• Mechanical and Electrical Penetrations: Ideal for sealing around cables, pipes, and mixed penetrations in various shapes and sizes.
• Construction Sites with Unknown Specifications: Easily shape-able and adaptable, making it suitable for sites where design specifications are not fully known.
• Multiple Penetrating Elements: Effective for crossings with multiple elements, ensuring comprehensive sealing and fire protection.
• Maintenance and Repositioning: MASS can be easily removed and repositioned, facilitating maintenance and changes to installations.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for use in both commercial and residential buildings, providing reliable fire protection across different environments.

• Not suitable for submerged or constantly wet environments.
• Ensure compatibility with the specific substrates being used, as some materials may not adhere properly or provide the required fire resistance.
• While Graphit Foam offers some flexibility, excessive movement in joints can compromise the integrity of the fire stopping system.

Rothoblaas Fire products are designed and tested to meet the stringent requirements of the New Zealand Building Code for fire safety. These products comply with the relevant standards, including:

• NZBC Clause C3 (Fire affecting areas beyond the fire source): These products provide effective fire stopping solutions, preventing the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through penetrations in fire-rated walls and floors.
• NZBC Clause B2 (Durability): The materials used in MASS, Fire Foam, and Fire Silicone are durable and maintain their fire-resistant properties over the intended lifespan of the building.
• NZBC Clause F2 (Hazardous building materials): These products are safe to use and do not release harmful substances under normal conditions of use.

The combination of MASS and Graphit Foam has been tested and certified to international standards such as EN 13501-1 and EN 13501-2, ensuring their performance in fire-rated assemblies. This compliance ensures that these products provide reliable and effective fire protection in accordance with New Zealand’s building regulations.

MASS:

• Reusability: Can be removed and repositioned if maintenance or changes to the installation are needed.

Graphit Foam:

• No Melting or Dripping: When exposed to high heat, the foam does not melt or drip, preventing flame spread.
• Char Layer Formation: Creates a char layer that dramatically reduces heat release rate, mass loss, smoke generation, and toxic gas emission.

These attributes enhance the overall effectiveness and versatility of the fire-stopping solution, providing comprehensive protection and additional benefits beyond fire resistance.

Warranty & Maintenance
