Thermafiber Safing Fire Containment Insulation

Thermafiber Safing Fire Containment Insulation

Description:

THERMAFIBER Safi ng products are designed to provide life saving fi re protection in perimeter fi re containment systems, fl oor and wall penetrations, construction joints, and other fi restopping applications. These products are noncombustible, moisture-resistant, noncorrosive, nondeteriorating, mildew-proof and vermin-proof. Thermafi ber Safi ng provides thermal insulation, fi re protection, and acoustical control in many different UL and Intertek (formerly OPL) listed fi re containment assemblies of 1, 2, and 3-hr ratings.

Product Options:
  • Safi ng 4.0 pcf, 2” or greater thickness, is available with or without a vapor retarding foil facing.
  • Safi ng 6.0 pcf, 1.5” or greater thickness, is available with or without a vapor retarding foil facing.
  • Recycled Content Options1:
  • Special “Green” Fiber ............................................ 90%
  • EPA Choice Fiber (US Government Buildings) ........ 75%
  • Standard Fiber ...................................................... 70%
  • 1Recycled content options other than standard must be specifi ed at time of order.
Installation:

All fi restopping insulation should be installed per the architectural specifi cation or system specifi c test description. All compressed Safi ng insulation should be installed per the listed assembly.

  • Perimeter Installation: Safi ng insulation should be compression fi tted between the slab edge and the FireSpan curtain wall insulation, leaving no voids.
  • Penetration Application: Safi ng insulation should be cut slightly larger than the opening and compression fi tted into the opening, leaving no voids.
  • Construction Joint Application: Safi ng insulation should be compression fi tted into the joint opening, leaving no voids.
