Fire Sealing System
VS Sealant for Expansion Joints is a fire retardant sealing system using Ace Panel Seal to seal building joints. Building joints are small gaps that are intentionally maintained in the construction of a building to allow for building movement. The types of joints can be ‘Wall to Wall’, ‘Floor to Floor’ or ‘Wall to Floor’ type with expansion gaps maintained in a building/structure. Ace Panel Seal consists of mineral wool boards coated on exposed face with Ace Mastik Coating, a fire retardant chemical, to a thickness of 1.5 to 2 mm. Mineral wool boards are arranged and fixed at the site location in a compact and partially compressed form in the gaps of the adjacent building elements and structures forming the building joint . Depending upon the thickness of wall / floor (as Joint gap elements), mineral wool boards are cut to size and fixed in gaps to the required minimum thickness. Ace Mastik Coating is then applied at the exposed cut surface of the mineral wool boards inserted in the gaps. Sealing building joints using Ace Panel Seals System prevents spread of fire, smoke and noxious gasses through gaps of building joints, in the event of fire. VS Sealant for Expansion Joints is tested as per ASTM E 814 & UL 1479 and has a fire rating of 2 & 4 hours. It is also impervious to weathering effects, aging, vibrations and ambient temperature variations.
FM approved, to approval class 4990 for 2 & 4 hrs. Fire rating. Fire Rated Building Joint using Ace Panel Seals do not get affected to required performance of the system during fire even after exposure to various conditions like weathering effects, aging, vibrations, ambient temperature variations.
