We Can Take the Heat
Our entire line of products has been designed to withstand varying degrees of intensity for use in buildings all across the globe. From schools and stores, to high-rises and hospitals, engineers and contractors in every vertical trust our products with protection against the devastating power of fire.
Superior Fire Protection from a Superior Product
We have developed MONOKOTE® products to satisfy all the fireproofing challenges faced in commercial construction. MONOKOTE® fireproofing can protect any environment — concealed from view or exposed — from abrasion and moisture, protecting steel or concrete.
The MONOKOTE® portfolio includes a series of specialized materials. There are products designed for industrial applications such as tunnels and petrochemical facilities, while others still provide thermal barriers over plastic surfaces such as polyurethane foam plastics (SPF). We even offer a UL-approved material for patching MONOKOTE® MK-5, MK-6 and MK-10 products.
All our products are cementitious, asbestos-free and are quick and easy to pump and spray. They're efficient to apply whether you're providing fire protection to underground tunnels or the upper reaches of a skyscraper.
