Intumescent Fire Barrier Cladding

Cladding on a building requires that the external wall be held away from the building structure thus creating a void. Whilst allowing for ventilation and moisture dissipation, the void also produces problems in terms of fire protection, as it acts as an open chimney allowing fire to spread both vertically and horizontally around the building.

Intuchem fire barrier will create a fire barrier within the cladding preventing or delaying the spread of fire in both vertical and horizontal applications for up to 120 mins rating. The product has been tested in the most onerous combustible cladding designs and still maintains the open cavity.

Gap sizes covered from 25 to 125mm wide.

Tested in both combustible timber frame and non combustible constructions unlike other fire barrier products.

Available in Three types.
