Technology

How Akusta Works

Endothermic mineral technology creates a protective barrier and helps delay fire.

Heat in~270 °CCoolingStable
Heat Exposure
01.

Heat Exposure

Flame contact transfers heat into the material surface.

Endothermic Reaction
02.

Endothermic Reaction

At approximately 180-200 C the mateiral absorbs heat and releases cooling water vapour

Heat penetration delayed
03.

Heat penetration delayed

Water vapour cools the material heat transfer significantly delayed
