PRODUCT DATA
Evo-Stik Intugard Sealant
Intumescent Sealant for Fire Resistant Doors
E
Features
Tested to BS476 : Part 8 : 1972 to assist fire
doors to achieve half hour or one hour fire
resistance as appropriate.
Easy to apply.
Can be overpainted.
Contains no solvent - safe in use.
Gives a superior smooth finish.
Evo-Stik Intugard is a specially developed paste for placing
by gun in grooves in the edges of doors or door frames.
When the gap between the door and frame is subjected to
heat, Evo-Stik Intugard intumesces so that the gap is
sealed to the passage of hot smoke and flame for a period
consistent with the fire resistance rating of the door.
As Evo-Stik Intugard can be sanded and overpainted the
final appearance of the door is far superior to solid strip
methods of fire resistance.
Uses
Evo-Stik Intugard can be used in the following areas:
In fire resistant door set construction. Evo-Stik Intugard
is extruded into grooves, 10 mm wide x 3 mm deep,
cut in the frame or door edge.
One groove for a ‘half hour door’ and two grooves for a
‘one hour door’ is the normal recommendation for fire
resistant doors constructed to satisfactory standard in
other respects.
The intumescing properties have also proved very useful in
connection with the use of Evo-Stik Intugard as a bedding
compound for metallic door furniture.
Upgrading of doors to fire resistant standard.
Ordinary panel doors can be upgraded to a half hour
resistant standard by filling in the panels with plaster
board, bonding 4 mm plywood to both faces and placing
Evo-Stik Intugard in a 10 mm wide x 3 mm deep
continuous groove around the sides and top door edges.
