Hidden gaps can leave buildings vulnerable to the spread of fire, particularly following the creation of voids for the passage of services. The ROCKWOOL Ablative Coated Batt provides an innovative air seal barrier to stop the passage of fire as well as improving sound attenuation. The ROCKWOOL 50mm Ablative Coated Batt is a mineral wool insulation product, pre- coated on both sides with a high performance ablative coating. It has been comprehensively tested as part of the ROCKWOOL FIREPRO® range of fire protection products and can be installed across a variety of services and substrates including solid walls and floors, flexible walls, multi-service penetrations, the head of wall, blank seals and face fixed applications as well as large framed service voids. The Ablative Coated Batt is tested to provide up to 4 hours fire resistance whilst also providing an excellent acoustic performance and importantly, maintaining air tightness and reducing unwanted heat losses. Ablative Coated Batts are not intended for use as load-bearing seals. Where a load bearing seal is required, ROCKWOOL Firestop Compound should be considered. Ease of installation - the ROCKWOOL Ablative Coated batt can be easily cut to the size and shape required to fit the aperture and penetrations. Cuts to the batt should be kept to a minimum. Application - ROCKWOOL Acoustic Intumescent Sealant to be applied to all cut edges of the batt ensuring an even cover is achieved over the entire thickness of the batt. Some applications may require the use of the FIREPRO Glue to cut edges.
