Astro PFP FR EX Mortar
Colour: Off White
Size 20Litre
Astro PFP FR EX Mortar is a dry white powder composed of inorganic compounds and perlite. When mixed with water, it transforms into a highly thermally insulating fire-sealing compound, designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through openings in fire-rated walls and floors, including around service penetrations. The mortar maintains acoustic integrity and expands by approximately 1% during curing, ensuring a tight seal. It dries to an off-white color, can be sanded or drilled easily, and is paintable, making it versatile for various construction needs.
Astro PFP FR EX Mortar
Colour: Off White
Size 20Litre
Astro PFP FR EX Mortar is a specialized construction material, presented as a dry white powder composed of carefully selected inorganic compounds and perlite. This formulation is engineered to offer exceptional fire protection and thermal insulation when used in building construction, particularly in scenarios requiring stringent fire safety measures.
Composition and Properties
The mortar’s key ingredients include a blend of inorganic compounds known for their stability and fire-resistant characteristics, along with perlite, a lightweight volcanic glass that contributes to its excellent insulating properties. When the dry powder is mixed with water, it forms a thick, workable paste that can be applied to various openings in fire-rated walls and floors, including those created around building service penetrations such as pipes, cables, and ducts.
Fire Sealing and Thermal Insulation
Once applied, Astro PFP FR EX Mortar serves as a highly effective barrier against fire and smoke. The mixture not only resists the passage of flames and hot gases but also provides substantial thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer through the protected areas. This makes it an ideal choice for maintaining the integrity of fire-rated structures, ensuring that any openings created during construction or service installation do not compromise the overall fire resistance of the building.
Acoustic Performance and Expansion
In addition to its fire-resistant qualities, Astro PFP FR EX Mortar also supports the acoustic design of walls and floors. It helps maintain the soundproofing characteristics of these structures, preventing noise transmission through the sealed openings. During the curing process, the mortar expands approximately 1% by hydraulic action, which ensures a very tight seal around service penetrations and within the surrounding aperture. This expansion is crucial for achieving a robust and effective seal, enhancing both its fire-stopping and acoustic properties.
Ease of Use and Finishing
Astro PFP FR EX Mortar is designed with ease of application in mind. It is straightforward to mix and apply, and once cured, it is easy to sand or drill, allowing for any necessary adjustments or modifications after application. The compound dries to an off-white color, providing a neutral finish that can be left as is or painted to match the surrounding surfaces. This versatility in finishing options makes it suitable for a wide range of aesthetic requirements in construction projects.
Applications
This mortar is particularly useful in commercial and industrial buildings, where maintaining fire safety standards is critical. It is often used in areas where mechanical and electrical services penetrate fire-rated structures, ensuring that these penetrations do not become weak points in the building’s fire defense system. Its combination of fire resistance, thermal insulation, and acoustic performance makes Astro PFP FR EX Mortar a comprehensive solution for enhancing building safety and performance.
