What is a fire seal?

Did you know that, according to the International Fire Council IFC and based on the NFPA, it indicates that 75% of deaths in fires inside a building are due to inhalation of gases, and that approximately 57% of those who die were not in the place of origin? This is because visibility decreases by 47% and smoke velocity is between 120 and 420 feet per minute in a fire. The current fire protection trend is CONTAINMENT or COMPARTMENTATION, detection, and suppression, of horizontal and vertical areas with special seals resistant to fire and elevated temperatures.

Benefits

  • Protects human life and expensive equipment.
  • Provide certified time to vacate the place.
  • As it does not allow the passage of gases, it also does not allow noise and odorses.
  • The seal resists vibrations caused by earthquakes.
  • Reduces annual insurance premiums.
