Application

For fire protection of construction, contraction and expansion joints within stadia terracing (due to high Shore A hardness), floors, curtain walling and building façades.

Description

A fire rated modified silane (MS) based sealant which cures quickly and provides good adhesion to most building materials. When subjected to fire, Flamex MS320 forms a stable insulating char which provides protection to the remaining sealant. Heat, flames and smoke are prevented from passing through the joint to adjacent areas of the structure. 


Features and benefits:

  • Tested in accordance with BS 1366-4.
  • Up to a 5 hour fire rating in specified joint configurations.
  • High modulus trafficable sealant.
  • Prevents the passage of smoke through joints in fire conditions.
  • In the form of a thixotropic paste. 
  • Can be applied to concrete or mild steel substrates.
  • Available in 600 ml sachets.
