Abstract
There is disclosed a fire-resistant seal for sealing around a member passing through a fire-resistant building divider. The seal is formed of an adhesive fire-resistant cement on at least one side generally in the plane of the divider surface, behind the adhesive cement is placed bulk ceramic fiber. The second surface of the seal may be covered with an adhesive cement.
Claims8
A fire-resistant seal at least partially surrounding a member passing through a fireproof building dividing structure comprising an adhesive fire-resistant molding compound, said molding compound comprising an aluminum trihydrate endothermic material, ceramic fiber and colloidal silica, spanning the opening between said member and said dividing structure at about the plane of at least one surface of said structure and ceramic fiber filling the interstices between said member and said dividing structure.
A method of forming a fire-resistant seal at least partially surrounding a member passing through a fireproof building dividing structure comprising applying a fire-resistant adhesive cement, said cement comprising an aluminum trihydrate endothermic material, ceramic fiber and colloidal silica, to span the opening between said member and the first surface of said building dividing structure and inserting bulk ceramic fiber into the opening forming the interstice between the pipe and the inner surface of the hole in the dividing structure through which the member passes.
