Firestopping Solutions
®
Worldwide Leader in Firestop Technology - Our family of UL approved Metacaulk
®
Firestopping Products is specically
designed to ll voids in construction joints and around penetrations in re-rated walls or oors. Many have intumescent properties
and expand when exposed to heat, forming a high-strength insulating char. Metacaulk
®
products contain a combination of
biocides that protect the product in both the cured and non-cured state against mold growth. Our intumescent restop products
comply with required environmental exposure testing of accelerated aging and high humidity, as per UL 1479 Fire Test of
Through-Penetration Firestops. In the event of re, Metacaulk
®
sealants will restrict the spread of ames, smoke, hot gases and
water. Whatever your application, we provide the most cost effective products to t your every need.
After test burns, assemblies are immediately
subjected to a hose stream test to complete the
ASTM E-814 (UL 1479) or ASTM E-1966 (UL
2079) procedure.
A computerized control room monitors all phases
of test burns as specied by ASTM E-814 (UL
1479) or ASTM E-1966 (UL 2079).
Two on-site test ovens allow for quicker response
to customer needs for UL approved systems and
speed the development of new systems.
