Description
Fireproof Intumescent Sponge
Fireproof sponge impregnated and coated with intumescent material. Very flexible, but remains stable in small or large apertures. The sponge will not burn, it will simply char, in the event of a fire. It provides an extremely effective fire-stopping barrier, in effect providing passive fire protection. Available in sheets or strips from 10mm to 100mm thick to suit a variety of fire-stopping applications. See our references tab for the full availability of sizes. Additionally, unaffected by water or chemicals. The intumescent material is a substance that swells as a result of heat exposure, therefore leading to an increase in volume and decrease in density
For multiple uses; small or large expansion joints or movement joints under raised computer floors, between glass screen walls such as rainscreens with or without ventilation and concrete floors. Between metal cladding and concrete as well as modular buildings on top of each other.
Tested to BS476 Parts 20 and 22 (1987) achieving 240 minutes integrity and 138 minutes insulation. EN1366-3:2009 achieving 88 minutes. Thermal resistance testing was carried out to EN12667.
Fire barriers provide an effective solution for gaps or voids within buildings that require fire protection. Browse our full range of fire barrier products.
Advantages
– Provides 1-2 hours integrity, dependent on thickness- Available in a range of thicknesses from 10mm-60mm
– Can be used as an expansion joint in fire walls, floors, concrete slabs and steelwork
– Non-fibrous sponge, ideal for under raised floors in computer suites and in hospitals
– Sponge will expand in a fire, making it an ideal seal for service penetrations through a range of substrates
– Installing at a depth of 30mm into the wall will achieve 1 hour fire protection, where at a 40mm depth it achieves 2 hours fire protection
