Safer Ceilings: 9mm econotile (Gypsum Ceiling Tile) Now Rated A2-s1, d0 Under SANS 53501-1

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬;

𝙄𝙨 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙣-𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚? econotile is classified A2-s1, d0 under SANS 53501-1, which means it is practically non-combustible and contributes very little to fire growth. Only products with an A1 classification are considered fully non-combustible.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚? econotile carries an A2-s1, d0 reaction to fire classification under SANS 53501-1. This replaces its previous Class B/B1/2 result under SANS 10177-5 and SANS 10177-10.

𝙄𝙨 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙨? The A2-s1, d0 rating combines low combustibility with very low smoke production, which makes econotile well suited to most hospitals, clinics, schools, and escape routes where smoke toxicity and flame spread are critical. Some hospital areas require an A1 non-combustible classification, so always check the project specification.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘼2 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘽1? A2 means practically non-combustible, just below the A1 non-combustible class. The older B1 result classified the material as combustible, so moving to A2-s1, d0 is a clear improvement in fire performance.

🛠️ How do you mix jointing plaster?

Getting the mix right is key to achieving a smooth, workable finish.

💧 Always add the powder to the water — never water to the powder. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free paste.

📏 Follow the mixing ratio on the bag. For example:
• Casofour Jointfill: 5–5.5 litres of water per 10 kg
• Metajoint: 9–10 litres of water per 20 kg

⏱️ Allow the mix to soak where specified on the data sheet, then use it within the recommended working time.

Have questions about mixing or application? Let the Pelican Systems team know we’re here to help.

Master Jointing Plasters for Flawless Finishes.

Every flawless drywall installation starts at the joints. Even the best plasterboard system can be let down by visible seams, cracking or poor finishing if the wrong jointing plaster is used. The right product helps contractors work efficiently, cuts callbacks and leaves a smooth finish with no visible joints.

For contractors and architects, the jointing plaster you specify has a direct effect on installation time, project cost, and the finished standard of the interior. Choose well and the joints disappear under paint. Choose poorly and you fight the material, lose time and risk cracking later.

We have put together a technical comparison of three jointing plasters stocked by Pelican Systems, with application tips for plasterboard finishing.

JUMBO Jointing, Casofour Jointfill and OMV Metajoint.

It covers the technical specifications of each, a side-by-side comparison guide, and a set of trade tips for getting a flawless result on site.
