PROTECTA® FR ACRYLIC

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

General Product Description

Designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through joints and
openings in fire rated walls and floors (including openings formed around
building service penetrations); Protecta® FR Acrylic will also maintain
acoustic design performance.

When subjected to atmospheric conditions, the sealant cures however, it

will retain a degree of elasticity for joint movement. Under fire exposure,
Protecta® FR Acrylic creates a robust fire seal by the formation of a
durable intumescent char.

Protecta® FR Acrylic can be used with a suitable filling material i.e. stone
wool or Protecta® backing material in order to secure correct width to
depth ratio, and to reduce the shrinking of the sealant during curing.
Minimum depth and maximum width of the joints are included in the
installation instructions. Thermal activation takes place at approx. 180°C
when the material will expand (intumesce) and prevent the passage of
fire and smoke for periods up to and beyond 4 hours.

When testing pipes, one can choose not to cap (or close) the pipe, or cap
the pipe inside the furnace, or outside the furnace, or on both sides. The
configuration chosen depends on the intended application of the pipe Technical Data
and/or the installation environment.
The code defining if a pipe is capped is stated after the fire classification. Condition Ready for use, acrylic based filler
