Description
Intumescent Pads for Trunking
Intumescent pads with adhesive on one side are designed to be fixed to the inside of plastic or metal trunking. Designed for multi-opening PVC trunking with services passing between walls or ceilings. The intumescent will expand in a fire and seal the inside of the trunking, thus preventing spread of fire.
Specifically designed to compress cables and fill the entire width of the trunking to stop fires spreading.
An excess of wires causes an electrical hazard if not properly wired or supported. Fires quickly spread through buildings in the event that combustion occurs. Where cables or electrical services pass through trunking, there is a risk of fires spreading from overheated wires.
- Installing intumescent pads creates a fire seal within trunking, able to effectively compartmentalise fires.
- It’s lightweight, flexible material makes it easy to cut to size as required.
An alternative product for protecting cables is Product 110 – Firoblok for Plastic Trunking.
