Astro PFP FR Putty Cord

Astro PFP FR Putty Cord

Size: 200x15mm

The Astro PFP FR Putty Cord is a high-performance, non-setting fire-rated putty specifically designed for applications requiring flexible and adaptable fire protection solutions. Supplied as a cord, this product is highly versatile, easy to apply, and capable of being shaped and fitted by hand. Its non-setting properties ensure it remains pliable, reusable, and re-serviceable over time, providing long-lasting fire safety in various construction scenarios.

Key Features:

1. Non-Setting, Flexible Formulation: The putty cord is made from a unique, non-setting material that remains soft and flexible. This feature allows for easy hand application and adjustment, making it an ideal solution for areas where conventional sealants may be difficult to use or impractical. Its flexibility also means it can accommodate movement in structures without cracking or losing its fire-protective properties.

2. Ease of Application: The Astro PFP FR Putty Cord is designed for user-friendly installation. Supplied in strips with a round cross-section, it can be easily shaped and fitted using just your thumbs, eliminating the need for specialized tools or equipment. This simplicity makes it an efficient choice for quick installations and adjustments.

3. Adaptability to Small Gaps: One of the primary advantages of the putty cord is its ability to be fitted around service penetrations where the gaps are very small or even non-existent. Unlike traditional fire-rated sealants that require a specific depth and backing material, the putty cord can be molded to cover gaps effectively, ensuring that fire safety standards are maintained without the need to fill the gap entirely.

4. Fire and Smoke Resistance: The Astro PFP FR Putty Cord is engineered to provide robust fire resistance, reinstating the fire rating of partitions by preventing the spread of smoke, flames, and toxic gases. In the event of a fire, the putty cord acts as a barrier, helping to contain the fire to a localized area and prevent it from spreading through service penetrations.

5. Acoustic and Air Sealing: In addition to its fire-resistant properties, the putty cord also offers sound insulation and air movement control. It helps to reduce noise transmission between rooms or through walls and ceilings, making it suitable for environments where both fire safety and acoustic performance are important.

6. Reusability and Re-Serviceability: The non-setting nature of the putty cord allows it to be reused and adjusted as needed, offering a sustainable and cost-effective fire protection solution. This is particularly beneficial in environments where services may need to be updated or reconfigured, as the putty can be easily removed and reapplied.

Applications:

• Service Penetrations: Ideal for sealing around cables, pipes, and conduits that pass through fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings, especially where conventional sealants cannot be applied due to space constraints.
• Electrical and Mechanical Installations: Suitable for use in areas with a high density of electrical and mechanical services, ensuring that fire safety is maintained without hindering access or flexibility.
• Acoustic and Air Sealing: Effective in environments where soundproofing and air leakage control are as important as fire resistance, such as offices, hospitals, and residential buildings.

Compliance and Safety Standards:

The Astro PFP FR Putty Cord is rigorously tested and certified to meet international fire safety standards. Its performance is validated to ensure it provides reliable protection in compliance with building regulations. This makes it a trusted choice for architects, builders, and safety professionals seeking to maintain the integrity of fire-rated partitions and structures.
