PipeBloc EL is designed and tested to seal service penetration apertures containing combustible plastic pipes and metallic pipes both with and without insulation. PipeBloc EL is formulated with thermoplastic composites based on reactive intumescent technology, it has been developed to provide high volume expansion and high-pressure seal in the event of a fire. PipeBloc EL offers a solution on pipes with a maximum diameter of 200mm.
PipeBloc EL allows for a variety of wall thickness's for internal and external applications. The ultra-thin design ensures that the EL wrap can be installed into the tightest of locations. PipeBloc EL can be installed in flexible wall, and rigid wall, and rigid floors. PipeBloc EL can also be installed directly into the Stopseal Batt System seal. PipeBloc EL comes as a 25 metre roll.

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
Ensure that the aperture and services in question are tested with PipeBloc PWP and the site conditions are within the application specification. An annular space needs to be present around the service to apply sufficient installation depth
Make sure that you have the correct wrap size for the type and size of pipe
Ensure where required or centrally within the wall that two wraps are used in the installation sealing both sides
Ensure when used in rigid floors that the wrap is installed as required in rigid floors, with regards to location of the wrap. Within the Silverseal Compounds the wrap is installed centrally taking into account the correct wrap size for the type and size of the pipe
Install the wrap into the wall around the service using the self-adhesive strip. Leaving 5mm from the front face of the penetration seal, thus allowing the gap to be filled with Pyrocoustic Sealant to fill the 5mm gap. Ensure that this is done on both sides of the penetration seal
