Expert Opinion

Dincel Wall complies with the relevant fire requirements in the BCA, and can be used for internal and external loadbearing wall applications

Dincel Structural Walling has been assessed and issued with BRAC Certificate of Accreditation which verifies that the product is compliant with the performance requirement CP2 – Spread of fire, and subsequently confirms that Dincel can be used where a non-combustible external wall is required.

Authority Standard/Report Type Results Report/Certificate No.

Dincel is a trusted Australian manufacturer, committed to manufacturing structural walling solutions that exceed the BCA requirements.

Dincel Walls consist of concrete infill and permanent polymer formwork. The stay-in-place polymer formwork acts as a ‘protective skin’ that holds the wet concrete until it sets.

The Dincel formwork system was specially designed and manufactured to ensure that the polymer skin will not melt away or contribute to the spread of fire.

Even if the outside surface chars or burns, the core component remains as ordinary concrete and this provides the required Fire Resistance Period (FRP) / Fire Resistance Level (FRL).

In accordance with BS 8102 the warranted Dincel Construction System can produce a basement wall which performs to Grade 2. The warranted Dincel Construction System can also produce a basement wall which performs to Grade 3 if a suitable inner-skin dry-wall is constructed beyond the Dincel Construction System wall and perimeter dish drain, and if appropriate dehumidification and/or air conditioning is put in place by others
