CAFCO BLAZE-SHIELD II: Application Manual Video

Guidance video for application and installation of the steel-fireproofing product CAFCO BLAZE-SHIELD II. Produced by Isolatek International. This asbestos-free sprayed fire-resistant material (SFRM) was used for post-construction repairs and upgrades of the fireproof coating on the structural steel in the twin towers (WTC 1 & 2). From the product overview : "CAFCO® BLAZE-SHIELD® II is the industry-leading commercial density Dry Mix Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Material (SFRM). It is an inorganic, environmentally friendly, Portland cement- based formulation that provides superior fire resistance for structural steel and concrete in commercial construction environments. This is the product of choice particularly when exposure to severe weather conditions during the construction phase is necessary, or when application efficiency, along with excellent thermal and acoustical insulation properties are desired. With all of these added benefits, it’s wise to follow the advice of many of our customers, “Don’t just fire proof it, BLAZE-SHIELD it.” CAFCO BLAZE-SHIELD II is the only commercial density product that is classified as “investigated for exterior use” by Underwriters Laboratories, thus allowing it to remain exposed to extreme weather conditions during the construction process."

Original MPEG-2 video has been deinterlaced, denoised and upscaled to 2160p. Frame rate doubled. Color saturation and levels have been adjusted. Frame has been re-centered by cropping the unevenly wide frame borders, adding even ones and resizing the new frame to 640x480 px by preserving the 4:3 aspect ratio before upscaling. Audio volume has been increased by 12 dB and audio denoised. Audio delay of +64 ms has been corrected.
