CRI has been reinstating fireproofing on steel structures, vessels, furnaces, boilers and tanks and by removing expired and damaged fireproof protection and replacing it with new cementitious fire protection material. The bulk of these projects have been done on petrochemical refineries.

Our expertise encompass the supply and installation of the following cementitious fire protection systems.  

Tekrok C

o    Tekrok C is a new generation fireproofing plaster for use in the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries. It has recently been modified using advanced chemical technology improving durability and workability. This plaster is a factory pre-mix product that can be trowelled or spray applied and has been officially tested by the SABS for 120-minute fire protection and is in compliance with the NFPA58 specification for flammable gas storage vessels.

Tekrok S

o    Tekrok S is an economically proven cement pre-mix material for fireproofing structural columns and beams in commercial buildings or as a fire barrier system. It also has applications such as a condensation control material and as a spray applied monolithic coating. Tekrok S is of particular benefit where economic and speed of application are the main considerations. Tekrok S provides a number of benefits over conventional materials including durability, being light weight and asbestos free.

 Tekrok TG

o    Tekrok T.G is a modified form of Tekrok C through the addition of chemical additives. Tekrok T.G is used as a penetration seal for 120 minutes’ fire protection where material structural stability is required. Tekrok T.G plaster consists of Vermiculite, cement, lime, mica and thixotropic chemical additives which assist when trowelling. The plaster may only be applied by an approved specialist contractor for the use on structural steel and LPG Vessels in the Petrochemical Industry. Tekrok TG is specifically designed to meet the needs of Hydrocarbon and Chemical Processing Industries to withstand high thermal shock experienced in high intensity hydrocarbon fuelled fires.

 Tekrok Cast

o    Tekrok Cast has been specially formulated as a cast-in place material. Tekrok Cast is used as an encasement for structural columns where fire protection as well as aesthetics are required.
