| Interior Concealed |
Interior concealed locations with normal building atmospheres represent low potential for fireproofing damage and are the traditional areas for standard density gypsum based products. |
STANDARD DENSITY Type 5GP or Type 5EF Gypsum Based Fireproofing |
|
Interior Exposed Out ofReach |
Interior exposed but out of reach locations where the fireproofing is exposed to view but not easily reached by occupants also use standard density gypsum based fireproofing. Acoustical ceiling coatings are a similar application. |

|
Interior Exposed Witin Reach |
Interior exposed and within reach locations pose a higher potential for physical damage and require the added strength of medium density fireproofing. Gypsum based materials are preferred in this exposure condition under most building atmospheres. |
MEDIUM DENSITY Type 5MD Gypsum Based Fireproofing |
|
A, B or C Above Plus Water Exposure |
Conditions A, B or C combined with prolonged exposure to moisture or extremely high humidity require the water resistance of a Portland cement product. |
MEDIUM DENSITY Type 7GP Portland Cement Based Fireproofing |
|
Exposed to Physical Abuse and Water |
Exposure to physical abuse and water requires a high density Portland cement product. |
HIGH DENSITY Type 7HD Portland Cement Based Fireproofing |
|
Exterior Exposed or Industrial Atmosphere |
Exterior weather exposure and industrial atmospheres require a high density product tested and approved for exterior use. |
HIGH DENSITY Type 1XR Portland Cement Based Fireproofing |
