Description
A waterborne, one-part fire-resistant and acoustic rated joint sealant which provides a firm, flexible seal to joints in a wide variety of fire-rated structures where fire resistance up to four hours is required. Its intumescent properties cause the sealant to swell up and char in the presence of heat, preventing the spread of smoke and fire through the joint.
Features and benefits:
- Good adhesion to timber, plasterboard, masonry, blockwork, plaster, concrete and many other common building surfaces.
- Formulated using an acrylic emulsion to provide a firm seal whilst retaining a degree of flexibility.
- Up to four hours' fire resistance.
- Reduces sound transmission in joints.
- Suitable for horizontal and vertical joints without compromising fire rating performance.
- Joint movement capability of ±12.5%.
- Over-paintable with solvent and water based paints.
- Will not support combustion.
- Water based, solvent and halogen free.
- For use in joints up to 50 mm.
- Non-flammable.
- Tested to BS 476-20 and BS EN 13666-3 with additional guidelines from BS EN 1366-4.
- Contains fungicide.
- No slump or staining.
