A new type of expansion joint, where the sponge is impregnated with a fireproof material, which will expand around cables and services in a fire, giving a smoke/gas and fire seal.
Advantages:
Provides 1-2 hours integrity, dependent on thickness- Available in a range of thicknesses from 10mm-60mm.
Can be used as an expansion joint in fire walls, floors, concrete slabs and steelwork.
Non-fibrous sponge, ideal for under raised floors in computer suites and in hospitals.
Sponge will expand in a fire, making it an ideal seal for service penetrations through a range of substrates.
Installing at a depth of 30mm into the wall will achieve 1 hour fire protection, where at a 40mm depth it achieves 2 hours fire protection.
