Fire Sealant

Fire sealant is an essential solution in modern safety systems. It is used to seal gaps and openings in walls, ceilings, and floors, preventing the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases from one room to another in the event of a fire.

This material is characterized by its ability to expand when exposed to high temperatures, enhancing insulation effectiveness and prolonging the structure's fire resistance. It also complies with international standards and is easily applied to various types of buildings, making it a vital component for protecting lives and property and ensuring compliance with safety requirements.

What are fire retardant materials and their different uses?

Fire sealant is a special insulating material used to seal joints, openings, and gaps in walls, ceilings, or floors inside buildings, to prevent the leakage of fire, smoke, and toxic gases from one area to another in the event of a fire.

 

Fire Sealant is an essential component of fire insulation systems because it enhances the building's ability to resist the spread of fire and provides additional time.For evacuationSafe.

The most important advantages and technical characteristics of fire protection materials

• Expands when exposed to high temperatures, increasing its effectiveness in sealing openings.
• Compatible with most surfaces such as concrete, brick, metal, and wood.
• Easy to apply and provides long-lasting protection.
• Certified to international safety standards such as ASTM and EN.

Quality standards and approved tests for fire-retardant materials

• ASTM E814 (UL 1479): Fire Penetration Test to measure the effectiveness of materials in sealing openings and preventing the escape of flame and smoke.
• ASTM E84: Flame Spread and Smoke Density Test on Building Material Surfaces.
• EN 1366-4: European test for the effectiveness of fire-retardant materials in joints and extensions.
• EN 13501-2: Fire performance classification of materials and systems used in construction.
• ISO 834: International standard for measuring the fire resistance of structural elements.
• UL Listed: Certification from UL Laboratories that certifies a material's compliance with global safety requirements.
• FM Approved: A certification that ensures materials pass rigorous quality tests.

 

Compliance with these tests and standards ensures that the fire sealant provides the highest levels of protection, achieves safety, and complies with international regulations.
