Siltech

Fire rated calcium silicate board

RCM Siltech is a non-combustible flexible calcium silicate building board which provides superior workability due to a unique fibre reinforced formulation.

Siltech can be used in an extensive range of applications from fire rated partitions, non-combustible ceiling tiles, boiler encasing, door lining, timber frame fire rated floors/ceilings as well as an extensive range of OEM applications.

Siltech has been tested for 60 and 120-minute fire rated partitions.
