Description
FyreBOARD Maxilite® is a thin, lightweight, high-performance fire-resistant board that is suited to various applications. Maxilite is stable under high temperatures and remains strong and free of cracks, even when exposed to fully developed fires which makes it the perfect solution for constructing fire-rated bulkheads, ceilings, and enclosures and provides fire compartmentation around building services and is approved to AS1530.4-2014. Please review the technical manual for a full list of specific system FRL’s and installation requirements. Maxilite is a calcium silicate-based product and is bonded together with non-organic binders. It is completely free from asbestos, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), and ozone-depleting potential (ODP). Maxilite is an extremely effective insulating refractory board.
Due to the lightweight construction of the board, Maxilite is easy to handle and work with, ensuring quick onsite installation, whilst retaining suitable fire performance. Maxilite’s high fire performance ensures minimal thicknesses are required, hence less material usage and cost.

FyreBOARD Maxilite Applications:
FyreBOARD Maxilite® offers a comprehensive board solution for closing down large openings around service penetrations for electrical, mechanical and plumbing services and has been approved for fire ratings of up to 240mins (service dependent) to AS1530.4-2014. Maxilite is used as a full system with a combination of FyreFLEX Sealant, TWrap, the retrofit FyreCOLLAR range, and certain size FyreBOX’s. Please review the technical manual for a full list of specific system FRLs and installation requirements.

Often fire dampers are installed into openings that are too large to install correctly, so FyreBOARD Maxilite® has been approved for use to pack out the gaps around mechanical and intumescent fire dampers in walls and floors, in accordance with AS1530.4-2014. Please review the technical manual for a full list of specific system FRL’s and installation requirements.
FyreBOARD Maxilite® is a lightweight high performance fire rated board available in 30mm, 40mm and 60mm thicknesses for use in fire protection for a large range of structural steel sizes and types for up to 4 hours of protection. FyreBOARD Maxilite® has been tested to various international test standards as well as AS1530.4, with complete regression analysis that complies with AS4100 as appropriate for steel protection under Schedule 5 of the NCC. Please review the Structural Steel technical manual to look up your steel section/size to find what thickness of board is needed for your next project.
Where concrete slabs, walls or beams are poured too thin or don’t have enough cover over reo-bars to comply with AS3600 requirements for fire design, FyreBOARD Maxilite® provides a lightweight board option that is perfect for upgrading these non-compliant concrete structures, without adding lots of weight compared with spray and plasterboard systems. FyreBOARD Maxilite® is a lightweight high-performance fire rated board available in 30mm, 40mm and 60mm thicknesses and as an added benefit is compatible with approved service penetrations without any fire-engineered solutions required.

FyreBOARD Maxilite® has been approved for use as a compliant penetration system to fix to the soffit of a concrete slab to protect services that feed into floor mounted switch boxes, such are commonplace in board-rooms and schools. This system also provides a compliant system to seal PVC conduits that are cast-into the concrete floor and exit at through soffit of the slab. Services that pass through the FyreBOARD Maxilite® in this configuration can be sealed with FyreFLEX® sealant (for cables) and continuous PVC conduits may be treated by installing a retrofit FyreCOLLAR fixed into the FyreBOARD Maxilite® as shown in the installation drawings in the below technical manual.
