PFC Corofil Insulated Fire Sleeves

Application

For insulated pipes it is normally necessary to remove the insulation at point of penetration to enable standard pipe collars to close plastic pipes. Standard pipe insulation will not provide an effective firestop as it will either shrink back, melt or burn, however if this insulation is removed this can result in condensation on cold pipes and loss of thermal performance on hot pipes. PFC Corofil Insulated Fire Sleeves avoids this problem by providing both fire stopping and thermal insulation.

General benefits:

• Labour saving
• Acoustic rated
• No over sleeving required
• Full range of sizes
• Dry system, no need for additional sealants

Fire Rating

PFC Corofil Insulated Fire Sleeves are intended for use on copper, mild steel, polypropylene and PVC pipes. Tested in accordance with BS 476: Part 20: 1987, the sleeves provide up to 2 hours fire protection.

Acoustic

The use of Insulated Fire Sleeves can considerably reduce the noise emission from noisy pipework. For higher standards of acoustic insulation please refer to our technical department. Tested up to a Weighted Sound Reduction Indew (Rw) of 49dB.

Service Temperatures

Insulated Fire Sleeves are used to firestop pipe work operating at temperatures between 0ºC and 180ºC. At low temperatures, care should be taken to maintain the vapour barrier.

Description

PFC Corofil Insulated Fire Sleeves are a unique combination of mineral fibre and graphite intumescent that provide all the benefits of mineral wool’s thermal, noise and fire properties with an added intumescent effect.

Compatibility

PFC Corofil Insulated Fire Sleeves are compatible with most materials with which it is likely to come into contact in normal building and industrial applications. Precautions should be taken when insulating austenitic stainless steel, regardless of insulation type.

Biological

The insulation offers no sustenance to vermin and does not encourage the growth of fungi, moulds or bacteria.
