Fire Caulk Replacement E-136 Fire Stop Foam

APPLICATIONS
In recent years, "FIRE BLOCKING" has been prescribed more and more by model building codes for use in defined areas, including, but not limited to, penetrations, ductwork, plumbing, electrical, etc.
The 2000 International Building Code (IBC) (in section R602.8) identify fireblocking materials as "approved material to resist the free passage of flame and the products of combustion." New science and testing has now demonstrated that PU foam can be used safely as a "fireblock", provided the foam is evaluated and tested for these applications like this Fire Block is. Handi-Foam Fireblock is used to seal concealed penetrations from floor to floor or room to room in residential construction (Type V or "combustible") to block the passage of flame and smoke.
Hand-Foam Fireblock can replace traditional fireblock materials, including E-136 caulks.
100s of Uses: PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, PENETRATIONS, HVAC, CHIMNEYS, LIGHTING more.
There is a significant difference between a "fireblock" and a "firestop"
A fireblock is approved for use in Type V combustible construction (i.e. residential housing and outbuildings). For example, fireblock is not for use in commercial fire rated wall assemblies. A firestop is tested in a specific construction detail for use in commercial or industrial fire-rated wall assemblies. For example, firestop is specified for use in one-hour or two-hour fire rated walls. Assemblies that do not require a timed fire rating, but require a "fire block" are acceptable applications for this product. Questions on specific application conformity to local codes should be directed to your building inspector's office. Some commercial/industrial application restrictions may apply.
