Protecta EX Mortar is a dry white powder which consists of inorganic components and perlite. When water is added, a hardened thermal fire sealing compound for sealing through-penetrations that penetrate fire classified walls and floors.
The mortar expands approximately 1% during hardening and thus secures that through-penetrations and the walls and floors are sealed. The mortar hardens to a dry compound of approximately 1050 kg/m3 which may be sanded and drilled.
This fire resistant mortar is particularly designed for good adhesion in order that fire sealing may easily be built in walls and under floors. It has also been tested for all types of through-penetrations in all types of constructions and may be combined with Protecta Cable Transit, Collar and Pipe Wrap. It may also be cast in floors with post-tensioned steel in order to construct a load bearing construction (the reinforcement must be rust proofed).
