Installation of system Pyroplex® CE Intumescent Acrylic shall be conducted as follows:
Linear Joint/Gap Seals
1. Wear Suitable protective clothing, skin and eye protection.
2. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry.
3. Position appropriate backing material within the gap at the minimum depth to allow for the specified thickness of sealant.
4. Gun the sealant into the opening ensuring that the gap is fully filled and scrape away any excess material.
Penetration Seals
1. Tightly pack mineral wool backing material (nominal density kg/m2) within the opening and around the service(s), leaving a minimum 10mm depth to the plane of the floor/wall surface at both sides.
2. Gun the sealant onto both exposed faced of the mineral wool backing and around the service(s), ensuring that good contact is achieved with both the service(s) and sides of the opening. Scrape away excess material ensuring that a minimum 10mm thickness of sealant is achieved.
3. Tool the surface of the seal as required within 30 minutes of application using a wet spatula.
4. Clean tools using soap and warm water.
Pyroplex® CE Intumescent Acrylic has been tested to the requirements of BS EN 1366-4 & BS EN 1366-3
Providing the product is installed in accordance with the requirements of the guidance document the fire performance characteristics of the product is guaranteed for a period of
10 years.
