AS65
Flex 310 M FireSeal
AS65 Flex 310 M FireSeal is a permanently elastic adhesive and sealant based on SMP (silane-modified polymer) with a fire resistance up to 120 minutes. Tested and classified for all joint structures according to EN 1366-4.
The paint-compatible sealant with very low volume shrinkage meets the highest demands in terms of fire protection, such as the requirements of the International Maritime Organisation IMO FTPC Parts 2+5. The very low emissions allow safe indoor application. Therefore, it is a perfect solution to the marine and offshore sectors, where low flammability quality is required.
AS65 FireSeal is approved for use as adhesive with low flame spread characteristics, not generating excessive quantities of smoke, nor toxic products in fire.
Fields of application
FireSeal adheres very well even to powder-coated, painted, galvanised, anodised, chromated and hot-dip galvanised surfaces. It is suitable for use on metal, plastics, concrete and wood.
It can be used in many application areas. It is suitable for fire barriers and covers, for joints in non-structural components with fire resistance requirements, for connection joints and for sealing cable ducts, pipe openings and housings.
Flex 310 M FireSeal can also be used in other industrial areas, such as vehicle and body construction, container construction, apparatus and fittings construction, the energy and electrical industries, insulation technology and plastics technology.

Installation instructions
Surface pre-treatment
Surfaces must be clean and free of grease, dust and dirt. Mechanical surface pre-treatment e.g. by grinding or sanding can also improve the adhesion considerably.
Processing
Use Cartridge gun for 310 ml cartridges, compressed air gun or automatic dosing systems. In order to guarantee an ideal wetting, the bonding parts/ layers need to be joined, before the adhesive skins over (skin-over time 12 min).
Maintenance and storing
When unopened and stored in normal climate (+23°C and 50% rel. air humidity), FireSeal sealants have a shelf life of 18 months.
