Fire-Rated Acrylic Sealant for Passive Fire Protection Soudal Firecryl FR is a high-performance, fire-resistant acrylic sealant designed to maintain the integrity of fire-rated walls and floors by sealing joints and gaps against the spread of smoke and flames. When exposed to fire, it swells to form a char that blocks fire and smoke penetration. Ideal for linear joints, service penetrations, and connection joints in fire-rated partitions and construction elements. Key Features & Benefits Fire Resistant: Fire rating up to 4 hours (tested to EN 1366-4). Intumescent Action: Expands when exposed to heat to form a fire-resistant char barrier. Permanently Flexible: Accommodates joint movement while maintaining fire protection. Paintable: Can be overpainted with most water-based and synthetic paints after curing. Low VOC & Easy to Use: Water-based formulation for smooth application and easy clean-up.
