What does a fire-resistant sealant do?
It seals engineered joints so that, in a fire, it helps hold back flame, smoke, toxic gases and water for the rated period, maintaining the integrity of fire walls and compartment lines.
What does halogen-free mean and why does it matter?
It means the sealant does not release halogen gases when exposed to fire, which reduces toxic fumes and corrosion. That is safer for occupants and for nearby metalwork and cabling.
Where is it used?
Around service penetrations (conduits and pipes) through fire walls, and sealing panels, door frames, partitions and fire-glazing beading.
Is it the same as an intumescent sealant?
No. LN11 is a fire-resistant silicone. Our FS4 Fireshield is an intumescent acoustic sealant that expands in heat. Specify to the fire-stopping detail for the joint.
Will it stick without a primer?
It is neutral cure with good adhesion to concrete, cement, metals, timber, glass, ceramics and many plastics. Surfaces must be clean, dry and sound; prime where the specification requires.
Single or box of 12?
Buy one cartridge for a small job, or the trade box of 12 for a fire-stopping contract.
