Compriband Super FRFire Rated Acrylic Impregnated Foam Sealant Strip

DescriptionCompriband Super FR is an acrylic impregnated foam sealant strip which when used under compression by 80% provides a fire seal for up to 4 hours in accordance with BS 476 Part 20 or for longer periods when used in conjunction with Tremstop 55 or Alfacryl FR. At 80% compression the product also provides a high performance weatherseal (>600 Pa). The product is supplied in roll form pre-compressed and ready for immediate use with a self-adhesive backing. After positioning, the material expands to find its own level and creates a permanent elastic seal. The product remains flexible throughout its life and responds to continual expansion and contraction cycles caused by thermal and structural movement.

Typical UsesCompriband Super FR is designed to be used for the linear sealing of movement joints in substantially brick, stone and cementaceous building elements for example in walls, partitions, around window and door frames, sectional buildings and insulated cladding panels.

Surface Preparation No special surface preparation or primers are required but contact surfaces must be clean of dust, dirt, loose matter, grease and oils.

Application Care must be taken not to stretch the material, especially at joints. Do not run Compriband Super FR around corners - always make close fitting butt joints. Continuous seals are formed with taper lap or close fitting but joints. Instructions for use are enclosed in each carton supplied and should be followed closely. The material expands at a rate dependent on the ambient temperature, expanding faster

in warmer conditions. If required the rate of recovery may be delayed by cooling in a freezer immediately prior to installation. Alternatively, the recovery can be accelerated by warming the material after installation using an indirect heat source.

StorageStore rolls horizontally and in original packaging between +5°C and +25°C in dry conditions and away from direct sunlight. Shelf life is approximately 12 months.

Health and Safety The product is not regarded as having any significant associated hazards. No special precautions are necessary but the use of gloves are recommended during handling and installation of the product, especially for persons with sensitive skin. Wash hands immediately after use. Material Safety Data Sheet is available upon request.

* Excluding adhesive layer 1 The fire resistance of Compriband Super FR depends upon: 1. The width of the joint to be sealed 2. The depth of joint to be sealed 3. The type of structure involved. 4. The compression factor used. 5. Whether or not an appropriate capping sealant is used.
