FyreBOARD Maxilite® is a thin, lightweight, high-performance fire-resistant board that is suited to various applications. Maxilite is stable under high temperatures 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.
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.
