Zettex Firefoam
Zettex Firefoam
Fire Foam
Product description
Zettex Fire Foam is a single-part fire-resistant polyurethane foam. This foam hardens with the absorption of
moisture from the air. This cured fire-resistant foam has excellent temperature and noise insulation with strong
adhesive properties. It adheres to different surfaces apart from PTFE, polyethylene and silicone surfaces. The
foam is sensitive to UV-light and sunlight.
Material
Single-component polyurethane foam. Without CFC, HCFC and HFC (ozone-friendly and does not contribute to
the greenhouse effect).
Advantages
- Fire retardant up to max. 180 min.
- Excellent sealing against smoke and gas
- B1 Fire class (DIN 4102-1)
- Yield to max. 42 l
- Strong adhesion to most construction materials
- Timesaving for the builder
- Professional dosage unit: more accurate and efficient application
- Excellent physical properties
- Excellent temperature and noise insulation
- Mould and moisture resistant
- Finished with plaster
- Can be painted over
Areas of application
Zettex Firefoam works excellently for the fire-retarding assembly of window and door frames, fire and smoke
retarding sealing of all openings in walls, floors and roofs and other applications where fire-retarding properties
are required.
Zettex Firefoam adheres to most usual building materials: concrete, brick, plaster, foam polystyrene, PVC, metal
and wooden elements.
Available form
Spray can 750 ml
Application instructions
The Fire Foam can be fixed on the Zettex Foamgun. This enables optimal Fire Foam spraying. Shake the can
thoroughly 20 times before use. This ensures optimal adhesion of the Fire Foam. After spraying the Zettex
Foamgun can be cleaned with Zettex Foamcleaner and hands can be cleaned with Zettex Cleaning Wipes.
