Intumescent strips are a specific type of fire seal designed to expand when exposed to heat, creating a barrier that prevents the spread of fire, smoke, and hot gases through gaps and openings.

 

Intumescent strips are commonly used around the edges of doors and windows in fire-rated assemblies. These materials are chosen for their ability to undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to high temperatures, causing them to expand and form an insulating barrier.

 

Features and Benefits of Intumescent strips

Expansion: When exposed to temperatures above a certain threshold (typically around 200°C or 392°F), the intumescent material within the strip begins to expand.

Sealing: This expansion can increase the volume of the material many times over, effectively sealing gaps and preventing the passage of fire, smoke, and hot gases.

Insulation: The expanded material acts as an insulator, slowing the transfer of heat and protecting adjacent areas.

Effective Fire Barrier: Provides a reliable barrier to fire and smoke, helping to contain and control the spread of fire.

Versatile: Can be used in various applications, including doors, windows, and wall penetrations.

Compliance: Helps ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and building codes.

 

Applications Uses of Intumescent strips

Fire Doors: Installed around the edges of fire doors to maintain the door’s fire resistance rating.

Windows: Used around fire-rated windows to seal gaps and prevent fire spread.

Wall and Floor Penetrations: Applied around pipes, cables, and ducts that pass through fire-rated walls and floors.

Expansion Joints: Used in construction joints to maintain the fire resistance of the building structure.

 

Types of Intumescent Strips

Surface-Mounted Strips: These are applied directly to the surface of doors or frames. They are often self-adhesive for easy installation.

Embedded Strips: Installed within grooves cut into the door or frame, providing a more concealed appearance.

Combination Strips: These may include additional features such as smoke seals or acoustic seals for added functionality.

 

Installation of Intumescent strips

Preparation: Ensure that the surface where the strip will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust and debris.

Measurement and Cutting: Measure the length of the strip needed for the application and cut it to size using a sharp knife or scissors.

Application:

Surface-Mounted: Peel off the backing paper and press the strip firmly onto the surface, ensuring good adhesion.

Embedded: Insert the strip into the pre-cut groove, ensuring it fits snugly.

Inspection: Check that the strip is properly installed and that there are no gaps or loose areas.

 

Maintenance

Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect intumescent strips for signs of damage or wear.

Cleaning: Keep the strips clean and free from obstructions that could interfere with their function.

Replacement: Replace any damaged or deteriorated strips promptly to maintain fire safety.
