Fire Barrier IC 15WB Sealant

Product Data

1. Product Description
3MTM Fire Barrier IC 15WB Sealant is a latex sealant designed for use as a one-part fire, smoke, noxious gas and water sealant. In addition, the unique intumescent property of this material (expands when heated) means that as the non-combustible pipe, cable or pipe insulation is consumed by fire,sealant expands to maintain the penetration seal. IC 1 5WB Sealant features superior adhesion strength, sealant rate and no-sag application with UL Classified fire protection systems plus a halogen-free formula. 3M Fire Barrier IC 15WB Sealant can be installed with a standard caulking gun, pneumatic pumping equipment or it can be easily applied with a putty knife or trowel. Sealant bonds to gypsum wall-board, concrete, metals, wood and cable jacketing. No mixing is required. Tool within 5 minutes of application, if required. 3M Fire Barrier IC 15WB Features Water Base: Easy clean up, no special handling, routine disposal. Intumescent: Expands when heated to maintain seal around items consumed by fire. Thixotropic: Will not sag or run in overhead or vertical applications. Halogen-free. Fast dry: Tack-free in approximately 8 to 12 minutes @ 73F(23C). Paintable. Best results obtained after 72 hour cure. Minimal shrinkage. Yellow color. Water seal: Seals against inadvertent water spills in the unexpanded state. High sealant rate: 2000 g/min. with 1/4 in. (6 mm) nozzle. Point contact allowed. Continuous Operating Temperature not to exceed120F (48C).
