Composition

Mineral wool panels with a thickness between 50 mm to 80 mm with a minimum density of 150 kg/m3, coated on one or both sides with 1 mm thick intumescent paint.

System requirements

You must prevent the passage of fire, heat and smoke into parts of buildings using seals in order to ensure the safety of people, movable and immovable property in the event of fire.

Sealing is carried out in accordance with the fire protection concept required by the authorities and the formation of fire compartments, either in technical ducts, fire walls and floors, walls, light partition walls, etc...

Advantages

• Cleanliness (no cement slurry, dust, etc.)
• The panels are very easy to cut out
• Flexibility in the installation of new techniques
• Fast execution (no forms required)
• Good sound resistance even against impact sound
• Can be subsequently painted with a choice of RAL colours (it depends on the installed system)

AEAI Fire Protection Directive

Terms and definitions: Seals

Seals are refractory construction elements for sealing ducts (e.g. electric cables, pipes, ventilation ducts), linear joints and openings in the construction elements forming the fire chamber.

Requirements for the fire behaviour of piping systems

When passing through the walls and floors forming the fire compartment, the insulation of the pipes shall be non-combustible as specified in section 5.1.1 of 14/15 fire protection.

Classification

Seals with separating function and thermal insulation are divided into fire resistance classes RF1, EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90.

Composition

Stainless steel housing with bands and lamellas that expand under the influence of heat and thus block the spread of fire inside the electrical line.

Usage

Exclusively used for electrical passages through walls, ceilings and fire compartments, we use them mainly for industrial purposes, in data centres, electrical rooms and all other areas that require frequent cable pulling with high safety requirements.

They must prevent the passage of fire, heat and smoke into parts of buildings to ensure the safety of people, as well as movable and immovable property in the event of fire. Sealing is carried out according to the fire protection concept and fire compartmentation required by the authorities, either in technical ducts, fire walls and floors, walls, light partition walls, etc...

Advantages

• Unique and easy placement
• Reduced intermediate maintenance (no need to close connections)
• Always fireproof and flexible (also without cables)
• Cable change without demolition work
• No unnecessary interference by dust and noise
• Reusable product
• Good thermal insulation
• Flameproof
• Fire resistant for 90 minutes

Terms and definitions: Seals

Seals are refractory structural elements for closing electrical cable bushings and openings in the structural elements forming the fire chamber.

Classification

Housings with a partition wall and thermal insulation are classified as fire resistance class EI 90.

Composition

These fire plates are composed of:
Concrete, glass aggregate, cellulose fibres or synthetic fibres.

Usage

The AM FireShied EI90 is a total, ready-to-install solution for partitioning risers. The AM FireShied is prefabricated and factory set with project specific dimensions, it is delivered directly to the site according to the customer's agreement. The element is stable and accessible thanks to its lightweight concrete structure. This leads to the elimination of costly barriers.

Advantages

• Flexible, can be manufactured in any size
• Short installation time
• Waterproof and water-resistant
• High load capacity
• Easy breakthroughs for CVSEs
• Good sound resistance also to impact noise
• Fire resistance EI90
• No risk of falling from a height
• No formwork and formwork removal
• Short assembly times
• Much less coordination for TD
• Much less security monitoring

AEAI Fire Protection Directive

Terms and definitions: seals

Seals are fire-resistant construction elements used to close duct passages (e. g. electrical cables, pipes, ventilation ducts), linear joints and openings in the construction elements forming the fire compartment.

Requirements for the reaction to fire of piping systems

When passing through the walls and floors forming the fire compartment, the insulation of the pipes must be non-combustible, as indicated in section 5.1.1 of 14/15 fire protection.

Classification

FireShield closures with partitioning function and thermal insulation are classified in fire resistance class EI 90.

Composition

Stainless steel sleeves that contain intumescent fabric strips that expand under the influence of heat and thus prevent the spread of fire inside the electrical conduit.

Use of the system

Seals used exclusively for electrical passages through walls, slabs and fire compartments. We use them mainly for industrial purposes, in data centers, electrical rooms and all other areas that require frequent cable pulls with high security requirements.

Supply and installation of fireproof modules, integrated in addition to the closures at the cable duct and cable tray, these modules will be sealed with mortar.

They must prevent the passage of fire, heat and smoke into parts of buildings in order to ensure the safety of persons, movable and immovable property in the event of a fire. The sealing is installed according to the fire concept and fire compartmentalization requested by the authorities, either in technical ducts, fire walls and floors, walls, lightweight partitions, etc...

Advantages

• Robust
• Easy cable re-insertion
• Quick and easy installation and controls
• Cable changes without demolition work
• No unnecessary nuisance due to dust and noise
• Optimal air flow control
• Reduced intermediate maintenance (no need to close the ports)
• Smoke and flame tightness
• Fire resistant up to 120 minutes
• Can be used on concrete, mortar and drywall
• Caulking of cable passages
• Suitable for openings in walls and ceilings
• Ideal solution when cable configuration changes regularly in industrial production sites

Terms and definitions: seals

Seals are fire-resistant construction elements used to close electrical conduit passages and openings in the construction elements forming the fire compartment.

Classification

Sleeves with partitioning function and thermal insulation are classified in fire resistance class EI 90.

Composition

Fire-resistant cement mortar, type of group according to the state of the art or mineral wool panels from 50 mm to 80 mm thick with a minimum density of 150 kg/m3, covered on one side or on each side with an intumescent paint 1 mm thick.

Use of the system

Fire seals must prevent the spread of fire and smoke in ventilation systems. The closures around these valves must be carried out according to the state of the art of the system and according to AEAI standards.

Advantages

• Increase in volume to fill voids
• Fast execution, machine filling
• Rough or clean finish

AEAI Fire Protection Directive — Air conditioning systems / 25-15en

Penetrations of construction elements forming the fire compartment (see appendix). The hoppers used in the construction elements forming the fire compartment to pass ventilation ducts must, taking into account the thermal expansion, be sealed tightly with RF1 materials (e. g. mortar, plaster), be sealed by sealing systems. The sealing systems must at least have a resistance of EI 30 in the walls and ceilings forming the compartment.

Fire dampers must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. No deviation from the manufacturer's performance declarations and instructions for use is allowed.

Classification

Mortar-based seals with partitioning function are classified in fire resistance RF1.

Seals with partitioning function and thermal insulation are classified in fire resistance classes RF1, EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90.
