Key Benefits of Fire Rated Foams

Here’s why tradespeople and specifiers rely on fire rated foam in high-risk applications:

• Slows the spread of fire – adds crucial minutes for safe evacuation
• Expands to fill gaps – creating a tight seal against fire, smoke, and gas
• Quick and easy to apply with a foam gun or nozzle
• Thermal and acoustic insulation properties
• Adheres to most building substrates including masonry, concrete, wood, and metal

How to Apply Fire Rated Foam Safely and Effectively

Correct application is key to ensuring full fire performance. Here are some expert tips:

1. Shake the can well before use and apply using a compatible foam gun or nozzle.
2. Pre-dampen the surfaces to improve adhesion and curing.
3. Apply in layers for deep gaps, allowing each layer to expand and set.
4. Once cured, the foam can be cut, sanded, and painted as needed.
5. Always follow the manufacturer’s fire rating guidance, including maximum gap width and joint design.

For fire-stopping around services, always refer to building control or a fire engineer for final sign-off.
