I am looking for information in museum standards for fireproofing art storage facilities.We are undergoing renovation in our museum storage and have been told that the structural steel beams must be sprayed with a fireproofing material to pass code. I am having a difficult time making those in charge of the construction realize that different rules apply to museum storage. I am concerned about the threat of the delamination of the material in 5-10 years and the consequences that might have on the artworks stored in that area. I am told that the product they are planning on using is something called "Cafko(?)". It sprays on and forms a hard ceramic-like shield that looks like oatmeal (I realize that isn't terribly scientific). I do have the chemical specs on the product but not at this desk. I would be most interested in learning how other museums have dealt with this issue, certainly someone has with the number of renovations and new construction projects going on across the country. I would appreciate any information or referrals that you could give. Please send responses either to the listerv or directly to me at both addresses: [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] (there has been some problems with e-mail at the university lately and this guarantees I receive your response.) I thank you in advance. Sincerely, Gail Kana Anderson Assistant Director/Curator of Collections Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art/The University of Oklahoma
