SELF SEAL® FIRESTOP SELF SEAL® GG-200 GUN-GRADE

Protects Your Wall and Floor Openings "Tested at positive pressure to simulate the pressure differentials that can occur in a fire situation"

PRODUCT:
SELF SEAL® GG-200 is a single-component, low modulus, nonslumping silicone firestop sealant designed for Wall or Floor applications. It forms a pressure tight seal resistant to water, smoke and toxic gases, see SELF SEAL UL and cUL firestop systems for W (Watertightness) and L (Air Leakage) Ratings. The sealant is also resistant to cracking, ultraviolet radiation and ozone.

FEATURES AND TYPICAL USES:
SELF SEAL® GG-200 seals service penetrations and expansion joints in fire and smoke rated wall or floor separations. See ARCHITECTURAL, MECHANICAL and ELECTRICAL APPLICATION CHARTS for details. Basic uses include firestopping:
  1. Aluminum, pre-cast concrete and most exterior wall systems.
  2. Gypsum wallboard and wood floor - ceiling assemblies.
  3. Thermally expanding pipes that are insulated at fire separations.
  4. Power / communication cables and aluminum / galvanized steelcable trays.
  5. Static / non-static pipes and conduits.
  6. Steel, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) sleeving or cored concrete openings.


INSTALLATION:
• All substrates must be clean and sound; free of oil, frost, grease, dust, and other foreign materials.
• For WALLS, pack voids with SELF SEAL® MW-300 mineral wool or a backing material where applicable. Recess wool or backing material from each side of the wall as required to accomodate the specified thickness of SELF SEAL® GG-200 and then fill the cavity with the sealant. See APPLICATION GUIDELINES for further details.
• For FLOORS, pack voids with SELF SEAL® MW-300 mineral wool or backing material where applicable. Recess wool or backing material from top surface of floor as required to accomodate the specified thickness of SELF SEAL® GG-200 and then fill the cavity with the sealant. See APPLICATION GUIDELINES for further details.

SELF SEAL® GG-200 is only recommended for use in firestop systems that are listed in either the UL Fire Resistance Directory Vol. 2, the UL Directory of Products Certified for Canada, the ULC List of Equipment and Materials - Firestop Systems and Components, the Warnock Hersey Directory of Listed Products, or the Factory Mutual Research Approval Guide.
