Are you CONFIDENT of the long-term performance of your Firestop products ?

Your confidence is assured with SELF SEAL® FIRESTOPPING PRODUCTS.

Patented Intumescent:

Maintains its structure and intumescent function even after rigorous ANSI/UL1479 accelerated aging and high humidity tests.

Char-composite effectively seals service penetrations.

Responds quickly in a fire situation.

100% Silicone Reliability:

Withstands wide temperature range

Primerless adhesion

High resistance to UV, ozone, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide

Remains pliable for decades

Withstands water exposure

Can outlast latex products

ANSI / UL1479 mandatory exposure tests:

Accelarated aging - 270 days @ 70⁰

High Humidity - 180 days @ 35⁰C and 97 - 100% Relative Humidity
Our confidence in the Self-Seal intumescent products encouraged us to conduct supplementary exposure tests

Industrial Atmosphere - 30 days in a 1% by volume atmosphere of Sulfur Dioxide (S0₂) and an equal volume of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) @ 35⁰C with moisture present.

Combination Wet, Freeze abd Dry Cycling - Simulated raindall at a rate of 0.7 inch per hour for 72 hours, followed by a temoerature exposure of minus 40⁰C for 72 hours. and then a dry temperature exposure of plus 60⁰C for 72 hours. Test samples were cycled 12 times.

Two Important Features of Self-Seal Firestopping Products:

1. The first patented intumescent firestop product to demonstrate that after rigorous accelerated aging conditions, it can continue to expand effortlessly and uniformly to form a char-composite that properly seals service penetrations in a fire situation.
2. 100% silicone elastomeric technology. Silicones have a wide variety of advantages over organic latex (see below).

In addition to the superb line of 100% Silicone Firestop Solutions, Self-Seal GG-266, Type SSC, Type SSR and FireBand are already in compliance with the 3rd edition of ANSI / UL1479 “Fire Tests of through penetration Firestops” to be effective May 23, 2006.

ANSI /UL1479 Compliant Self-Seal Firestopping Products include:

GG-266 Intumescent Silicone Caulk:
This single component, neutral cure, non-slumping intumescent caulk exhibits excellent performance stability. The 100% silicone based caulk ensures a seal superior to a latex based firestop.

Type-SSR Firestop Rings:
These silicone rubber intumescent insert rings are available for 1.5”, 2”, 3” and 4” trade pipe sizes and will rapidly seal combustible pipes in a fire-rated walls and floors.

FireBand Wrap Strips:
This silicone rubber intumescent wrap strip is encapsulated within a poly bag. The Self-Seal Fireband is pre-fabricated to fit 1.5”, 2” and 3” trade pipe sizes (Available in Canada Only)

Type-SSR Firestop Rings:
These silicone rubber intumescent insert rings are available for 1.5”, 2”, 3” and 4” trade pipe sizes and will rapidly seal combustible pipes in a fire-rated walls and floors.

Why are Silicone Firestopping Products an optimum choice?:

Extreme temperatures during shipping and storage can ruin many water-based latex firestops, but silicone based firestops allow for worry free transportation and storage.

Primerless adhesion to many substrates, ie. glass, metals, plastics and concrete

High resistance to atmospheric gases. ie. ozone, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide

Silicones last for the long-term and remain flexible for decades and will not harden, crack or become brittle. This ensures that Self-Seal firestops will maintain their crucial sealing properties.

Unaffected by Ultra-Violet radiation.

Will withstand exposure to water often found on construction sites.
