Fire Resistant

Polyurethane foam with high resistance to fire.

Polyurethane foam with high resistance to fire.

  • Fire resistance up to EI 120
  • Essential in the installation of fire doors
  • Ideal for applications subject to fire regulations
  • Ideal for mounting electrical junction boxes/plants

Application areas

Choose Fire Resistant for

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.

Fire Resistant is a single-component, grey polyurethane foam, packaged in an aerosol can. The special formulation gives the hardened product high fire resistance. It adheres tenaciously to wood, concrete, brick, fibre cement, metal, glass and various plastics with the exception of polyethylene, Teflon and silicone. Its resistance to water, detergents and microorganisms as well as chemicals is good. The hardened foam can be cut, drilled, sanded, painted, plastered. The uniform cell structure, dimensional stability and mechanical properties of the hardened foam make Fire Resistant the ideal product for bonding, fixing, insulating, sealing and plugging where high fire resistance is required. Using Fire Resistant it is possible to create linear joints with fire resistance up to EI 120 – without the use of auxiliary materials such as rock wool or similar – and with walls as thin as 10 cm. The product is certified as EC 1 Plus by GEV in terms of very low emissions of volatile organic substances.

Instructions for use

1. The surfaces must be free of oil, grease and dust. Wet the surface before application to guarantee that the fresh foam has the humidity required to form a uniform cellular structure. Do not spray water on the foam while it is hardening. The humidity in the air is sufficient to guarantee complete curing of the foam.
2. Remove the protective cap from the can and screw it onto the gun.
3. Shake the aerosol for at least 15 seconds before use and repeat this operation if you stop working at any stage.
4. Turn the aerosol upside-down so that the valve is facing down, point the gun as required and press the dispenser with your fingers. The amount of foam required to fill the cavity depends on the subsequent expansion of the foam. Under normal conditions (23 °C and 50% R.H.), the foam usually doubles its initial volume.
5. Complete hardening of the foam is reached approximately one hour after application. After that interval, any excess can be cut off with a cutter or sanded down with sandpaper.
6. If you do not use the full contents of a can, return it to its upright position and press the nozzle for a few moments. The escaping gas will clean the valve and gun.

Cleaning
Traces of uncured foam, e.g. on clothing, tools, etc., can be cleaned with cleaner for polyurethane foam. Cured foam can only be removed mechanically (scraping or sanding).

Storage

Keep cool in an upright position. Avoid storing in a horizontal position, as this will quickly lead to the formation of fouling under the valve, which will irreparably compromise foam extrusion. Fire Resistant is stable for at least 18 months if stored upright, cool (below +25 °C), in a dry place and in the original unopened packaging. Observe the expiry date indicated on the canister.

Warnings

Substrates and structures that are completely saturated with water prevent foam adhesion.
The Fire Resistant aerosol is a pressurised container. Keep away from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures above 50 °C. Do not puncture or burn even when empty. Do not spray on a naked flame or an incandescent element. Store at a distance from any source of combustion. Do not smoke. Keep out of the reach of children. Contains diphenylmethane –4,4’, diisocyanate (EEC no. 615-005-01-9). Highly flammable. Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Can irritate the eyes, airways and skin. Can cause an allergic reaction if inhaled or if it comes into contact with the skin. Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not inhale aerosol content. In the event of contact with the eyes rinse immediately with lots of running water and consult a doctor. In the event of contact with the skin wash with lots of running water and soap. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. In the event of insufficient ventilation, use appropriate breathing apparatus. In the event of an accident or malaise, consult a doctor immediately (if possible, showing him the label).
