. They do intumescent lining for alsort of enclosures.

12mm glass fibre probably means the glass-lined plasterboard used in fireproofing. I believe one side is pink. I can't remember. The 100mm fibreglass is any wool of that sort with such a nominal thickness. A roll unravels to about that depth in a loft for instance.

In studding it is used to prevent fire from spreading behind the studwork by hanging a barricade of it on chicken-wire and by lining between ceilings and floors.
