NS Putty Pads are a pre-cut ablative pad designed for easy application around single and double electrical sockets where fire resistance is required or acoustic isolation and air permeability is a requirement.
Can be used in flexible walls, rigid walls and floors
Can be used in large service openings up to 250mm x 150mm
Can be used in Metallic Pipes, Cables, Cable Bunches, Cable Trays and Cable Ladders
Causes no known effects to plastic pipes, plastic cables, sheathing or metallic components
Contributes to Green Building
Non-setting compound
Highly flexible and water resistant
Halogen free, resists fungi and vermin
Maintains a fire and smoke barrier around sockets in flexible wall systems
High tack adhesion, pliable and mouldable with excellent self-bonding properties
Preformed shape to fit most common socket boxes
Key Installation Points:
For good adhesion the surfaces of the building elements shall be free of any dust or grease and may need to be primed. On good, clean virgin concrete and masonry, no priming required. Do not apply to damp surfaces
Ensure that the aperture and services in question are tested with NS Putty Pads and the site conditions are within the application specification
NS Putty Pads fit either internally or externally on the back of electrical boxes
Remove the lining paper from the pad
When using internally, fold the pad to the shape of the box then press down firmly into the box working into the back and corners ensuring that NS Putty Pads are firmly pressed into place. Press the edges of the pad together to form a continuous seal inside the box. Ensure the edges are brought firmly together to ensure complete coverage
When using externally, fold the pad around the back and sides of the socket overlapping onto the substrate and by pressing firmly to ensure that the NS Putty Pads are in place. Press the edges of the pad together to form a continuous seal inside the box. Ensure the edges are brought firmly together to ensure complete coverage
Ensure NS Putty Pads are tightly moulded around electrical wiring passing into the socket or from out of the socket if external application
The NS Putty Pads must be installed to ensure complete airtight seal
