INTRODUCTION

THERM-A-STRIP is a low pressure intumescent strip material which has been developed for applications where a pressure forming product is disadvantageous. The degree of expansion is moderate in order to provide some resistance to erosion.

THE PRODUCT

THERM-A-STRIP has been developed to provide excellent sealing properties combined with the benefit of a flexible strip of intumescent material. It is particularly useful in cases where there is a possibility of localized flaming due to combustible products since it generates fire retardant gases when heated.

APPLICATION

THERM-A-STRIP intumescent strip can be supplied in a variety of shapes so that it can be used in a wide range of applications including gaskets for ironmongery protection, locks, latches, bolts, hinges etc. It is also useful in applications where the gap to be filled is small and the fire retardant properties are beneficial such as overpanels and glazing applications.

DESCRIPTION

THERM-A-STRIP is a flexible phosphate based intumescent product giving an approximate ten fold increase in volume when exposed to heat. Its activation temperature is around 180ºC.

THERM-A-STRIP is supplied in a natural white finish or in brown which, because of its resistance to both atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, requires no additional surface protection.

 

 

The material may be decorated with a wide range of conventional finishes without impairing the performance. It is available with or without a self-adhesive backing strip.

AVAILABILITY

THERM-A-STRIP is supplied as standard white or brown but it can be coloured if required.*
