FIRE SPREADING AND HOW TO AVOID IT

Anti-fire spread is a burning problem of contractors and owners. In order to avoid unfortunate incidents that turn into fires that take away so many lives, fire prevention measures are an extremely important criterion in construction that any construction project should put on priority. 

1. What is fire spread? and common types of fire spread
A fire spread is a case where a fire starts at one location and spreads to other locations through the floor opening system and technical shafts. There are three most common types of fire spread in buildings: fire spread by conduction, fire spread by convection, and fire spread by heat radiation.

2. Fire spread due to conduction

Flames often spread with heat or sometimes the heat from the heat stream itself will create sparks.

3. Fire spread by convection
This form of fire spread is common in gases and liquids. The heat from the flame will heat the air to a very high temperature. The hotter air will fly higher and follow the ceiling to spread throughout the room.

4. Fire spread due to heat radiation
For this type of fire spread, heat does not travel through a material as conduction fires do, nor does it travel through air or liquids as convection fires do. Heat energy is transferred through radiant rays, directly from the flame. Flammable materials will absorb these rays, and when hot enough, they will ignite.

5. Solution against fire spread
- The solution of using fireproof mortar for construction sites or factories with the following main uses:

- Provides an effective barrier to prevent smoke and fire from spreading.

- Fire resistance up to 240 minutes

- Quick hardening, no shrinkage, can be used in the form of casting or plastering.

This is the optimal solution to prevent smoke and prevent fire spread. Capable of sealing into small gaps between ducts and walls, between technical pipes, ensuring tightness across the entire floor opening cross-section. The solution is used in combination with non-combustible finishes that meet the specified bearing capacity, integrity, and insulation standards.
