocks experienced in a high intensity hydrocarbon fire.Concrete structures in particular, will be protected from explosivespalling when coated with Fendolite MII.

Although low in density, thus reducing dead load, Fendolite MII ishighly durable and will not crack or spall under mechanical impact

Fendolite MII does not release toxic or hazardous fumes, andpresents no known health hazards either before, during or afterapplication.

The surface may either be spray textured, roller or float finished.

Fendolite MII is used for application on construction elements suchas individual steel or concrete sections particularly where off-site

application is required.

Structures protected with Fendolite MII can provide up to 240minutes fire resistance.

Fendolite MII is for use on structures and vessels in the oil, gas,petrochemical and power industries.

Properties and Performance

Colour and Finish Off-white, with a monolithic spray texture, floated or roller finished

Minimum Practical Thickness 8mm when unreinforced. 15mm when reinforced

Theoretical Coverage 32m2

per tonne at 40mm thickness

Cure By hydraulic set

Initial Set 2 to 6 hours at 20C and 50% RH

Density Minimum 680kg/m3 15% (when dry and in place)

Combustibility Non-Combustible to BS 476: part 4

Smoke Generation Does not contribute to smoke generation

Thermal Conductivity 0.19 W/mK at 20C

Corrosion Resistance Does not promote corrosion of steel. However, a primed substrateis recommended for long term corrosion resistance, particularlywhen the structure is to be fully exposed to the elements

pH Value 12.012.5

Sound Absorption Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) 0.35

Fire Resistance Steel and concrete structures protected with Fendolite MII haveundergone fire resistance tests in approved independentlaboratories to recognized standards throughout the world including:

Australia (to AS1530 part 4)UK (to BS 476: Parts 20-21:1987 Appendix D)

USA (to ATSM E119 UL263 and UL1709-design No. XR704)Germany (to DIN 4102)

Fire Protection Thickness

General Considerations Fire protection thickness requirements are often specified in owneroperators engineering codes of practice.

Alternatively, consult the Trafalgar Technical department.

Preparation

Typical Substrates Steel and concrete

Substrate Preparation The substrate shall be clean, dry and free from dust, loosemillscale, loose rust, oil and any other condition preventing goodadhesion.

Fendolite MII can be applied to unprimed and primed steelwork.

Prior to the application of Fendolite MII, primed steel should beprepared by the application of Fendolite MII Spatterkote.

Mesh Reinforcement Most fire tests conducted have been carried out without meshreinforcement, to demonstrate the ability of Fendolite MII to stay inplace under the most severe fire conditions. However, for maximumlong term in-service durability, the use of lightweight meshreinforcement is recommended for exterior work and for interiorwork where vibration or mechanical damage and the possibility ofsubsequent de-bonding exist.

Application

Initial Steps Application of Fendolite MII must be carried out by an applicatorrecognized by Trafalgar Building Products and applied inaccordance with the Installation Guide available from TrafalgarBuilding Products

Methods Mix Fendolite MII with potable water in a suitable mixer and apply

by a spraying machine approved by Trafalgar Building Products.

Fendolite MII may be float or roller finished or left with a spraytexture. A hand applied patching mix is available for minor repairs.

Limitations Fendolite MII may be applied when the substrate and airtemperatures are at least 2C and rising, but should not be appliedif the substrate or air temperatures are less than 4C and falling.Maximum air and substrate temperature is 50C.

Substrate temperature should be at least 2C above dewpointtemperature.

Topcoating

General Considerations An approved topcoat may be applied over Fendolite MII forprotection from frequent wash down, long term chemical spills, orfor improved resistance to fungal, algal and bacterial growth.

Packaging, Storage, Shelf Life

Packaging 20kg Bags

Storage Off the ground and kept dry until ready for use

Shelf Life 12 Months Maximum
