Blue 60 Fire Door Expanding Foam

Recently there has been an increased interest in any product or installation that is supposed to be fire rated, for a good reason. This extra scrutiny has brought to light some interesting things which you should be aware of if involved in the use of intumescent products especially the installation of fire doors.

Independent Testing Requirements

With main contractors now asking for independent test results for intumescent products its noticeable how few scenarios have been tested on some of the most popular products available.  For example with the B1 expanding foam which is normally used when fitting fire doors, none of the main manufacturers appear to have carried out independent tests when used in conjunction with a door lining and timber or metal stud dry lining, this raises a few questions as to its suitability for this application.  Most independent tests on intumescent products seem to include their use in masonry or concrete in a line, quite different from a dry lined wall. 

With the likelihood of these requests from the main contractors only increasing along with the increased need to dot all the i's and cross all the T's in view of reducing potential liability, it is important to address this issue now.  We've gone to work and found a solution for you because we're good like that!
