Intumescent, Airtight, Watertight, and Resilient Sealing Foam
Saint-Gobain® Norseal® FS1000 Series is a specialized, high-performance foam tape engineered for advanced sealing applications. This tape is both expandable and fire-resistant, making it effective at blocking smoke, air, and water. In its natural state, FS1000 is soft, conformable, and easily adheres to complex surfaces.
Key Features:
- Expandable and Fire-Resistant: When exposed to temperatures exceeding 200°C, FS1000 expands, forming a fire-resistant char that effectively blocks fire, smoke, and hot gases.
- Airtight Sealing: When compressed by 30%, FS1000 provides an airtight seal capable of withstanding pressures up to 1000 Pa, depending on the application surface.
- Watertight Protection: FS1000 maintains watertight integrity when compressed by 30%.
- Compressibility and Resilience: The material can be easily compressed and returns to its original thickness after compression, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Vibration Damping: FS1000’s resilience allows it to effectively dampen vibrations and decouple connected components.
- Conformability: Its softness enables FS1000 to conform to uneven or irregular surfaces.
- Ease of Installation: Available in various thicknesses, FS1000 can be supplied with or without adhesive backing, facilitating easy installation.
- Environmentally Friendly: FS1000 contains no halogen compounds and emits no toxic gases when heated. Additionally, it does not produce dust during installation, ensuring a safe environment for workers and others nearby.
Typical Applications:
- Construction: Ideal for sealing joints in walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, HVAC systems, and other critical areas where fire compartmentalization is essential.
- Automotive: Provides protection for fuel tanks, battery packs in electric and hybrid vehicles, and other sensitive components.
- Aerospace: Suitable for use in seats, cargo compartments, and other crucial areas requiring fire protection.
