FiretempTM Caulk and Spray

The Simple Firestopping Solution

STOPPING THE SPREAD OF FIRE AND SMOKE Commercial and industrial buildings, and the people who work in them, are safer because of strides made in the science of fire prevention and containment. Without proper firestopping measures, a fire can produce a devastating domino effect - spreading rapidly from room to room through unsealed or improperly sealed openings. Firetemp TM caulk and sprays confine flame and smoke to a specific area for 1 to 4 hours, providing much-needed extra time for safe evacuation of the building and firefighting efforts. FIRETEMP CAULK AND SPRAYS - THREE PRODUCTS, MANY USES Before you can use a firestop product, you have to determine whether it has been tested and certified for the specific installation you're planning. When you're faced with a wide array of competing products, selection becomes difficult, a single manufacturer often offers many different choices that are each limited in their use. As a result, you can end up ordering a wide assortment for one construction or remodeling project ... and that gets costly. Johns Manville makes it much easier. Our three Firetemp products - an intumescent caulk, intumescent spray, and endothermic spray - have been listed by UL for use in more than 400 firestop applications. Ordering basically becomes deciding which container size or sizes you need. Firetemp products are time-efficient and cost-effective. They're simple to install and water-based so clean up goes faster. You avoid two-part mixing. Therefore, no solvents or their fumes are involved. And there's no need to hassle with bulky collars, wraps or blankets when using the caulk. FIRETEMP CAULK A one-component, ready-to-use sealant system, this elastomeric gun-grade caulk is designed to firestop penetrations that pass through gypsum wall board, concrete, concrete block, and wood header and sill plates in horizontal and vertical applications. It can be used in both single-component systems and multi-component systems that incorporate mineral wool. Firetemp caulk controls the spread of fire, smoke, fumes, toxic gases, and water when exposed to open flames up to 2000° F (1093° C) for as long as 1 to 4 hours if installed correctly according to system designs listings. Features of Firetemp Caulk: 1, 2, 3 and 4 hour "F" rated Dynamically tested for up to 33% joint movement Priming not required Sleeving and insulation backing not required Adheres to all construction materials Product designed for self-loading caulk guns Complements Johns Manville Sound-SHIELDTM insulation systems to maximize acoustical performance Does not promote corrosion as tested to ASTM C 665 Safe, easy and economical to use and clean up Chemically compatible with PVC, CPVC, ABS, XLPE, PB pipes and cables Remains flexible, and fully water and mildew resistant after curing Does not support mold growth as tested to ASTM C 665 FIRETEMP SPRAYS Johns Manville offers two modified latex elastomeric sprays that can be sprayed, brushed, or rolled onto a surface in joint applications. One spray is an intumescent variety, meaning that it expands when exposed to a fire's intense heat and fills in gaps or voids. The other, an endothermic spray, will absorb heat from fire and provide a firestopping barrier. Both sprays control the spread of fire, smoke, fumes and water when exposed to open flames up to 1850° F (1010° C) for as long as 2 hours if installed correctly according to system designs listings. Features of Firetemp Spray: 1 and 2 hour "F&T" ratings for joints UL 2079 tested for up to 33% joint movement Priming not required Adheres to dry or damp surfaces Forms a water-tight bond with most common construction materials (including combinations of concrete, gypsum, wallboard or drywall/sheetrock, steel, copper, aluminum, PVC or CPVC jacketed electrical wiring) Complements Johns Manville insulation systems to maximize acoustical performance Does not promote corrosion as tested to ASTM C 665 1/16" to 1/8" sealant required for top of wall and slab edge Cures quickly - only 48 hours for full cure Produces a flexible, durable, waterproof seal after curing Can be painted after curing, with no priming needed Safe, easy, and economical to use and clean up TESTING FOR RATINGS AND CERTIFICATION* All Firetemp products are subjected to Fire Endurance Testing to meet or exceed the demanding criteria specified by the building industry.
