Cercrete is inherently non-combustible due to its inorganic mineral composition. Key fire performance attributes include:
- Structural Integrity: Maintains strength and stability at temperatures up to 3,000°F (1,650°C)
- No Spalling: Resists explosive spalling that causes conventional concrete failure
- No Toxic Emissions: Does not release harmful gases when exposed to fire
- Extended Fire Ratings: Provides >6-hour fire protection in ASTM testing
- Thermal Barrier: Excellent insulation properties protect underlying structures
These properties make Cercrete ideal for critical infrastructure, industrial facilities, and fire-rated construction assemblies.
