Everbuild Tecnic® Fire Sealant 300

An intumescent and acoustic acrylic sealant that swells when exposed to temperatures in excess of 150 °C

Everbuild Tecnic® Fire Sealant 300 is a four-hour rated, one part, acrylic emulsion based, intumescent sealant that gives a firm yet flexible seal to joints in a variety of fire rated structures. Tested in accordance with BS EN 1366-4:2006, the product, in suitably designed joints, will resist the passage of fire for up to 4 hours. The selected fillers used in this formulation also make it suitable for use as an acoustic sealant.

  • When exposed to heat, it swells greater than 3 x its original size, so creating a char that will resist the passage of fire for up to 4 hours.
  • No priming required for most construction substrates.
  • Joint movement capability of +/- 12.5 %.
  • For use in joints up to 50 mm wide.
  • Halogen free.
  • Non slump - easy to apply and tool off.
  • Tack free in 15 minutes.
  • Over paintable.
  • Excellent acoustic properties for sound deadening –average noise reduction of 29 dB.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

All surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. All loose or flaking surface coatings, and old sealant and mastic joints, should be removed before application.

Everbuild Tecnic® Fire Sealant 300 does not require a primer on most common surfaces, although adhesion tests are recommended prior to full scale application. If the joint is likely to be immersed or if adhesion is poor (especially on porous surfaces) use FIRE SEALANT 400.
