Ablative Coated Batt - Thermal insulation

1 Application typeFireConstruction typePenetration Void FillersAblative Coated BattFirestop solution for large voids in walls and floorsX(59)(K2)CI/SfBRockwool supports FIRAS accredited installersAs part of the comprehensive FirePro range of fireprotection products, the Rockwool Ablative CoatedBatt is used to provide fire and acoustic barriers forvoids created by the passage of services in both drywall systems and masonry walls and floors. Suchservices include pipes made from steel, copper, PVC, ABS and HDPE together with sheathed cablessupported on both trays and ladders. The Batts canalso be used to from a blank seal, up to 1200mm x600mm, in such wall and floor voids.

2 In response to this growing and increasinglyimportant market, Rockwool has re-designed andtested the product to the dedicated fire resistancestandard for penetration seals - prEN 1366-3. Due toits specific nature, this document is intended tosupersede the traditional BS 476: Parts 20 and 22previously used for fire seal testing in the UKconstruction market. The tests have proved the capability of a single60mm Batt to provide up to 4 hours fire resistanceintegrity and up to 2 hours insulation when usedwith all of the services listed above and also as ablank seal. Even for extreme requirements, where 4 hours integrity and insulation are required tomaintain the performance of a masonry wall, asolution can also be accomplished with a doubleBatt benefits: Excellent fire resistance from single thickness Batt Standard size.

5 Where but joints are required between cut sections of adjacentBatts, the fire rated coating is applied to both mating edges in order to form a fire tight bond between the individual pieces of insulation . All joints, including those around the perimeter of the Batt, are thenpointed with FirePro Acoustic Intumescent Sealant to complete the must be noted that plastic pipes (PVC, ABS and HDPE etc.) must besleeved with FirePro Insulated Fire Sleeves at the point at which they pass through the Ablative Coated Batt. Similarly to achieve fireresistance insulation (I) with metal pipes such as steel and copper, thepipes must be fully insulated along their length and, for a minimumdistance of 500mm either side of the Coated batt, this insulation mustbe Rockwool FirePro FireTube.
