Description
TekTherm™ AK-FR Thermal Breaks are designed to be A2 fire rated as well as having a high compressive strength and low thermal conductivity. Compliant for use in buildings above 18 m under the Building Regulations Approved Document B, this material allows specifiers to meet multiple requirements in one.
TekTherm™ AK-FR has been independently tested and meets A2s1,d0 (Full laboratory report available on request). It can be supplied in cut pads, strips or in any other shape within the parameters of the material.
Features and benefits:
- A2s1,d0 fire rated.
- Asbestos free.
- Low heat conductivity.
- Excellent tolerances with respect to parallelism.
- Long life expectancy > 50 years (dependent on operating conditions).
- Low water absorption.
- Good hydrocarbon stability.
- Good chemical stability.
- Excellent mechanical durability.
- Very good electrical properties.
- SCI Assessed/ SCI member.
