Product details
A **fire seal for cables** is a passive fire protection system designed to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through cable penetrations in walls, floors, and ceilings. These seals are essential in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings, ensuring compartmentalization and maintaining the fire integrity of structures. Fire seals can be made from **intumescent materials**, silicone-based compounds, or fire-resistant mortars that expand when exposed to heat, effectively sealing gaps and stopping fire progression. They are commonly used in **electrical rooms, data centers, and infrastructure projects** where cable penetrations are frequent. Proper installation is crucial for compliance with **fire safety regulations** such as **BS 476, EN 1366-3, or UL 1479**, depending on regional standards. Fire seals also help in **maintaining insulation and reducing thermal transfer**, contributing to overall building safety. Regular inspections ensure their effectiveness over time, particularly in high-risk environments.
