Flamex MS320 - Fire Rated Sealant
Verified by manufacturer 3 months ago
One-part, high modulus, fire rated trafficable sealant.
Application
For fire protection of construction, contraction and expansion joints within stadia terracing (due to high Shore A hardness), floors, curtain walling and building façades.
Description
A fire rated modified silane (MS) based sealant which cures quickly and provides good adhesion to most building materials. When subjected to fire, Flamex MS320 forms a stable insulating char which provides protection to the remaining sealant. Heat, flames and smoke are prevented from passing through the joint to adjacent areas of the structure.
Features and benefits:
- Tested in accordance with BS 1366-4.
- Up to a 5 hour fire rating in specified joint configurations.
- High modulus trafficable sealant.
- Prevents the passage of smoke through joints in fire conditions.
- In the form of a thixotropic paste.
- Can be applied to concrete or mild steel substrates.
- Available in 600 ml sachets.
