Use of Geopolymer Matrix Composites in the Construction of Fire Doors

Abstract:

Protection and safety of workers in plants with the danger of fire is always the first place. They are currently used in devices that are designed to quickly separate the fire residues from workers such as steel fire doors filled with non-combustible materials that insulate the prescribed time up to 600 ° C. As the demands for safety was the requirement for resistance to temperatures higher than 600 ° C. [1, 2]. Post relates to improvements refractory properties of steel gates based geopolymer matrix composites. They are analyzed the properties of different materials such as fillers geopolymer matrix, durability and affinity to steel parts of the door structure.
