Suitable for providing a seal between the top of the compartment wall, partition, fire-resistant suspended ceiling, and the structural soffit. The performance requirement determines the choice of material in terms of fire resistance (i.e. insulation and integrity) and size of the cavity. 

Uses include: 

• Fire-stopping voids above compartment walls and partitions up to 400mm depending on the fire performance required.
• As an acoustic barrier at tops of walls
