The melting-fuse may be a non-stable container that contains compressed or vacuumed mineral wool, such as stone wool, that is attached to the fixation details between building components that must be air-permeable that must then provide sufficient fire resistance. The application includes melting-fuses. The fuse works in two parts, first it holds the compressed or vacuumed mineral wool in the desired location, without this prematurely expanding and thus interrupting the necessary air flow. The second form of the fuse is designed for the fact that this melts first in the event of fire, after which the compressed or vacuumed mineral wool expands and seals the cavity. Through the melting of the fuse and the subsequent sealing of the detail/opening where the application is installed, the further spread of the fire through the air flow is prevented.
The confinement of compressed or vacuumed mineral wool in a container, solid or not, that melts during a fire, whether or not an internal fuse, whether or not supplemented with a stretch of tape that foams up in a fire, whereby the containment of at least one side breaks open or melts during a fire, after which the compressed or vacuumed mineral wool then expands in the desired direction and closes off along the entire length the space in which the solution is installed, so that there is no spread of the fire and the solution ensures the desired fire-resistance, also through the installed stretch of tape that foams up during a fire, through sufficient sealing.
Installing a cassette more specifically on the inside of the cavity between structural components and the outer façade if these are ventilated façades, whereby the cassette contains compressed or vacuumed mineral wool, whether or not supplemented with a stretch of tape that foams up during a fire, whereby the mineral wool is contained in the cassette and the containment melts away first on at least one side if a fire starts, after which the compressed or vacuumed mineral wool expands in the desired direction, thus staying in place and fully closing off the space between the building and the façade over the entire length, so that there is no spread of the fire and the solution, using the installed stretch of tape that foams up during a fire, ensures the desired fire resistance.
