DESCRIPTION
FFX Fire-X 310ml C3 Intumescent Sealant White - HH0119100810
FFX FIRE-X 4 hour fire rated intumescent and acoustic acrylic sealant is a halogen free, polymer emulsion-based sealant that swells when subjected to temperatures in excess of 125°C and forms a char coat that restricts the passage of smoke and fire. Ideal for sealing door casings, service penetrations, partitioning, fire protection boards, cladding and low movement construction joints where a fire rating is required. Can be used to seal joints up to 35mm wide (a depth pf 8mm is recommended). It is easily applied and dries to a flexible and smooth surfaced material which is readily over paintable. It has excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates and will not harden or crack with age. And provides acoustic and sound dampening properties. Supplied as a 310ml cartridge.
FFX FIRE-X 4 hour fire rated intumescent & acoustic acrylic sealant has been independently tested to the following assessments:
- BS EN 1366-3: 2004 & BS EN 1366-4: 2006 Tested at Bodycote Warrington Fire, report No. 173658A achieving 4-hour integrity and insulation rating for a range of linear and penetration seals.
- BRE Global Assessment Report. CC 201709 14th Jan 2020
- An indicative fire test based on BS476 Part 20 & 22 at Warrington Fire Research and achieved a 4-hour fire rating (integrity) for a range of vertical and horizontal joints up to 35mm wide between various non-combustible construction materials. A 1-hour fire rating (integrity) was achieved for a range of vertical joints up to 25mm wide between combustible materials (timber).
