Design Advantages
- Superior Movement capabilities up to 2” overall
- Positive attachment via friction fit or mechanical fasteners every 24” O/C
- Eliminate reliance upon adhesion and bond strength of fire caulk/spray or fire-proofing
- Avoid adhesive failure due to dirty, wet, oil coated, or frost covered surface
- 100% unencumbered movement capabilities
- Eliminate mineral wool or caulk in head of wall gap and encumbered compression
- Eliminate elasticity limitations of fire caulk or spray restricting assembly movement
- No fatigue to the firestopping for the life of the assembly
- Avoid cohesive failure of mastic fire caulks or sprays during assembly cycling
- Eliminate shrinkage, cracking, or tearing of uncured/cured mastic materials
- No displacement of firestopping materials from contact or compression
- Protection provided for both 1 and 2 hour assemblies with same profile
- Eliminate under application of fire caulks and sprays
- Same continuous protection during both extension and compression
- Listings and ratings based on level III (seismic) movement
- Avoid substrate (i.e. fire-proofing) failure resulting from stress applied by sealants
- Over 50 UL approved and listed system designs
- Assembly conditions under flat concrete
- Parallel and perpendicular condition assemblies under both floor and roof pan deck
- Solutions for up to 2” movement conditions parallel and perpendicular to structural beams
- Aids in “flute fill” retention eliminating caulks/sprays, flute plates, drywall rips or drywall contour cuts
- Works with standard and UL certified proprietary deflection tracks
- Protection of joints in CMU, Block, and Brick wall assemblies
- Product Identification and approval recognition every 4’ for easy inspection
- STC capabilities same range as acoustical caulks
- L-Rating of less than 1 CFM/lft
- Cured intumescent makes product odor free and effective immediately
- Unaffected by wet, freezing, humid, or hot (below 300 F) conditions
- No “overspray” of materials onto wall or MEP’s
