Application

  • Specially tested for use in 60-minute fire-rated external and internal fire doors, flat entrance doors and external timber screens.
  • Can also be used to seal joints in walls, cladding panels, service penetrations, roofing and conservatory applications, as a capping sealant for bead glazing, and as a general sealant for construction use.
  • Correct application of the sealant is key to achieving appropriate fire resistance – see the installation guide for details.
  • The cured sealant is unaffected by water, dilute acids and alkalis, soap and household detergents. Certain solvents may soften and swell the cured rubber on prolonged contact.
  • A 310 ml cartridge will seal approximately 8.5 m with a 6 x 6 mm bead or 2.5 m with a joint dimension of 15 x 8 mm. 

 

Application considerations:

  • Don’t use in environments where there is high pedestrian or vehicle traffic which can damage the sealant.
  • Don’t submerge joints in porous substrates that might allow water to reach the bond interface.
  • Don’t use for applications subject to contact with food products.
  • Don’t use in the manufacture of aquariums or for sealing swimming pools.
