Astro Intumescent Pillow

The X Series Fire Pillows are advanced fire protection devices designed to create an effective fire barrier in various settings. They are particularly useful in environments where services such as pipes and cables are frequently modified, added, or replaced. These pillows offer both temporary and permanent fire-stopping solutions, ensuring flexibility and reliability in maintaining fire safety standards.

Features

1. Intumescent Properties: The core component of the X Series Fire Pillows is an intumescent material, which expands significantly when exposed to high temperatures. This expansion seals gaps and prevents the spread of fire and smoke through penetrations.

2. Waterproof Construction: The outer casing of the fire pillows is made from a waterproof glass cloth, ensuring durability and effectiveness even in damp or wet conditions.

3. Organic Fillers: Inside the waterproof bag, organic fillers provide additional fire resistance, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the pillows.

4. Adaptability: The pillows can be easily added, removed, or rearranged within an aperture. This adaptability makes them ideal for environments where the configuration of services changes frequently.

5. Versatility: They have been rigorously tested with various service types, including metallic pipes, cables, cable bunches, cable trays, and cable ladders, ensuring broad applicability.

6. Temperature Flexibility: The pillows remain flexible and effective in a wide temperature range, from –5°C to +40°C, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
