Fire retardant sheeting (trying to find correct name)

JohnCleary

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread...

Basically i'm looking for the proper name for the following...
It's a fire retardant sheeting / insulation / sound-proofing.
It's comes in semi-rigid sheets that can be cut easily with a saw
The last stuff I saw was about 1" - 1.5" thick
It has an adhesive on one side and foil on the other

I'm fitting this to the engine bay of a boat as it's a requirement for insurance (it was already on the last boat)

Despite Googling for the last half hour, I can't seem to find it as i'm obviously not searching using correct keywords.

Any ideas anyone? Cheers

Hi John I think this will do you http://www.chmarine.com/acatalog/Halyard_Marine_Sound_Insulation.html not cheep :eek: You can also get stuff on a roll from a motor factors that goes under the bonnet that might be cheeper.

I used to use this stuff in Australia when Fire rating the Lift shafts in apartment complex's. If its good enough for australian fire regs it should be good enough for a firewall for an enginebay.
Its rated at one hour fire resistance. You would need to apply with fire rated caulking.

try hardiebacker board. rightprice tiles have 6mm stuff thats used for stoves about €12, many diy places sell concrete particle board (rougher finish) 12mm 8x4 sheets about €50. b&q stock it too.
these boards are 100% fire proof, though may crack with vibration if not fixed ridgid to the hull, albeit they stay together.

Hardiebacker Board is fire-proof but will not insulate. I've seen it used over Bar-B-Q pits to stop pots/pans getting sooted up.
Because of the heat transfer it's not 1 hr rated. I imagine if you put 2 X 1/2" Gypsum Fireline board behind it, you may get what you need. Why not ask your insurance company!

In the end I went with a purpose-made product, Maritex.

Glad I did, it's the business!
