Protek-13^TM Insulation

Protek-13 is an attractive, water based acrylic spray coating that provides a tough, durable surface over new or existing spray on insulation or fireproofing materials. Whether your facility has been around for years or is currently under construction, protecting your fibrous insulation and fireproofing with Protek-13 is quick and economical.

Product Description

Basic Uses

High traffic areas are often vulnerable to physical damage from personnel, machinery, birds, and other sources. The tough resilient surface of K-13 Protek resists abrasion and prevents the "picking away" of the fibers. This protection can greatly extend the useful life of the covered building materials.

Composition

K-13 Protek is an attractive, water based acrylic spray coating. It provides a tough, durable surface over new or existing spray on insulation or fireproofing materials. It is particularly suited to areas subject to physical damage or showing signs of wear and soiling.

Acoustical Properties

K-13 Protek provides a protective coating for your fibrous surfaces without significantly affecting the acoustical performance of the material underneath.
The following test was conducted by spraying two separate thicknesses of Protek over 1.75" of K-13 Spray-On thermal acoustical insulation. System 1 was applied in a light coating, covering 96-98% of the K-13 underneath. System 2 was a heavy coat, covering 99-100% of the underlying K-13. The following chart shows the acoustical performance of both systems.

Fire Resistance

K-13 Protek has a Class 1, Class A flame spread rating of 5 according to ASTM E-84.

High Light Reflectivity

The application of K-13 Protek can brighten your whole facility. This high light reflectivity greatly improves the safety of the working environment without requiring an increase in lighting power.

Colourful Options

Fibrous or porous substrate materials will absorb a great deal of regular paint without showing a significant color change. K-13 Protek due to its bridging and interlacing fibers provides an easily obtainable uniform color (at the surface) requiring less material. If a custom color is desired at the time of installation, Protek can be custom blended to match your design color scheme.
