FIREPLUG INTUMESCENT MEMBRANE PAPER

Fireplug CFPM can also be used between the door and a surface mounted lock e.g. Rimlatch lock.

Fireplug Hinge Strips and Lock Protection consist of a 0.5mm thick Firefly 104/105 intumescent paper. Hinge Strips are supplied to a standard size of 100mm x 35mm.

Under the action of heat, the Fireplug CFPM insulates the areas around the hinges and lock slowing the passage of heat through the metal. This principal is also relevant when installed with other ironmongery such as, lock striker plate, door closers and pivot plates on double swing doors.

Fireplug CFPM has been tested by TRADA to British Standard BS476 part 22, on 20th April 1993. test No. FR1687, also by Chiltern International Fire on 19th March 1997 to BS476 Part 22, Test no. FER/F97023. The test criteria attained results in Fireplug CFPM being acceptable for 30/30 and 1 hour doors.

HINGE PROTECTION

Cut Fireplug CFPM to fit tightly into recess notched out of the door and door frame. With the CFPM only 0.5mm thick an existing recess will probably be deep enough to avoid any further notching out.

LOCK PROTECTION - Mortice Type

Remove the mortice lock from the door. Some shaving of the door may be required to refit the lock. The Fireplug CFPM can be either wrapped around the lock or positioned inside the door. Enough room should be allowed not to tear the paper.

LOCK PROTECTION - Yale/Rimlatch Type

Remove the lock and cut Fireplug CFPM to the contours of the lock. Refit the lock sandwiching the CFPM between the door and the lock.

In all cases handle spindles, or lock barrels, passing through the door should be wrapped in CFPM. Door closers, striker plates and pivot plates on double swing doors should also have Fireplug CFPM fitted.

Under the action of heat, the PVC profile complete fire protection, softens as the intumescent core expands sealing the gap between the door and the door frame, through which fire and toxic gas could pass. The amount of pressure fireplug, developed by the expanding intumescent is dependent on the gap to be sealed. The wider the gap the lower the pressure.. The temperature at which Fireplug Intumescent strip fire protection materials, starts to activate is 120 - 160 oC. At this temperature no one would survive on the fireside of the door and in most cases the thermal shock would be fatal to anyone cable passthrough system suppliers, on the unexposed side opening the door. However, despite the requisite that the pressure developed by the expanding intumescent is sufficient to downlighter protection covers, keep the door closed it is possible to make the door open if required. Perfomance Fireplug IFS104 and IF104 has been tested by TRADA to British Standards ventilation grill manufacturer, BS476 Part 22, on April 20th 1993, test No. FR1687. The test criteria attained in Fireplug Intumescent Strip being acceptable for use in many leading manufacturers intumescent slabs, doors for 30/30 half hour doors, likewise Fireplug IFS104 and IF104 has been tested for use on 60/60 one hour doors. Application Fireplug IFS104 and IF104 is fitted into a groove nominally 10mm wide x 4mm deep. To aid fixing, although not essential, the strip can have a self adhesive backing, alternatives to this are gluing or securing with tacks. intumescent pillows, IFS104 and IF104 are fixed similarly but the groove is nominally 20mm wide x 4mm deep. The groove can be routed into either the door or into the door frame. The rout is along the head of the door and down the jamb. Intumescent is not required along the bottom as in a fire situation a negative pressure results making the air flow in the opposite cable tray blocks, direction to the top. Where the groove is masked by hinges, locks or other door ironmongery we recommend that FIreplug Intumescent Strip is used in conjunction with Fireplug Hinge and Lock Protection.
