Abesco Fire Rated Foam-FireRated Foam- Fire Rated Expanding Foam- Abesco Fire Rated Expanding Foam- Firestop Distributor- FireStop Protection ATS stock a large selection of firestop and expanding foam firestop including Abesco FP200 FR Expanding Foam in 24 ounce and 10 ounce cans wic consists of Fire Rated polyurethane expanding foam, and is designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke from one compartment to another through gaps and voids through fire rated walls or floors. One 24 ounce can expands to about 1 cubic foot depending on temperature and humdity. Our firestop varieties include, puttt, brick . mortar, caulk and the Abesco FP200 Fire Rated Expanding Foam. The FP 200 is an expanding, fire-rated polyurethane foam designed to prevent room-to-room fire and smoke spread through gaps or voids in fire-rated walls and floors. FP200 Fire Rated Expanding Foam provides an insulating seal on and between concrete, brick, wood, metal, aluminum and steel.Firestop and Firestopping is an integral part of fire protection engineering in all commercial buildings and are required by law in most states to satisfy mandated laws for commercial building fire protection. Firestop systems protect against the passage of flames, deadly gases and toxic smoke through openings that are created for penetrations, joints and gaps in fire-resistive walls, floors and floor/ceiling assemblies. The integrity of fire-rated assemblies is restored by firestop systems. Building codes require third-party tested systems to be installed whenever fire-rated construction is compromised by such openings.
Most large cities now have fire codes that require that "firestop" or "firefoam" be used between raceways- or any transit between rooms or offices or air pathways. When you’re trying to prevent flame and smoke from speading through wall penetrations, the fire department or your little fire extinguisher will not help you as neither will do you much good. This is why codes in many areas of the USA have included the use of this product. "Famous fires" like the MGM fire in Las Vegas in 1980 contibuted to increased safety requirements. To prevent rapid spread of fires in an office building or even a home- you really need is an intumescent filler material like Abesco’s FP200 Fire-Rated Foam. This firestop-in-a-can fills in the gaps where cables or pipes pass through walls, ceilings, and floors, to maintain a tight seal that inhibits fire spread between rooms. So how does it work? The Abesco FP200 is intumescent, which means that it expands and forms a hard, impenetrable char when exposed to fire. This char has the ability to seal out flame, smoke, toxic fumes and water for up to 2 hours of fire exposure. The foam can be used to seal gaps in concrete, brick, wood, and metals like aluminum and steel, and its performance isn’t affected by humidity or moisture. As a matter of fact, after application it actually cures (dries) upon being exposed to atmospheric humidity.Abesco FP200 foam has been fire-rated according to the requirements of ASTM E-814 (UL 1479), contains no chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and is environmentally friendly. The FP200 Fire Rated Expanding Foam provides an insulating seal to concrete, brick, wood, metal, aluminum and steel.

Active fire suppression includes mechanical systems such as sprinklers, that are designed to extinguish fires after they have started. Passive fire protection functions to contain fires within the areas in which they start, preventing loss of life by preventing the products of combustion (smoke, hot gasses and flames) from spreading throughout a building.
Fire is a dangerous enough phenomenon that redundancy in fire protection is necessary. Having passive protection in place helps assure building occupants that there will be time to exit before gasses, fire and smoke spread throughout the building. If active systems fail, as they often do, then there is still a passive system in place for life safety.
It is the use of many products designed for specific firestop applications that comprise a complete passive firestop fire protection systems. When installed properly, these firestop products work in concert with one another to create effective barriers against the passage of flames, smoke, and superheated gases. Used is conjunction with other firestop fire protection methods, properly installed passive fire protection will save lives, protect property, and minimize business losses.
Joints
Construction joints must be sealed with joint systems, which will impart a fire resistance at least equal to those of the adjacent constructions so that overall fire resistance is not compromised.
Fire resistive joint systems are used in building construction to seal joints, and must be of the same or greater fire resistance (temperature) rating as the wall or floor containing the opening which they are designed to protect. Perimeter joint systems are most often used to seal a clearance separation between curtain walls and floors. They are designed to accommodate various movements induced

Abesco CT120 Cable Transits are designed to prevent the spread of fire from one compartment to another where electrical, data, and communication cables penetrate through separating walls and floors.
Abesco CT120 Cable Transits consist of a square section steel sleeve, which contains the heat reactive intumescent material. The unit has an integral hinged top which provides an easy retro-fit option where cables are pre-installed. Abesco CT Mounting Plates provide a quick and easy method of installing single or multiple CT120 Cable Transits. even in drywall partitions.
WHY USE ABESCO CT120 CABLE TRANSITS ?
