Acoustic Putty Pads
Intumescent Putty Pads, crafted from a flexible, non-setting red silicone-based intumescent polymer, exhibit enduring properties. They maintain flexibility without hardening, cracking, or drying out over time.
Activated at temperatures of 200°C, these pads employ intumescent properties, restricting fire and smoke passage. When used on external sockets, Intumescent Putty Pads offer a rapid, effective, and clean method to attain necessary fire and acoustic ratings, complying with the 2006 edition of Building Regulations, approved document part E and B, sections 7 and 7.12 b.
Advantages:
- Reduces sound transmission
- Provides fire resistance
- Pre-cut cross shape ensures effortless installation
- Low smoke emission
- Retains flexibility
- Long-lasting performance
Intumescent Putty Pads serve the purpose of creating a fire and acoustic seal around electrical socket boxes. They effectively negate the need for labor-intensive baffle box installations.
Installation Steps:
- Remove the faceplate from the electrical socket box.
- Cut the pads to fit accurately.
- Mold the putty pads into the back of the box and around the cables.
- Trim any excess with a sharp knife.
- Replace and secure faceplates easily.
