FIRETIGHT FuseFIRETIGHT FUSE®
The patented FIRETIGHT Fuse is a fire stop / cavity barrier specifically designed for ventilated façade systems. The Fuse consists of compressed water repellent
Rockwool Rockfit Premium held between two connected cement fiber panels, allowing airflow and draining of moisture within the façade construction.
These panels are held together by special pre-tensioned fuses. In the event of a fire and the trigger temperature is exceeded in the fuse (140°C), these fuses melt, causing the compressed mineral wool to expand and completely seal the opening against fire and hot smoke.
The Fuse is equipped with a reactive intumescent tape on the front and back to fully seal any irregularities in the construction against fire.
- Fire resistance +60 minutes
- Tested fire resistance for air gaps up to 50mm
- Fast and easy installation - No need for additional brackets or glue
- Durable fire safety, no degradation of performance
- Installation without waste, easy to separate at demolition
- Can be used both vertical and horizontally
APPLICATION
The FUSE can be used both horizontally and vertically in ventilated façade systems. For closed / unventilated façade systems we recommend using
FIRETIGHT Fire stop.The installation of the Fuse is fast and easy. The construction is ventilated until the event of a fire causes a quick firetight seal between building components. No additional brackets, fittings, or sealant are required.
FIRE RESISTANCE
The FIRETIGHT Fuse has an optimal
tested fire resistance of +60 minutes, for an airgap up to 50mm.The fire resistance is tested according the (pre-norm) prEN 1364-6:2016. "
Determination of the fire resistance of non-loadbearing building elements – Part 6: Fire-resistant cavity sealing (Cavity Barriers)."
Both the cement fiber panels and the Rockwool stone wool base materials have the highest fireclass (
A1).
