Acrylic sealant for protecting services and joints through fire-rated walls and floors.

The following information has been provided by FIRESTOP demonstrating how this product complies with the Building Product Information Requirements.

Product Description

FIRESTOP Ultra Sealant is designed for use in fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings where joints, gaps, or service penetrations require fire, smoke, and weather sealing. Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, the sealant is used around cables, metal pipes, metal ductwork, and linear gaps in construction types including concrete, masonry, and plasterboard. Tested and assessed to AS 1530.4:2014 and AS 4072.1:2005, the water-based acrylic formulation provides excellent adhesion, flexibility, and non-slump performance, accommodating joint movement up to 20%. When exposed to fire, the sealant expands to form an intumescent barrier that helps prevent the spread of fire and smoke. UV and weather resistant, FIRESTOP Ultra Sealant is suitable for exposed environments and can be overpainted with water-based paints.
