Electrical socket boxes provide a fire risk and can act as a catalyst for the passage of fire through fire rated constructions. ROCKWOOL Intumescent Putty Pads provide fire resistance for pre-existing socket boxes and openings in plasterboard walls. Using the latest technology, they can provide acosutic insulation to reduce noise transfer through the construction.
ROCKWOOL Intumescent Putty Pads are manufactured from a non-setting, flexible silicone-based intumescent polymer that possesses a low smoke emission. Should there be a fire, these Intumescent Putty Pads will activate at a temperature of 200°C where the pad will expand to fill the space left by burnt out socket boxes, creating a seal that will prevent the passage of fire and smoke.
