Where are Intumescent Putty Pads Fitted?

Intumescent putty pads are fitted inside electrical socket boxes and once they are activated by heat the putty pads expand and create a seal preventing fire and smoke from escaping through otherwise fire-rated material.

 

 

Why are Intumescent Putty Pads Essential?

Pre-existing sockets fitted into plasterboard can compromise its fire protection integrity in the event of a fire – so intumescent putty pads help maintain the fire protection integrity of the plasterboard. Intumescent putty pads also have acoustic properties by decreasing noise transfer.
