Types of Fire Sealants

There are several types of fire sealants available, each with unique properties that make them suitable for different applications. Here are a few examples:

Acrylic sealants: Acrylic sealants such as SabreSeal FRA+ are water-based and can be used in a wide range of applications, such as interior precast panel joints, around window and door frames, and electrical penetrations. They have good durability, movement capability, and are easy to apply.
Silicone sealants: Silicone sealants are known for their excellent heat resistance and durability. They are often used in exterior applications, such as sealing around windows and door frames.
MS Polymer Sealants: MS polymer sealants such as SabreSeal FRM are commonly used in exterior fire-rated applications, such as sealing expansion joints in concrete precast panels, intertenancy walls, or facades.
Firestop Mortar: A firestop mortar is a passive fire protection system typically used in applications such as opening in walls, floors and ceilings, around penetrations such as pipe, conduit, cable trays, etc. They dry and harden to create a barrier that prevents the spread of fire and smoke.

Sabre, as a premier provider, offers a complete spectrum of fire sealants in New Zealand, ensuring comprehensive solutions for sealing gaps and openings in buildings to prevent the spread of fire across various applications.

Fire Sealants: Field of Applications

Fire sealants are used in a variety of commercial and residential building applications to help prevent the spread of fire and smoke. Among the most common applications are:

Sealing gaps and openings around electrical conduits, plumbing, and other penetrations in fire-rated walls and floors.
Sealing gaps around windows, door frames, and other exterior joints.
Sealing gaps around baseboards, trim, and other interior finishes.
Firestopping of openings in walls, floors and ceilings.
Sealing gaps around fireproofing materials, such as sprayed insulation.
In addition to this traditional application, these sealants can also be used to seal gaps and cracks around air ducts, electrical panels, and other building components to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.

When selecting a fire sealant, it is important to consider the specific requirements of your application, including the type of construction, the size of the gaps or openings to be sealed, and the fire rating required. It is also important to use a sealant that is tested and certified by an independent testing agency to ensure it meets the appropriate fire safety standards. Also, it is important that the used fire sealants are compliant with the local building code and have the appropriate fire rating for the specific application.
