Fire Rating

ASTM-C150 Standard Specification for Portland Cement 1999a

ASTM-E84 Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials 1990

 Material Specifications

 Physical Properties
High density concrete made of ASTMC 150 Portland cement, crushed stone, silica sand and polymers reinforced with continuous filament glass fiber mat and structural reinforced as required - asbestos free

Density: 140pcf (2240 kg/cu m)

Shell Thickness 3/8" to 3/4" (9.5mm) nominal

Surface Burning Characteristics: Flame spread index of 0, smoke developed index of 5

Weather resistance: No significant loss in strength or change in appearance after 200 hours accelerated weathering conducted in accordance with ASTMG-23

Flexural Strength 1000 to 1800 psi (5.9 to 12.4 MPa)

Modulus of Elasticity: 1.4 x 106 to 2.9 x 106

Compression Strength: Over 5000 psi (34 MPa)

Variations from Dimensions 1/16" to 1/8" (1.5 to 3mm)

 Manufacturing Process: 

 The raw materials are mixed into a slurry and sprayed into molds.  After a mist coat is applied,

 a chopper gun introduces the fiber to the matrix to reinforce the ZeamentTM. 

 The ZeamentTM part is allowed to dry in the mold.  It is then trimmed and demolded. 

 Depending on the finish, the surface may be sandblasted, then protected with a factory applied

 concrete sealer.

 Building Codes

 As there are numerous dominant Building Codes in existence and practice throughout

 North America, in addition to the many State-level and Provincial codes, Imperial strongly urges

  Specifiers and users to refer to their local codes as to the uses any building components
