Description
Applications
Structural steel members often require fire protection to prevent collapse in the event of a fire. Under high heat, the material properties of the steel change, making collapse likely. To avoid this the members can be clad in Trafalgar Corex to provide an AS4100 fully compliant and fire tested thermal insulation barrier.

Vertical Bulkheads
Trafalgar Corex is a thin, lightweight, high-performance fire rated board that is suited to various applications. Trafalgar Corex is stable and crack free under high temperatures making it ideal for constructing vertical fire rated bulkheads. Bulkheads are particularly useful to encase services within a fire rated compartment in situations where fire protection is required.
Trafalgar Corex is approved to the current AS1530.4 – 2014 and AS4072.1 for vertical bulkheads up to 4 meters high and 1, 2 or 3 sided bulkhead configurations.
Shaft walls are critical in any multi-level building in order to pass services vertically to satisfy various systems on differing levels. It is often ideal for these types of walls to be constructed from the outside of the shaft only.Trafalgar Corex is approved to the current AS1530.4 – 2014 and AS4072.1 as a fire-rated solid partition wall up to 4 meters high and infinite length to suit the application.Download the Technical Manual here
Just like any service penetration through different fire barriers, it is also common to see steel beams and purlins penetrating through fire-rated barriers. These steel beams and purlin penetrations must also be treated to ensure compliance under the NCC.
To address any heat transfer through the penetration during a fire (insulation performance) the steel can be encased with Trafalgar Corex board.
