Manufactured from a hard wearing specially treated glass cloth filled with a mixture of mineral fibre and reactive expansion agents, which on exposure to heat from a fire will first expand and then harden to provide a complete and durable seal against the passage of fire, smoke and hot gases. Intumescent fire pillows can be used for creating either temporary or permanent fire barriers and are ideal for sealing cable trays and ducts that penetrate fire rated structures.
The pillows have been independently tested in accordance with BS476: Part 20: 1987 and EN 1366-3 and can provide up to 4 hours fire resistance. They contain no asbestos or halogens and therefore can be used in areas such as telephone exchanges, computer rooms and in areas where services are continually being modified. They are quick and easy to fit and can be removed for re-use or to allow new services to be passed through the penetration, to maintain the integrity of the structure simply re-fill the void with the pillows. In all situations the pillows should be fitted in a staggered formation and be packed tightly into the opening. If the pillows are to be used in a floor penetration we recommend that a support mesh must be used.
