Firestop sealants and products can help stop the spread of fire smoke and toxic fumes.

Billions of dollars in annual property damages and thousands of injuries and fatalities occur annually due to structure fires. However, those catastrophes can be significantly reduced with improved firestop systems specification and installation awareness among architects, engineers, contractors, code inspectors and builders.

Close enough is not good enough: A demonstration of Proper vs Improper Firestopping

This video collaboration from UL and IFC illustrates the importance of proper firestop selection and installation. Installers, designers, inspectors, manufacturers and facility owners all play a critical role in ensuring compliance with fire life safety.

IFC’s mission is to promote the technology of fire and smoke containment in building construction through research, education and development of safety standards and code provisions. – http://www.firestop.org/

3M Fire Barrier CP-25WB+

Dependable and Easy-to-Use Firestop Sealant
Tough and ready-to-use, 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ is a high-performance, one-component, latex-based, intumescent sealant that dries to form a monolithic firestop seal.
