5" Thick Insulation Foam Pink

Product Information

With no evidence of the installer or products used it is un-likely that any Foam can be warranted by anyone and should be removed and replaced. In some cases these cookies can improve the speed with which we can process your request as they allow us to remember site preferences that you’ve selected. Pink anti-static foam’s unique properties allow the foam to slowly dissipate electro-static charges that are potentially created by adjacent components, the component itself or even human handlers during the transit process.

It is important to note that it should only be used to fill small linear gaps, gaps between a door frame and wall and small holes in fire walls. Fire rated foam is usually pink in colour, to identify it as different from other types of expanding foam which don’t have the non-combustible qualities. Suitable for computer chips, circuit boards and various other static sensitive devices, pink anti-static foam inserts are extremely cost effective, assisting in reducing damage costs.

Fire rated foam works by expanding once released from the tube, filling up the gap or penetration, and leaving no gaps for fire and smoke to pass through. It is the responsibility of the installer and individual responsible for the property to ensure that the product selected is suitable for its intended purpose. Fire rated foam is not suitable for use around pipe and cables as it doesn’t intumesce or expand in extreme heat so the services would burn away and leave a void and thus breach the fire compartment. Pink Foams especially should be avoided as there is no way after the installation to identify the manufacturer or product used. Installing inadequate polyurethane pink foam can result in smoke and fire entering apartments, corridors and any other compartment therefore leading to injury or even death.

PU foam products must have their fire performance determined by testing to standards BS 476 Part 20/22 and BS EN 1366-4 for linear gaps and BS EN 1366-3 for service penetration seals. Pink anti-static foam inserts boast a wealth of beneficial features, including high levels of ESD protection for any static sensitive device. One end of the microscopic anti-static molecule protrudes from the material edge and draws in moisture from the ambient air to allow a conductive path for current to pass through. A common mistake is for fire rated foam to be used in situations where intumescent sealant is better suited.

Normally expelled from pressurised cans as a sticky liquid, which quickly expands to around 40 times its original volume to form rigid foam, PU foam is designed to fill small linear gaps or service penetrations. There are life safety implications – use the foam correctly and in the right situations to achieve conformity with the Building Regulations. Nullifire FF197 foam is also well known in the industry and can be used in fire door and concrete applications. Evolutions Fire strive to use third-party accredited materials tested for the configurations th ey are going to be installed into.
