ASF, a comprehensive range of sealants, wraps and boards for the fire safety market, is launched.

Polyseam, the own brand developer and manufacturer of sealants, adhesives and fillers announced today the launch of its new ASF range. The products, which include sealants, pipe wraps, pipe collars and fire boards, help to ensure that both new builds and refurbished properties meet the latest requirements for air and sound insulation and for fire stopping.

Neil Smith, Sales & Business Development Manager at Polyseam, commented; "Recent changes in legislation are requiring specifiers and builders to think in more detail about how they can improve insulation levels, not only for fire but also sound and air. Using passive fire protection solutions along with the complimentary insulators for air and sound can make a real difference to both the comfort and safety levels in a building, be it residential or commercial."

There are currently six products in the ASF stable, all of which have been independently assessed and certified to the latest, internationally recognised standards including EN1363-1:199, EN1366-3:2004, 2009, BS476 Part 20:1987, BSEN ISO 717-1:1997. All products have Certifire third party certification.

The products in the range are:

FR Mineral Wool Board - designed to maintain the fire resistance of separating walls and floors where breached by building services.

Pipe Wrap & Pipe Collars - contain a graphite based material that will expand to fill a void created when plastic pipes have melted as a result of fire.

S290 - an acoustic intumescent sealant that prevents the spread of smoke and fire through joints and service penetrations.

S291 - an intumescent pressure sealant to prevent the passage of smoke and flames by closing the void left by plastic pipes.

Socket Box Protection - a fire and sounded rated putty that prevents the passage of smoke, flames, sound and air through an electrical socket.

Other products are already under development with new products scheduled to be launched later in the year.
