MONOKOTE Z-156T - Ultra High Density Tunnel Grade Fireproofing
MONOKOTE® Z-156T high density cementitious fireproofing has been developed by GCP Applied Technologies to meet specialty and industrial fireproofing requirements requiring greater resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
MONOKOTE® Z-156T is a Portland cement-based, factory-mixed material requiring only the addition of water on the job for application. It is spray applied, providing up to 4 hours of fire resistance. Its physical characteristics are excellent for areas exposed to environmental or climatic conditions.
MONOKOTE® Z-156T may be used in areas where high durability and corrosion resistance is required such as substrates subjected to exterior exposure.
Approvals
- Up to 4 hours in accordance with UL 1709 hydrocarbon test
- Up to 4 hours in accordance with UL 263 (ASTM E119)
- Investigated by UL for exterior use
Features & Benefits
MONOKOTE® Z-156T offers the following advantages to architects, engineers, and applicators:
- Factory pre-mixed - Ready to use. No job site proportioning required. Simply add water in a standard paddle-type plaster mixer and apply with conventional plastering equipment.
- Attractive finishes - MONOKOTE® Z-156T may be sprayed or hand troweled after spraying to achieve a lightly textured appearance.
- Equipment versatility - MONOKOTE® Z-156T can be mixed in standard plaster mixers. After mixing, MONOKOTE® Z-156T may be spray-applied with commonly available pumping and spraying equipment.
- Corrosion inhibition - MONOKOTE® Z-156T neither prevents nor promotes the corrosion of steel, however, the inclusion of calcium nitrite as a corrosion inhibitor has been shown to retard the rate of corrosion due to salt and other aggressive environmental conditions.
- Durable - Hardness and maximum durability help resist accidental physical damage even in the toughest exposures.
- Weatherable - Able to withstand freeze/thaw, wind, rain and other climatic conditions.
Uses
MONOKOTE® Z-156T may be used in roadway tunnels and in exterior environments where a highly durable fireproofing is required and a threat of steel corrosion is present.
