Abstract

A fire retarding sealant comprises a silicone resin, a filler, a ceramic fire retardant such as zinc borate, a smoke suppressant such as stearate coated calcium hydroxide, and either aluminium hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide, preferably the former. The sealant is intumescent, and non-setting, and is intended for placement around pipes, cables and service penetrations in walls, floors and ceilings. At the temperatures encountered in fires, the aluminium hydroxide decomposes to form aluminium oxide and steam, the latter causing the sealant to intumesce while being relatively harmless to people (no halogen gases are evolved). The aluminium oxide and zinc borate form a crust on the intumesced sealant, providing a further fire retardant property.

Description

Sealants DESCRIPTION ~.
The inventlon relates to a sealant whlch is silic~-ne based and has non-setting and _ire-retarding --~
in,umescing properties.

It is known that fire retarding sealants mav be place^
around pipes, cables and service penetrations in WG~
floors and ceilings. However, such sealan~s mav preve-.
access for servicing purposes.

The inventlon provides a sealant com-rislns a silic--_ resin, a filler, a ceramic fire retaraant, a sm^~e su?~ressant, and either aluminium hy~oxide or magnes:_m hydroxide.

The sealant according to the inven :~n h_a in.umes_^-.
pro?erties derived from the aluminium o- magnes:um hvdroxide. Its fire retarding proper~ies a~e enh_nced ^i the inclusion of the ceramic fire retardant, whic;. __ preferably zinc borate. The pre~erred hvdre.Yide i-aluminium hydroxide. At a temperatu-e o- abou~ 200_, this compound decomposes to form 21 uminium oYiae a-.~
steam, the latter causing the sealant to intumes_e whi:e bei~g relatively harmless to people. The aluminium oxi--and zinc borate form a crust on the intumesced seal_-..
providing a further fire retardant ?roperty. ~t ~he temperatures encountered in fire~, the magnes _m hydroxide behaves in a corresponding manner.

mhe sealant accordlng to the inven~ rere ably contains a mlnlmum o- 30,' by welght o_ .~e heat-curing silicone resin, and 10 to 20,' by weight 5-- fliler. The silicone resin used is commercially availas_a as silicone gum. The sillcone gum may have a molecu a- welght of about 250000 to ~0000 and a penetration ~est value of _bout 600 .o 900. Other silicone resins ~,ay De used in -ne compounding o~ the sealant. Althoua.~ manv _illers could be used, dolomite is preferred on ~he crounas of whiteness and economy.

The aluminium hydroxide preferably consti._~es up to 40%
by weight of the sealant. The amount _ in~umescence increases with the amount of aluminium hva~oxid-.

The sealant according to the invention may further contain any additives customarily incluaed in such compositions. These may include sur-actants, ?lasticisers, preservatives, pigments, tool-~bility (shaping and forming) improvers and rheolo3y modifiers.
So called "high pressure" intumescent prooucts, such as activated graphite and sodium silicate, may also be added.

It is especially preferred to add a lu~inous pigment suchas copper-activated zinc sulphide. This pigment luminesces in the absence of light, and may act as a visual identi ication of the grade of seaia..t to building inspectors and rire prevention officers, b_th on initial and subsequent inspections. -WO94/114~5 ~ 4 9 ~ PCT/G~93/02321 n ~ st-ate- b~ _oll-wlng ~xam~ies:
