FlameGuard EFM
Fire Stop Mortar for fire compartmentation by sealing service penetrations
When fire resisting compartments are created to contain fire and smoke from spreading within building structures, this also presents a parallel threat as most concealed activities between fire resisting walls and floors are interlinked.
The importance of sealing gaps in this type of construction is therefore vital to ensure the compartmentation systems work to their maximum ability to save life and property. Such gaps are typically at service penetrations through walls and floors, but also include gaps left for structural movement and gaps left due to poor workmanship. The integrity failure occurs when cracks, holes or openings occur through which flames or hot gases can pass. Insulation failure occurs when temperature rise on the unexposed surface of the service, on the unexposed face of the building element 25mm from the penetration or the seal itself exceeds 180°C . FlameGuard EFM plays an major role in maintaining integrity and insulation.
FlameGuard EFM Mortar is a fire rated load bearing system providing up to 4 hours (for 200 mm thickness) fire protection to compartment walls, ceilings and floors around large electrical and mechanical through service penetrations like HVAC ducts, plastic pipes, and where electrical services have been installed. Whilst curing, the mortar expands by approximately 1 % ensuring a tight seal around penetrations and within the opening. It is designed to maintain the fire resistance of compartment walls and floors. When mixed with water it can be poured or troweled into service penetration openings preventing the passage of flame, smoke and toxic gases for periods of up to 4 hours for 200 mm thickness and thermally insulating f ire seal.The mortar is pre – mixed dry blend, consisting of inorganic fillers and foamed perlite.
