Tectonite

Warm Springs Composite Products, a Native American-owned manufacturer based in Central Oregon, has for many years supplied its Tectonite-based fire-rated door components to door manufacturers for high-rise commercial and industrial construction projects the world over. A unique amalgam of diatomaceous earth, fiberglass, recycled wood fiber, and other ingredients, Tectonite was first developed and tested internally by Warm Springs Composite Products in 1993. The material has since been tested and certified by five different testing agencies to achieve fire ratings from 20 to 90 minutes to meet U.S. standards and up to 180 minutes to meet British standards. Widely known in the industry, Tectonite forms the basis of WSCP's line of value-added fire-rated door components.
