20. SEALING OF JOINTS
WHY SEAL JOINTS?
PREVENT WATER FROM PASSING THROUGH
JOINT
PREVENT INCOMPRESSIBLE MATERIALS FROM
ENTERING JOINTS – thereby allowing free
movement
of slabs
21. Materials are subject to Volumetric changes
Caused by changes in moisture content,temperature etc
These cause Movement
22. RESTRAINT OF EXPANSION MOVEMENT
DEVELOPMENT OF COMPRESSIVE STRESSES
RESTRAINT OF CONTRACTION MOVEMENT
DEVELOPMENT OF TENSILE STRESSES

32. What is Fire Stopping?
Fire Stopping is a method of
compartmentalisation within a building
that needs to be protected against the
passage of fire and smoke, whilst still
allowing for the penetration of services
through fire rated walls and floors.
34. Awareness
• Products tested in conjunction with
penetrating services
• Ensure load bearing products are
assessed/tested in a fire situation
• Never mix & match
• Use a competent installer
• Products installed to manufacturers
recommendations
35. Product Range
• Ablative Fire Boards
• Fire Rated Mortar
• Ablative Coatings, Cable Coating
• Pipe Seals – Collars, Wraps
• Sealant – Silicone, Acrylic, Intumescent Hybrid
• Linear Gap Seal
• Putty
• Fire Pillows
• Rain Screen / Floor and Cavity Barriers
• Curtains / Screens
• Fire Grills and Socket box Inserts (Putty)
• Flexi Coating
• Insulating Materials

37. Fire Stopping in Action
Before After
Fire is contained and office buildings remain intact. Escape
route/entrance route for fire fighters also remains safe.
Reduced damage, improved insurance negotiations.

PYROCOUSTIC
SEALANT
42. Pyrocoustic Overview
Pyrocoustic Sealant** is a one part,
Intumescent acrylic emulsion. It is
designed to resist the passage of both
fire and sound. The sealant will
intumesce and form a char that
provides a smoke and fire seal when
exposed to heat
** Intumescent Sealant, Mastic, Caulk
43. Pyrocoustic Sealant
• Fire resistance up to 5 hours
• An average sound reduction of 48dB
• Excellent movement capability of +/- 10%
• Cartridge packed makes product very
easy to use
• For use in Linear voids up to 50mm
• Also available in 600ml Foils
• White, Brown and Grey
44. Level 2 – Product Technical Data
