Stopseal Batt is a coated stone wool board used to reinstate the fire resistance performance of flexible & rigid wall and rigid floor constructions, wall and floor constructions where apertures are penetrated by single or multiple services. The Stopseal Batt is tested with a variety of services including multi composite pipes, metallic pipes, plastic pipes, all with or without insulation, cable trays and cables, as well as smoke extract and fire resistant ducts.
Fire resistance tested in flexible walls, rigid walls & floors, composite panel, CLT wall and Durasteel wall
Suitable for indoor use without additional environmental protection
Remains flexible
Life expectancy of over 25 years
Suitable for large openings in walls and floors with additional supports
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 & masonry, no priming required
Ensure that the aperture and services in question are tested with Stopseal Batt and the site conditions are within the application specification
Measure the size of the opening, relevant position and the size of the services. Mask all surfaces where necessary to ensure the aesthetics of Pyrocoustic Sealant
Draw these details onto the Stopseal Batt and cut out using a suitable saw
Using a trowel or pallet knife apply a thick layer of Pyrocoustic Sealant to all areas of contact around the opening and services. Apply a similar thickness of Pyrocoustic Sealant to all of the edges of the cut Stopseal Batt
Fit the cut Stopseal Batt into the opening, ensuring a tight friction fit
Push the Stopseal Batt firmly into the opening using the flat of the hand. Continue the above procedure to fill the opening ensuring that a layer of Pyrocoustic Sealant is applied to all areas of contact between the boards. The seal should be made up from a few pieces of Stopseal Batt as practicable
Any small gaps in the seal left when all cut pieces have been installed should be tightly packed with off-cuts and coated with Pyrocoustic Sealant. A layer of Pyrocoustic Sealant should be applied to all joint lines formed
To complete the installation a small bead of Pyrocoustic Sealant should be applied around the extremities of the opening and services. Whatever the edges of the seal line with the wall/floor surface, the bead of Pyrocoustic Sealant should be smoothed to overlap the wall/floor surface by approx. 5mm
A Stopseal double Batt system may have a requirement for structural supports, they should be steel back to back angles circa 40mm x 40mm x 1.2mm thickness. All joints to be off-set or staggered
