Leading speciality chemical manufacturer Sika has launched a new online resource for specifiers looking to develop a robust passive fire protection strategy to contain and control the spread of fire.
Sika’s new Fire Stopping Solution Finder tool has been created to support the specification process by helping to identify the most appropriate and effective fire stopping products to use when restoring the fire resistance of walls and floors disrupted by penetration seals. Specifiers can simply input key project details to receive a bespoke recommendation, including technical CAD drawings which can be downloaded as PDFs for inclusion in product specifications. The easy to use and convenient resource has been designed to work in conjunction with Sika’s technical team who are on hand to offer further guidance and specification support.
Fully compliant with both national and international standards including EN 1366 and EN 13501, Sika’s extensive firestopping range comprises of fire-resistant sealants, coatings, wraps, collars, fire boards, compounds and ablative pads for both linear and penetration seals. Sika’s passive fire protection solutions have been created to meet the highest fire resistance requirements and are suitable for use across a number of sectors including high-rise residential and public-use projects such as hotels, schools and hospitals. By working to contain fire and smoke in defined compartments, the Sika passive fire protection range has been developed to help control and delay the spread of fire, heat and smoke to allow more time for occupants to be safely evacuated.
