FIRE RATED MORTAR

Fire Rated Mortar is a lightweight mortar compound which is designed to prevent the spread of fire from one compartment to another where services penetrate separating walls and floors, and provides up to 4 hours fire resistance.

Where to use fire Rated Morter:

Fire Rated Mortar is particularly suitable for reinstating compartment floors where HVAC ducts. pipes and electrical services have been installed. Small holes and imperfections of fit can easily be "made good" using Fire Rated Mortar.

Typical buildings where Fire Rated Mortar is commonly used are:

• Multi-story buildings with service risers •Communication and Broadcasting Facilities
• Hospitals, Hotels and Apartment Blocks • Power Stations and Control Rooms

Fire Rated Mortar can be used in walls or floors.

HOW DOES FIRE RATED MORTAR WORK?
When exposed to the heat of a fire, the excellent thermal insulation properties of Fire Rated Mortar provides an effective barrier, preventing the passage of fire and smoke. Unlike sand and cement mortars or concrete, the special formulation resists shrinkage and cracking in a fire situation. During installation and the curing process, Fire Rated Mortar actually expands ensuring that an excellent seal is possible even in irregular openings.
