Total passive fire protection cannot be achieved with the use of a singular product. It
is the use of many products designed for specific applications that comprise a complete passive
fire protection system. When installed properly, these products work in concert with one

gases. Used in conjunction with other fire protection methods, properly installed passive fire
protection will save lives, protect property, and minimize business losses.
