A BIT ABOUT SEALANT TECHNOLOGY
SEALING OF JOINTS
PREVENT WATER FROM PASSING THROUGH JOINT
PREVENT INCOMPRESSIBLE MATERIALS FROM ENTERING JOINTS – thereby allowing free movement of slabs
WHY SEAL JOINTS?
Materials are subject to Volumetric changes
Caused by changes in moisture content,temperature etc
These cause Movement
RESTRAINT OF EXPANSION MOVEMENT
DEVELOPMENT OF COMPRESSIVE STRESSES
RESTRAINT OF CONTRACTION MOVEMENT
DEVELOPMENT OF TENSILE STRESSES
DEVELOPMENTS IN MATERIALS USED FOR JOINT SEALING

Fire Stopping is a method of compartmentalisation within a building that needs to be protected against the passage of fire and smoke, whilst still allowing for the penetration of services through fire rated walls and floors.
What is Fire Stopping?
Fire Stopping in Action
Fire Side
Fire Side Non Fire Side
• Products tested in conjunction with penetrating services• Ensure load bearing products are assessed/tested in a fire situation• Never mix & match• Use a competent installer• Products installed to manufacturers recommendations
Awareness
• Ablative Fire Boards• Fire Rated Mortar• Ablative Coatings, Cable Coating• Pipe Seals – Collars, Wraps• Sealant – Silicone, Acrylic, Intumescent Hybrid• Linear Gap Seal• Putty• Fire Pillows• Rain Screen / Floor and Cavity Barriers• Curtains / Screens • Fire Grills and Socket box Inserts (Putty)• Flexi Coating• Insulating Materials

Fire Stopping in Action
Before After
Fire is contained and office buildings remain intact. Escape route/entrance route for fire fighters also remains safe.
Reduced damage, improved insurance negotiations.

PYROCOUSTICSEALANT
Level 2 – Product Technical Data
Pyrocoustic Overview
Pyrocoustic Sealant** is a one part, Intumescent acrylic emulsion. It is designed to resist the passage of both fire and sound. The sealant will intumesce and form a char that provides a smoke and fire seal when exposed to heat
** Intumescent Sealant, Mastic, Caulk
Pyrocoustic Sealant
• Fire resistance up to 5 hours• An average sound reduction of 48dB• Excellent movement capability of +/- 10%• Cartridge packed makes product very easy to use• For use in Linear voids up to 50mm• Also available in 600ml Foils• White, Brown and Grey
SILVERSEAL MORTAR
Level 2 – Product Technical Data
Mortar Overview
Silverseal Fire Mortar is a unique one part, synthetic mortar which, when mixed with water, produces a trowelable or pourable compound suitable for the sealing of openings in walls and floors to prevent the passage of fire and smoke.
Product In Action
Silverseal Mortar
• 20kg & 25kg bags• Installed to 1, 2 and 4 hour resistance• Can be reactivated to extend working time• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use• Long life and easy to use• Up to 46dB reduction at 100mm thickness• Maximum opening span of 4.7m x unlimited• Can be mixed to pourable, trowelable or brick able consistencies
• Mortar is usually used in floor voids and is the ONLY Fire protection product that can be made load bearing.
• Usually sold to Fire stop specialists or structural engineers.
• Often used in conjunction with Stopseal Pipe Wraps

** Dependent on Frequency
Cable Coating
Firestopit DMA Cable Coating is a fire resistant flexible waterbased ablative coating designed for use in internal applicationswhere there is a need to upgrade the fire resistance of electricalpower and command cables
Cable Coating
• Protection of long cable runs in industrial buildings.• Protection of cables subject to risk of accidental ignition(e.g. steel works).• Upgrading the fire resistance of emergency commandcabling. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use without additionalenvironmental protection.• Independently fire tested to the requirements of IEC 60331-11--21 1999 for circuit integrity of electrical cable under fireconditions (>30 minutes circuit integrity achieved)• Successfully fire tested protecting a multi-cable bundle on aladder to the requirements of IEC 60331-3-22: 2000-Category A• Low dry film thickness required• Waterborne for easy application and cleaning of equipment• Application by spray or brush• Remains flexible once cured and is mould resistant• Halogen free, Non Toxic and does not contain ceramicfibres• Good adhesion to cables and associated supports• Excellent mechanical strength
