High Temperature Adhesive

FIREFLY® High Temperature Adhesive is a silicate based material used to seal or bond FIREFLY® barriers and ancillaries exposed to very high temperatures, drying to a cement-like finish with a continuous operating temperature of up to 1250°C

USE AREAS
Designed primarily to be used within the installation of a FIREFLY® flexible fire barrier system. High Temperature Adhesive is used as a system component to seal around penertrations through the barrier and also between layers of barriers and other materials such as FIREFLY® Collaroll and Penowrap to achieve a smoke seal.

Applied via a standard cartridge, the HTA will provide a rigid seal around these penetrations once dry.

KEY BENEFITS

FIREFLY® High Temperature Adhesive dries to a cement-like finish with good adhesion to many surfaces including glass fibre, metal, concrete, stone and ceramic.
Suitable for use where resistance to flame is required, with an operating temperature up to 1250°C.
Very widely used product to provide a penetration seal around the most commonly encountered materials.
HTA dries to a solid ceramic mass above 800°C which is resistant to thermal shock.
FIREFLY® fire barrier systems are tested and certified using FIREFLY® HTA.
Product is tested to BS476 Part 4 & EN 1366.
Supplied as a ready to use 310ml cartridge
