6. Installation Techniques Consult a 3M Authorized Fire Protection Products Distributor / Dealer or Sales Representative
for applicable UL, cUL, ULC, Intertek, FM or other third-party drawings and system details.
Preparatory Work The surface of the opening and any penetrating items should be cleaned to allow for the proper adhesion of the 3M

or other third-party listed system. Cut the end of the 3M
™
Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ tube spout to achieve the desired
bead width when applying. Install the applicable depth of 3M
™
Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ into the opening flush with
the surface of the substrate, or as detailed within the applicable listed system, at the depth for the assembly and rating that
is required. Tool within 5 minutes. Clean all tools immediately after use with water.
Limitations Do not apply 3M
™
Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ when surrounding temperature is than less 40°F (4°C) and in
conditions where seals may be exposed to rain or water spray within 18 hours of application. Do not apply 3M
™
Fire Barrier
Sealant IC 15WB+ to building materials that bleed oil, plasticizers or solvent (e.g. impregnated wood, oil-based sealants,
or green or partially vulcanized rubber). Do not apply 3M
