STARC Systems, a manufacturer of temporary modular wall containment solutions used for occupied renovations and infection isolation, has unveiled FireblockWall, a modular reusable one-hour fire-rated temporary containment system. Two laborers can install a 10- by 15-foot corner room in 90 minutes, which is an estimated four times faster than traditional drywall, plus no taping, mudding, sanding, painting or cleanup is required. It is designed to meet NFPA 101 or IBC code and provides an STC rating of 40. The contain- ment system exceeds ICRA Class IV (infection control), ASTM E119 and ASTM E84 requirements. The reusable walls include a negative air panel to discharge air, keeping dangerous dust off the ground, and the damper automatically closes when temperatures exceed 165 F.
