FIRESTOP FOR CONSTRUCTION JOINTS & OPENINGS
Firestop For Construction Joints & Openings
Sealant-Based Firestop System
A sealant-based firestop system is a passive fire prevention system that uses a sealant material to fill the gaps and openings surrounding cables, pipes, ducts, and other penetrations in walls and floors. Sealant-based firestop systems consist of water-based acoustic acrylic sealant and mineral wool boards coated on both sides with a flexible waterborne fire resistant ablative coating. It works as a barrier, preventing the spread of smoke, fire, and hazardous gasses throughout the structure. They are tested and certified to meet the requirements of BS 476: Part 20: 1987.
Key Benefits
- Easy to apply and suitable for varied penetrations.
- Flexible enough to accommodate thermal and mechanical motions of buildings and services.
- Cost-effective and with minimal wastage.
- Quick setting
Characteristics And Features
Up to 4 hours fire resistance (Integrity and Insulation).
Independently fire tested and assessed to the requirement of BS 476: Part 20: 1987 and performance certified by Bodycote Warrington fire Certification.
