Siderise LGS Linear Gap Seals are flexible, water-resistant, intumescent linear gap seals that expand when exposed to heat. They provide a versatile means of sealing junctions between building elements against fire penetration. They are maintenance-free and resistant to fungi and vermin.
The compressible foam core accommodates different joint widths to allow for structural movement whilst additionally meeting requirements for cold smoke seal, thermal and acoustic properties.
Standard sizes are available to suit voids up to 150mm and provide a 2-hour fire rating. The material can also be used as an effective, adaptable fire stop inside cable trunkings - allowing for the installation of further cables.
Siderise LGS Linear Gap Seals are made from an open-cell flame retardant acoustic foam laminate with a graphite intumescent coating containing binders which ensure material flexibility.
In fire conditions, the seal maintains a close-fitting position to prevent the passage of cold smoke. At the designed temperature, the intumescent coating begins to expand on the fire side of the joint.
During this reaction, the foam gradually compresses and is replaced by the expanding mass of intumescent graphite.
The seal retains its flexibility on the non-fire side to accommodate any heat-induced movement of the structural elements. Thus the fire is prevented from penetrating rapidly into the joint.
