$10.86 Exc. GST

FireMastic-300 offers class leading 5 hour protection from fire and smoke. FireMastic-300 is a flexible fire and acoustic rated acrylic sealant. Suitable for sealing joints, linear gaps and service penetrations. Approved to AS1530.4-2014 & AS4072.1. With an FRL of -/300/300 for most applications, FireMastic-300 is unrivalled. And because it is intumescent, it’s more efficient and requires half the volume of sealant than most other brands to achieve the required FRL.

As an acrylic emulsion, FireMastic-300 is simple to use and cleans up easily in water.

FireMastic – 300 intumescent Fire – Rated Acrylic Sealant is a one part acrylic emulsion that is designed to resist the passage of fire, smoke and sound. FireMastic – 300 will intumesce a nd form a char when exposed to the heat of a fire, which will prevent the passage of fire and smoke for up to 5 hours in both integrity and insulation. In normal use it will also maintain the sound reduction index of a structure.

FireMastic – 300’s superior acoustic properties means it offers up to a 63 d B sound reduction, making it ideal for high performance STC installation.

Physical Specification
FireMastic – 300 is water based, non – sag , fire rated acrylic sealant. It is specifically designed for interior joints with up to 40% movement (+/ – 20% either direction) of the original joint width.

FireMastic – 300 does not emit halogenated by products under fire conditions and contains no raw materials known to have an estrogenic effect on the environment. It has good unprimed adhesion to a wide variety of common building substrates.

Application
FireMastic – 300 is ideal for the following fire rating applications:

  • Linear gaps seals in plasterboard and dry wall linings
  • Sealing and filling joints in fire rated partition walls and joints
  • Sealing of low movement construction joints
  • Sealing the perimeter of intumescent dampers
  • Secondary sealing around penetration services
  • Areas requiring acoustic barriers or sound reduction
  • Internal use only

Performance Specifications
FireMastic – 300 is approved to AS1530.4:2005 (Report No FAR3463), offering up to – /300/300 FRL (see performance tables overleaf for more details), and AS4072.1. It also carries approvals for EN1366 – 4 and BS476 Part 20. Additionally, via it s advanced formula, FireMastic – 300 can achieve up to – /300/300 FRL with only a 2:1 width:depth fill ratio, meaning less material is required and installation costs are substantially lower than most other mastics on the market.

Installation

  1. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease.
  2. Use masking tape to provide straight edges around surfaces, if required.
  3. Cut nozzle to required bead size and apply to substrate via a caulking gun. Took off joint with a wet spatula within 5 minutes.
  4. Clean too ls immediately after use with water.
  5. Tack dry within 30mins, cures 2mm per 24hrs.

Backing Rods
FireMastic – 300 was tested with foamed polyethylene (PE) backing rods, which controls the depth of seal and fills only part of the gap. PE or similar material rods may be used provided it does not extend to within the depth of the seal on either face.

Plasterboard Gap Seals
Drywall Construction & Expansion Joints

FireMastic – 300 can be used to provide an FRL of at least – /300/300 , subject to the maximum integrity and insulation of the wall. Generally as the fire resistance of plasterboard wall increases , the thickness of lining increases also and therefore the depth of the seal will increase. The gap width of up to 20mm must be the full depth of the plasterboard and will offer the FRL of the wall system up to – /300/300.

Examples of suitable plasterboard systems (timber framed or steel framed):

  • T – junction between masonry wall and plasterboard wall
  • T – junction between 2 plasterboard walls
  • Control joint in plasterboard wall
  • Pipe and service penetrations through plasterboard (such as electrical services or ductwork) where a secondary sea l is required.

Dampers
FireMastic – 300 can be used to seal around the perimeter of intumescent dampers, fixed either to the face of a wall or in line with the wall. In both situations, FireMastic – 300 may be used to fill any gaps.

Face – fixed Dampers: apply FireMastic – 300 to the section of damper in contact with the wall and to any steel brackets attached to the wall. The damper must overlap the wall by at least 50mm and any gaps must not exceed 5mm.

In – line fixed Dampers: where the damper is fixed in line with the wall, apply FireMastic – 300 all around the edge of the damper. The gap between the edge of the damper and structural opening must not exceed 25mm and the sealant must be filled to the full depth of the damper. This is significantly in excess of any linear gap seal and is therefore able to maintain the fire resistance of the damper.

Notwithstanding the damper application specification, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed. However, FireMastic – 300 may be used in place of the specified sealant
