Protecta® FR Putty Cord

Protecta® FR Putty Cord

Protecta Putty Cord is an easy to apply fire rated putty supplied as a non-setting cord. The cord is hand workable, re-usable and re-serviceable due to its non-setting properties. They are supplied in circular strips and are easy to fit with no tools required.

Fitting the putty cords will reinstate the fire rating of the partition and prevent the passage of smoke and flames in a fire and sound and air movement during service life.

The putty cord is designed to be easily fitted around service penetrations where the gap around the services is very small, or there are no gaps at all so a conventional fire rated sealant is impossible or difficult to fit due to the required depth and backing material. The putty cords are fitted covering the gap around the services and does not need to fill the gap to the required depth.

Features:

• Non-setting silicone based putty sticks.
• Excellent product for firestopping gaps up to 10mm around cables, cable bundles and metal pipes.
• Simply work the putty by hand in a fillet around the cable or pipe to reinstate the integrity of the fire barrier.
• Easier in many situations than using sealants especially where it is difficult to install backing material and get the required depth of sealant.
• Tested and approved for a wide range of services.
• Certified for use in gypsum, masonry and concrete walls and floors.
