Description
(Charcoat FS Fire stop Compound & Charcoat FS Fire stop Pillows)
Charcoat FS Firestop compound is a specially formulated gypsum based mortar, which is
mixed with water to be trowled or poured around service penetrations. Controlled
swelling effect to provide a non-shrinking, homogeneous and smoke gas-tight fire seal for
cable penetrations. Most mortars shrink during drying and curing. Mortar expands while it
sets (up to 3%), ensuring a tight and crack-free seal.
When mixed to pumping consistency, Mortar will not run or sag, allowing easy build-up of
material inside a wall opening, whereby for smaller openings, shuttering is only necessary
on one side.
FS Mortar has been rated up to 360 minutes fire resistance at various thicknesses as per all
important standards.
FS Mortar is a blend of inorganic binders, fillers and lightweight aggregates, interlaced
with special additives and agents. Mortar may be used wherever a fire resistance up to
360 minutes forcable penetrations is specified. Mortar is preferably used for floor
penetrations but, because of its non-sagging properties, is also easily installed in wall
penetrations.
FS Firestop Pillows are installed in cable penetration seals,
where:
Frequent retrofitting of new cables is expected Metal Pipework
– Cable trays
– Electrical Trunking (outside & Inside)
– Dustfree penetration seals are requested .e.g Telephone exchange, computer
rooms e.t.c
FS Firestop Pillows are pillows consisting of tightly woven, durable fibre-glass cloth, filled
with a combination of mineral fibres, incombustible components, water- insoluble
expansion agents and special fire retardant additives.
The picture below illustrates use of fire resistant FS Firestop Pillows.
They are totally water-resistant and weather-resistant and retain their properties and
– ness under all weather, temperature and atmospheric conditions. They contain
neither asbestos nor any other toxic substances.
FS Firestop pillows have a high electric resistance and are not current conductive, if kept
in dry conditions.The picture below shows the reaction of pillows to a fire. You will notice
that the pillows expanded, and the fire was unable to pass through.
