What are the uses of fireproof mud?

By its name, we can also understand that fireproof mud can prevent fire, and it is used in many buildings. Moreover, it is also a flexible flame-retardant material. So since its launch, it has also been highly favored. So what are the uses of fireproof mud? How to use it correctly?

1、 What are the uses of fireproof mud?

1. Fireproof mud is mainly used for sealing holes in wires and cables to prevent fires from spreading from the holes to adjacent rooms and reduce fire losses. Avoiding the escalation of accidents has functions such as smoke blocking, fire prevention, and dust prevention. Therefore, this blocking material is widely used for blocking vertical and horizontal wire and cable penetration holes in power plants, industrial and mining enterprises, high-rise buildings, shipbuilding power, postal and telecommunications, substations, metallurgy and other system engineering.

2. If the gaps around the pipes passing through firewalls and floors are not filled tightly with non combustible materials, once a fire occurs, flames and smoke will spread through these openings and gaps, and a spark may develop into a disaster causing huge losses to people and property.

3. The cable well and pipeline well did not use non combustible materials equivalent to the fire resistance of the floor slab as required by the specifications for fire separation when passing through the floor slab. The holes connected to rooms, corridors, etc. were not filled tightly with non combustible materials, and some were not carefully separated or compacted after pipeline maintenance. Some fireproof mud is not sealed to the top, leaving gaps or holes. There are also various structural gaps between floor slabs and walls, as well as between walls. The so-called building fire sealing system refers to the comprehensive sealing of openings and gaps in these structures to prevent the spread of smoke and fire.

2、 How to use fireproof mud?

Fireproof mud is mainly used to seal holes, so the use of fireproof mud is actually very simple. Just mix the organic (mainly based on actual reports) (mainly based on actual reports) blocking material evenly and embed it into the hole. This organic (mainly based on actual reports) (mainly based on actual reports) blocking material is relatively hard at low temperatures, so when using it, it is necessary to heat the fireproof mud in warm water at about 50 degrees Celsius for a while to soften it slightly before use. Fireproof mud is generally used in conjunction with fireproof blocking materials (fireproof bags). When using fireproof mud, when the blocking thickness is 150mm, the fire resistance is excellent for ≥ 3 hours.
