FR230 Intucompound Fire Mortar

FR230 Intucompound is a high quality gypsum based fire mortar containing Optifire+ unique traceability identifier. It provides a safe working platform for loads up to 2.5 kN/m² when installed in full accordance to our recommendations.

Usage/purpose

FR230 Intucompound is used to stop the spread of fire and smoke around services that pass through compartment walls and floors, whilst providing a load bearing capability in floor seals. The system also provides thermal, acoustic and air sealing performance.

FR230 is suitable for the following service penetrations: single cables, cable bundles, loaded cable trays/ladders/baskets, non-combustible pipes.

FR230 has also been tested in cunjunction with other Nullifire closer devices (e.g.FP302 Intustrap, FS709 HP), to seal cable trunking, combustible pipes, insulated non-combustible pipes, fire rated cable enclosures.

FR230 may also be used around dampers & ventilation ducts (consult manufacturer).

Typical areas of use include: health and leisure facilities, schools, universities, modular construction, commercial buildings, hospitals, retail and industrial units, train stations, nuclear power plants, etc...

Always read SDS, pre-application guidance and relevant application detail prior to application. Ensure the latest documents are downloaded prior to every project commencement.

Rigid floors must have a minimum thickness of 150mm (walls 100mm) and comprise aerated concrete or concrete with a minimum density of 650 kg/m³.
The supporting construction must be classified in accordance with EN 13501-2 for the required fire resistance and be suitable for the imposed load of the FR230.
Re-bar may not be used within a FR230 fire seal as a load benefit.
If the floor slab is less than 150mm thick, FI140 Shutter Slab or FB750 Intubatt should be face fixed to the underside using suitable anchors (alternative products may be used for shuttering, however if your chosen shutter is combustible, it must be removed after 50 hours).
FR230 should never be cast across a movement joint nor supported by a non-load bearing element.
Do not try to extend the working time by adding additional water.
Always mix in clean buckets. Using dirty buckets with mortar residue from previous mixes can reduce working time or prevent the product from achieving a correct chemical cure and bond.
Do not use directly around CPVC pipes; for this specific application, please use FS719 HP Blue for CPVC.
If used around Pegler X-Press Carbon Steel pipes, the pipe manufacturer should be consulted, and their recommendations followed.

Safety data sheet must be read and understood before use.
