COLD FUSION CONCRETE®-FP250
Cold Fusion Concrete® FP250 contains 50–60% recycled content and can be helpful in obtaining LEED certifications.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
This UL263 Listed (Design X860) and UL1709 Listed (Design XR746), 42 to 50 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) density material contains fire resistant microfiber to resist cracking during seismic events or shipping and handling of coated members. This fiber, combined with an early and final compressive strength greater than that in any other cementitious fireproofing material, makes FP250 the material of choice. FP250 contains no Portland cement and consequently has none of the weaknesses of conventional cementitious fireproofing materials, including resistance to extreme heat and cold and salt water spray. FP250 has an elevated resistance to acids, solvents, chlorides, and sulfates.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Geopolymer Solutions, LLC (GPS) has developed Cold Fusion Concrete ® (CFC) FP250. FP250 is designed for use where excellent durability and chemical resistance is desired.
CFC® FP-250
No Other SFRM comes close
With superior properties that no other SFRM can match, our CFC FP-series ups the game in cementitious fireproofing. With a bond strength of over 2500 PSF at 42-50 PCF, FP-250 can be applied (even at our 4-hr rating) in a single lift and chemically bonds with the steel providing exceptional corrosion protection. Being an environmentally friendly GREEN Product is an additional feature making it “Best In Class”.

FP250 may be pumped in any suitable rotor stator, squeeze, or piston type pump. Application delays of greater than 30 minutes should not occur without emptying the pump and pump lines or elevating the water content for pumping delays. The water content of FP250 should be calibrated for extended pump lines or substantial elevation increases but the sprayed wet density should be maintained as described above.
MIXING & APPLICATION
Mixing FP250 may occur in a mechanical paddle type mixer if a continuous mixing apparatus is not used. Water should be added to the mixer first at a rate of approximately 4.0 to 5.0 gallons per 50 lb. bag, the water can then be adjusted to achieve a sprayed wet density of between 60 and 70 pcf. Mixing should continue for a minimum of 60 seconds. FP250 contains no Portland cement and the strength is produced from sodium silicate, calcium hydroxide, pozzolans, and other materials. Accordingly, variable water chemistry may increase or decrease the water demand of FP250 and after adjusting to the necessary wet density, the calibrated water amount should be recorded and maintained. Coverage rate is 15.4 bd/ft/bag at UL minimum density, 14.3 bd/ft/bag at UL average density.
TESTING
Testing for thickness and density may occur immediately, but due to the elevated compressive and bond strength should occur within 24 hours. Testing after 24 hours is possible but may be difficult. FP250 has been tested in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) standards using UL263 and UL1709 time-temperature burn curves. UL observed GPS facilities and has provided a Manufacturers Classification for GPS. GPS is unaware of any other commercially available high-density fireproofing material which is Portland cement free. Our geopolymer concrete technology was patented in June 2017. Tetraborate and Metasilicate are 2 components of our Cold Fusion Concrete that act as corrosion inhibitors. The ability to apply FP250 to any size steel up to a 4-hour rating in a single one-pass layer means the economics of CFC FP250 is second to none. FP250 should be specified where long lasting fireproofing with high abrasion, impact and chemical resistance is required. FP250 is ideal for use in a wide variety of commercial, institutional and industrial environments where sufficiently rugged fireproofing is needed. FP250 withstands weathering and chemical exposure and is highly recommended for use on offshore drilling platforms, petrochemical plants, power plants, military and dock facilities, since the estimated life-span of this CFC, geopolymer concrete, material is 10 times that of traditional Portland cement concrete.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Prepare the surface according to SSPC, SP-2 and/or SP-3 guidelines. Remove any existing prime coat materials which are not alkali resistant. FP250 should be placed when the surface and ambient temperature is above 40°F, and when the surface temperature is below 300°F, once cured the constant operating temperature of the steel substrate should not exceed 1200°F. FP250 should be protected from freezing for 4 days.
US PATENTS
The following US Patents apply to this technology #9,670,096 #9,944,560 #9,725,365 #9,932,269.
FINISHING
Finishing may occur at any convenient time up to about 2–3 hours after application at ambient temperatures less than 85°F. Finishing after ½ hour may occur, however, will become more difficult to level the surface. Ambient temperatures exceeding 85°F, and direct sunlight, will expedite the set time of FP250. Steel troweled smooth finishing may be improved with the addition of a small amount of GPS’s Fusion Finish, especially if finishing is slightly delayed.
SHELF-LIFE & STORAGE
The shelf-life of stored FP250 is approximately 6 months for paper bags and super sacks stored in a humidity and temperature controlled environment, and approximately 3 years for lined paper and plastic bags.
