Compliance Statement
Scope of Use
Protecta Protecta FR Putty Cord is designed for use in fire-rated walls and floors to seal small gaps around service penetrations where conventional fire-rated sealants are impractical due to limited annular space or restricted access. Suitable for use around cables, cable bundles, metal pipes, and tightly packed services in plasterboard, masonry, concrete, timber, and other common construction types. The non-setting putty formulation allows easy installation, removal, and re-servicing without damaging surrounding firestop systems, making it ideal for retrofit, maintenance, and service upgrade applications. Designed for interior use only, Protecta® FR Putty Cord provides effective fire and acoustic sealing without requiring full-depth penetration sealing. All installations must comply with the assessed systems to AS1530.4:2014 and AS4072.1:2005. Refer to firestopcentre.co.nz for FC tech drawings, product information, and test reports.
