[New South Wales, 24/01/2019] Construction materials specialist Timberfix offers BostikFireban and SikaFirerate joint sealants for protection against fire within buildings. They are designed to help contain fire and smoke within an enclosed area. Their fast and reliable shipment system supplies directly to construction sites, with next day delivery available in the Sydney Metro Area.

Sealants that protect buildings and homes

Fire within buildings spread smoke and heat that endanger people and block escape paths. Fire protection solutions like Bostik and Sika sealants help keep exits from the building clear by sealing penetrations and joints, preventing smoke and fire passing through. Only the combined resistance of individual components hinder the spread of heat and smoke (e.g. a fire resistant door with fire rated sealant and walls).

BostikFireban® One and SikaFirerate Joint Sealants

BostikFireban® One is a fire rated intumescent, low modulus, one component and Class A polyurethane sealant. When cured, it will form a tough and flexible fire rated seal capable of cyclic expansion and compression movement of 50 per cent of the original installed joint width. It is resistant to normal weathering conditions such as rain, sunlight, snow, atmospheric contamination and exposure to UV. BostikFireban has excellent durability and is fire rated up to four hours.

SikaFirerate complies with the most relevant standards to ensure the highest fire resistance. It's a gunnable acrylic sealing compound specially formulated with inorganic fillers to provide a fire barrier. Suitable for sealing joints in concrete and masonry, SikaFirerate has been tested for fire resistance and is proven to resist fire for up to four hours.
