The basic idea is to limit and delay the expansion of fire to one compartment. This allows present persons to safely leave the building, and offers time to master and extinguish the fire. Because the importance of Passive Fire Protection is significantly increasing in renovating or building new , Bostik decided to heavily invest in product development and certifications for this market segment. With a huge experience concerning the sealing of linear joints (EN 1366- 4), we proudly present, our completed assortment which also offers solutions for service penetrations (EN 1366-3).

The certification offers a o Reaction to fire indicates the degree of transparent indication of where the products contribution of a material to the arise and can and cannot be applied to obtain a safe seal expansion of a fire. In other words: How compliant with the required fire resistance. inflammable/flammable is a certain material. Besides we have clear application guidelines A well-known norm for reaction to fire is the available. German DIN4102 part 1, with classifications A1, A2, B1, B2 and B3. o Fire Resistance is the time expressed in minutes which a compartment is able to fulfil its task; preventing the fire to expand out of the compartment. This fire resistance of (combined) products is tested and measured with standardized and frequently occurring situations. This means in fact, a product can have the highest classification for reaction to fire but does not offer any guarantee for a higher fire resistance.
