Introduction
Firesafe Putty Pad is an easy to apply fire and sound rated sealant supplied as a non-setting putty. The putty is hand workable, re-useable and re-serviceable due to its non-setting properties. The putty is manufactured and supplied in different shapes and forms for different applications.
Application
Putty Pads for sockets
When electrical sockets and switches are installed in dry lining partitions, the original fire rating of the partition is compromised. Fitting Putty Pads will reinstate the fire rating of the partition for up to two hours (depending on the partition fire rating) preventing the passage of smoke and flames in a fire, and sound and air movement during service life, through the electrical socket, into the cavity.
Putty Cords for fire sealing services
The putty cord is designed to be easily fitted around service penetrations where the gap around the services is very small, or there is 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 do not need to fill the gap to the required depth.
Putty Pads for water supply boxes
When tap water wall boxes are installed in dry lining partitions, the original fire rating of the partition is compromised. Fitting Putty Pads will reinstate the fire rating of the partition for 90 minutes preventing the passage of smoke and flames in a fire, and sound and air movement during service life, through the tap water wall boxes, into the cavity.
