EVERBUILD® Fire Mate®

An intumescent acrylic sealant that swells when exposed to temperatures in excess of 125°c to prevent the passage of fire and smoke

EVERBUILD® Fire Mate® is a four hour rated, one part, emulsion acrylic based, intumescent Acoustic sealant that gives a firm yet flexible seal to joints in a variety of fire rated structures. 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 150% of its original size, creating a char that will resist the passage of fire for up to 4 hours.
  • No priming required for most construction substrates.
 
  • Permanently flexible with more than 100% elongation to ISO8339.
  • For use in joints up to 50mm wide.
  • Excellent acoustic properties for sound deadening - Average noise reduction of 24db (100-3150Hz).
  • Non slump - easy to apply and tool off.
  • Fast cure - tack free in 15 minutes.
  • Overpaintable.
