a smoke resistant barrier. Up to 4 hour fire rating achievable.
A solvent-free, ready to use sealant, tested to the following
specifications:
BS EN1366 - 3:2009 achieving 4 hours integrity and 2 hours
insulation for a range of penetration seals & BS EN1366 - 4:2006
achieving 4 hour
integrity and insulation rating for a range of linear joints.

Uses
FIRESHIELD AC is specially manufactured to form an acoustic and
fire rated intumescent barrier in construction applications.
When subjected to heat Bond It FIRESHIELD AC swells (intumesces)
to provide an inert barrier to smoke and flame.
The fire resistance achievable with Bond It FIRESHIELD AC depends
upon the joint design, depth of sealant and substrates being
sealed. Details of fre testing are available on request.
It is non-slumping and rapid skinning. It can also be overpainted
within 1 hour.
Application
All surfaces to be sealed must be clean, dry and free from grease,
laitence or dust that may hinder adhesion.
When applying the sealant, ensure all crevices are filled and there
is complete contact between sealant and substrate. Tool down
using a wetted spatula. Any excess may be removed using soapy
water before FIRESHIELD AC dries. Do not apply in damp conditions.
Limitations
FIRESHIELD AC is not suitable in joints where movement exceeds +
or - 12.5% of joint width, or in external joints
