Fire Resistant is a single-component polyurethane foam in an aerosol canister. As the product is dispensed it produces a foam which reacting with the humidity in the air, increases in volume, gradually hardens and loses its initial tackiness. A grey, semi-rigid, waterproof and adhesive foam is produced. Its special formula provides the hardened foam with high resistance to fire. The hardened foam may be cut, holed, sanded, painted and plastered. It adheres firmly to wood, concrete, tile, asbestos cement, metal, glass and various plastics with the exception of polyethylene, Teflon and silicon. It also has high resistance to water, detergents, micro- organisms and chemical agents. Its uniform cellular structure and dimensional stability and the mechanical properties of the hardened foam make Fire Resistant ideal for gluing, securing, isolating, sealing and plugging when high resistance to fire is required. Using Fire Resistant, you can obtain joints with fire resistance up to REI 120, without the use of additional material such as rock wool on walls right down to a minimum thickness of 10 cm. The product is certified as EC 1 Plus by GEV in terms of very low emissions of volatile organic substances.
This has been proven in tests performed by CSI, Bollate (MI), an accredited testing agency authorised by the Civil Protection Directorate of the Italian Interior Ministry. CSI performed fire resistance tests in accordance with the standards EN 1366-4 and EN 1363-1. These tests showed that joints foamed with Fire Resistant as described in the table below prevent the passage of flames, fire and gas and guarantee thermal insulation for up to 120 minutes. The joints tested had the following geometries (see the Official Classification Test Reports No. CSI1760RF and No. CSI1761RF of 05/07/12). The wall was made with aerated, autoclaved concrete with a density of 500 kg/m3.
Joint size | Wall thickness | Joint class | ||
1 cm vertical | 10 cm | EI 90 | E 90 | V-X-W10 |
2 cm vertical | 10 cm | EI 60 | E 60 | V-X-W20 |
3 cm vertical | 15 cm | EI 90 | E 90 | V-X-W30 |
4 cm vertical | 15 cm | EI 60 | E 60 | V-X-W40 |
5 cm vertical | 15 cm | EI 45 | E 45 | V-X-W50 |
1 cm horizontal | 10 cm | EI 120 | E 120 | T-X-W10 |
2 cm horizontal | 10 cm | EI 90 | E 90 | T-X-W20 |
3 cm horizontal | 15 cm | EI 120 | E 120 | T-X-W30 |
4 cm horizontal | 15 cm | EI 60 | E 60 | T-X-W40 |
5 cm horizontal | 15 cm | EI 30 | E 45 | T-X-W50 |
Fire Resistant was also successfully tested in a horizontal construction (horizontal oven) as per EN 1366-4 standard and can therefore also be used for the joint between wall and ceiling (Orientation D as per EN 1366-4, Table 1). The values achieved for this application are shown in the table below. The floor base was made with aerated, autoclaved reinforced concrete with a density of 500 kg/m3.

5 cm | 15 cm | EI 60 | E 60 | H-X-W50 |
A 3 cm wide joint fully foamed with Fire Resistant complies with the B1 requirements of DIN 4102 – part 1. Reaction to fire testing in compliance with UNI EN 13501-1 and performed on joints with dimensions 1500x50x75 and 50x1000x75 mm (length x width x depth) at the ITB Fire Behaviour Laboratory in Warsaw, resulted in B-s2,d0 classification (EN 13501-1). The Official Classification Test Reports no. CSI1760RF and no. CSI1761RF of 05/07/12 (EI 120 issued by CSI, Bollate, Milan, Italy), no. 230004666 (B1 issued by MPA NRW, Erwitte, Germany) and no. NP-700/P/08/BP (reaction to fire classification as per EN 13501-1), are available on request. The Italian Interior Ministry Circular N° 91 of 14/09/61 (the standard previously used for fire resistance tests in Italy) states that Fire Resistant as described in the table below and as certified in CSI1129RF of 01/06/04 can be used to obtain joints which are fire resistant up to class REI 180.
Joint size | Wall thickness | Joint class | |
1 cm vertical | 24 cm | REI 180 | RE 180 |
2 cm vertical | 24 cm | REI 180 | RE 180 |
3 cm vertical | 24 cm | REI 180 | RE 180 |
4 cm vertical | 24 cm | REI 120 | RE 120 |
5 cm vertical | 24 cm | REI 120 | RE 120 |
3 cm horizontal | 24 cm | REI 180 | RE 180 |
5 cm horizontal | 24 cm | REI 180 | RE 180 |
Note: For more details about joints, see the official test certificate.
Fire Resistant is used for sealing linear joints in applications subject to fire regulations (EI classification).
Fire Resistant can also be used in applications where no specific fire resistance requirements covered by existing classifications are stipulated. In other words, it can be used in all those applications where a standard single-component polyurethane foam is required.
Fire Resistant complies with CEI 64-8, art. 511.1 having successfully passed the 850 °C Glow Wire Test as per CEI EN 60695-2-11 (certificate available on request). It can therefore also be used for fixing electrical conductors and junction boxes.
