WE KEEP A LOW PROFILE
EnCap liquid fire protection system seamlessly extends the elegance of mass timber construction to passive fire safety. This sustainable solution follows any design flow while offering compliant fire protection. Think free form, light weight and increased living space.
The smartest way to safeguard mass timber members
The earlier, the better
Mass timber makes construction fire safety a priority. EnCap allows for the earliest fire protection during construction on the market, keeping property and teams onsite safe as soon as possible.
Eco-concious Buildings
Safe for the environment, safe for occupants. EnCap is a cradle-to-cradle solution that combines a small environmental footprint with being non-toxic (NZGBC) and supporting a biophilic approach.
Smarter Construction
At 1mm thick EnCap keeps a low profile - in line with the high accuracy & aesthetics of mass timber design. It supports a quite & waste free site, sequencing, and minimal crane time, reducing overall project time.
Fully Tested & Endorsed
EnCap is the only tested & endorsed intumescent encapsulation solution (45 min rating) for structural mass timber elements in the Australasian market.
EnCap is a fully tested & endorsed intumescent coating system that provides a 45min encapsulation rating* for structural mass timber members.
Tested to an innovative regime, that included benchmarking the fire resistance of the substrate, EnCap offers the following
– FRR 90/90/90 for floor & wall system
– Enhanced performance of fire stopping
– FRR 60/60/60 for fully lined floor & wall system
*An Encapsulation rating is the time in minutes that a fire-resistant insulative material (or assembly of materials) will limit the temperature of the substrate to below its failure temperature, e.g., 300°C for mass timber elements. Tested to AS1530.4 : 2014.

SOLVING THE CHALLENGES OF NEW HEIGHTS
EnCap only adds a coat of 1mm thick to compliantly protect walls, floors, beams & columns, saving on added weight on every floor and allowing for tenants to expand their living spaces.
EnCap's fast & early application combined with environmentally friendly properties allows people to move into a healthy space faster.
RECOMMENDED FOR :
New builds, multistorey & multi- tenancy buildings, building complexes
Safety during Construction
COMBUSTABLE MEMBERS CHANGE THE CONSTRUCTION SAFETY GAME
Drastically increased fuel loads, exposed without any fire safety systems in place, make fire protection during construction the highest priority.
EnCap delivers passive fire safety to watertight buildings - no need to wait until the building is weathertight to protect your assets and the people on site.
RECOMMENDED FOR :
New Builds, mass timber extensions, multistorey & multi- tenancy structures
