JCP Fixings, a supplier of high-quality construction fixings from Owlett-Jaton, offers a comprehensive range of products capable of meeting the demanding expectations of the construction industry, including a B1 fire rated silicone sealant/adhesive.
JCP’s B1 fire rated silicone sealant/adhesive offers a high-level of fire retardation – up to 4 hours and produces an efficient seal against smoke and gas – again for up to 4 hours. The fire stop product is also ready to use, saves time and offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
JCP’s fire stop silicone/adhesive is ideal for filling and sealing joints and gaps which require fire resistant properties. Applications also include sealing and fixing windows and doors, as well as sealing penetrations from mechanical, electrical, or structural penetrants.
Based on innovative inert polymer technology, it is suitable for a wide variety of building trade applications including decorating, flooring, joinery, tiling, as well as plumbing projects. The B1 silicone sealant/adhesive forms an excellent adhesion to most building materials and can therefore be applied to a wide range of porous and non-porous substrates commonly found in the construction environment including concrete, wood and stone.
Outperforming conventional silicone, MSP, butyl, and acrylic-based products as a sealant and adhesive, it is also the only sealant that is free from dangerous emissions. It has a high resistance to UV radiation, as well as changing weather conditions, which makes it ideal for external, as well as internal projects. It is permanently elastic after curing, impervious to shrinkage, and is also able to be painted on. Furthermore, the B1 fire rated silicone is very easy to apply using a standard injection cartridge tool, which is also available from JCP.
The product also has an ETA assessment (ETA – 21/0413), can be applied onto B1 fire stop gun foam, as well as conforms to EI240 in-line with BS EN 13501-2:2016.
