Firesafe FT Graphite

FIRESAFE FT Graphite is a special product suitable for penetration sealing of combustible installations. Firesafe FT Graphite is a heat expanding, one-component water-based graphite joint sealant. The sealant expands at a temperature as low as approximately 180℃. The product thus has very good fire stopping properties. 

The sealant can be used for penetration sealing of copper and steel pipes with combustible and non-combustible pipe insulation, pipes of the type AluPEX with combustible and non-combustible pipe insulation, plastic pipes of the type PE-Xa with combustible and non-combustible pipe insulation, plastic electrical cable conduit, electrical cables and combustible heating, water, or sanitation plastic pipes. 

FIRESAFE FT Graphite is generally used for single installation penetrations with a maximum opening ≤ 15 mm between the installation penetration and the structure. For openings ≥ 15 mm between the installation penetration and the structure, or for multiple installation penetrations, FIRESAFE FT Graphite is used in combination with FIRESAFE FT Board or FIRESAFE GPG MORTAR.
