Fire-resistant sealants are designed to seal joints, gaps, and penetrations in building elements, such as walls, floors, ceilings, and service penetrations. These sealants restrict the passage of fire, smoke, and heat between different areas of a building, effectively compartmentalising the structure and slowing down the spread of fire. This helps maintain the structural integrity of the building during a fire, minimises damage, and provides valuable time for occupants to evacuate safely and emergency services to respond.
These sealants may contain fire-retardant additives or intumescent properties, which cause the sealant to expand when exposed to high temperatures, creating an effective barrier against fire and smoke. These sealants can also provide acoustic insulation, reducing noise transmission between different areas of a building. In addition, many fire-resistant sealants also offer resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and other environmental factors, contributing to the durability and longevity of the sealed elements.
