INTRODUCTION

Firewise Fire Rated Mortar is a
lightweight mortar compound which is designed to prevent the spread of fire from one compartment to another where services penetrate separating walls and floors, and provides up to 4 hours fire resistance.

Firewise Fire Rated Mortar consists of a specially blended powder which is supplied in easy to handle paper sacks. When mixed with water, Firewise Fire Rated Mortar forms a trowelable or pourable mixture which is easy to install and has excellent workability characteristics.

PERFORMANCE

When exposed to the heat of a fire, the excellent thermal insulation properties of Firewise Fire Rated Mortar provides an effective barrier, preventing the passage of fire and smoke. Unlike sand and cement mortars or concrete, the special formulation resists shrinkage and cracking, and is not subject to spalling in a fire situation.

During installation and the curing process, Firewise Fire Rated Mortar
actually expands ensuring that an
excellent seal is possible even in
irregular openings.

APPLICATION

Firewise Fire Rated Mortar is particularly suitable for reinstating
compartment floors where HVAC ducts, pipes and electrical services have been installed. Small holes and imperfections of fit can easily be ‘made good’ using Firewise Fire Rated Mortar.

Typical buildings where Firewise Fire Rated Mortar is commonly used are Muiti-story buildings with service
risers, Communication and
Broadcastinq Facilities, Hospitals, Hotels and Apartment Blocks, Power Stations and Control Rooms. Firewise Fire Rated Mortar can be used in walls or floors.
