Description
Isover Protect Mortar is a dry white powder consisting of inorganic compounds and perlite. When mixed with water, the compounds form a highly thermally insulating fire sealing compound to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through openings in fire rated walls and floors, including openings formed around building service penetrations.
Isover Protect Mortar will also maintain the acoustic design performance in walls and floors. Isover Protect Mortar expands approx. 1% by hydraulic action during curing ensuring a very tight seal around the service penetrations and the surrounding opening apertures. Isover Protect Mortar is easy to sand or drill.
Key benefits
- Classified in walls and floors of concrete, brick, gypsum etc.
- Suitable for cables, bundled cables, cable racks, cable trays, steel-, copper-, alupex-, composite-, plastic pipes and air ventilation ducts
- Simple to apply leaving a smooth finish
- High degree of mechanical resistance; the seal is load bearing without reinforcement
- Tested for air permeability with excellent resistance to pressure
- No priming necessary prior to application in most building material substrates however metal services in
contact with the seal must be corrosion protected - Suitable for most surfaces, included concrete, bricks, Leca, steel, plastic etc, but not suitable to fitting of doors
or in service openings that involve movement - Fast drying, fully set within 1 hour
- The fire performance specification of the compound has been derived when the seal has been left to cure for 1 month
