At AFTLPL laboratory, we specialize in testing fire stopping products designed to maintain the fire integrity, stability, and insulating properties of building elements. Service penetration seals are utilized to seal openings where services such as gas pipework, electricity cabling, telecommunications cabling, water supply pipework, and waste removal penetrate separating elements. These seals ensure that the fire resistance performance of the structure is maintained, preventing the spread of fire and smoke through these penetrations.
Linear joint seals are installed within junctions between separating elements, such as walls or floors, to reinstate their fire resistance performance. These seals effectively prevent the passage of fire and smoke through joints, contributing to the overall fire safety of the building.
The tests can be done in both horizontal and vertical orientations along with hose stream tests as specified by the standards. At AFTLPL, fire stopping products undergo rigorous testing based on destructive fire test evidence to ensure their reliability and effectiveness in real-world fire scenarios.
