Silverseal HS (High Strength) Compound is a gypsum based mortar material used to reinstate the fire resistance performance of floor and wall constructions where apertures exist for the penetrations of multiple services. Silverseal HS Compound, once cured has excellent load bearing capabilities and can be installed in large span openings.
Shelf Life: 12 months if stored in accordance with storage conditions
Silverseal HS Compound is tested and Certified as part the FSI Fire Stopping range Silverseal HS Compound can be installed across a variety services and substrates including:
Rigid Floors
Rigid Walls
Multi-Service penetrations
Blank Openings
Head of Walls
Key Product Points:
Can be used in rigid floors and walls with fire rated dampers
Rapid setting, zero shrinkage formulation - can be used as pourable or trowel grade, gas tight seals
Excellent workability ranging from stiff to pourable mix
Good load bearing performance in floor seals, *No structural support required for seals up to 1800mm spans
Silverseal Compounds can be waterproofed
Key Installation Points:
Silverseal HS Compound can be mixed preferably by mechanical paddle or manually if required. Measure out the correct amount of clean water into a clean container to achieve desired consistency
Pourable Mix ratio of 3-31/2:1
Trowlelable Mix ratio of 4:1
Gradually add the Silverseal HS Compound stirring continually. Continue mixing until the Silverseal HS Compound is mixed to a smooth even consistency. Any spillage should be wipe up with a damp cloth before setting occurs as it may stain pipes and services
Mix only enough material sufficient for use within the recommended pot life (20-30 minutes). Pot life and set times will be reduced for lower water content and higher temperatures
Installation should not be carried out when temperatures are above 35°C
Setting times normally between 30 and 90 minutes
Warning: Do not attempt to extend working time by remixing with additional water once the compound has started to set, as this will interfere with the setting process
Always mix in clean buckets. Using dirty buckets containing remains of compound from earlier mixes may reduce working time
