Product description
FB750 Intubatt is a lightweight fire barrier comprising of a rock mineral fibre board with an uniquely identifiable ablative coating, containing OptifireTM unique traceability identifier. FB750 is designed to reinstate the fire performance of compartment walls and floors which have been breached by penetrating services, providing a fire, smoke, thermal, acoustic and air pressure seal.
FB750 must be used in conjunction with FS702 Intumastic to be suitable for sealing around the following service types: non-combustible pipes, cable trays, ladders and baskets (perforated or non-perforated), armoured cables, data cables, HV cables, cable bundles up to 100 mm.
FB750 can be used on flexible walls & rigid walls (90 mm or wider), rigid floors (150 mm or wider), beneath raised access floors / suspended floors and ceiling voids, as a continuation of the fire compartment.
When used with a Nullifire closer device (FS709 HP, FP302 Intustrap, FP220 Service Sleeve, FP170 Intucollar), FB750 Intubatt also becomes suitable for penetrating combustible services & conduits such as PVC, PE, PP, HDPE, PPR, PEX, Uponor and combustible ducting.
FB750 has also been tested to fire protect the underside of loaded timber floors for up to 120 minutes (BS 476 Pt 21). Typical areas of use include: health and leisure facilities, schools, universities, commercial buildings, hospitals, retail and industrial units and nuclear power plants.
Interpretation
The module of raw material extraction and processing (A1) was the main driver of most environmental impacts and resource use indicators, with particular influence of the upstream manufacture of the uncoated mineral wool batt. Manufacturing related impacts (A3) are important with regard to water depletion and toxicity impact categories. This means, for example, that interventions regarding the sustainable procurement of raw materials, in particular the procurement of the uncoated batt, will have the most impact regarding climate change and non-renewable energy consumption indicators. On the other hand, significant improvements on toxicity impacts can be better achieved by intervention on the manufacturing process itself. Finally, the end-of-life phase has also a noticeable influence on climate change, eutrophication, and ecotoxicity indicators.
LCIA results are relative expressions and do not predict impacts on category endpoints, the exceeding of thresholds, safety margins or risks. EPDs are comparable only when they follow the same PCR, functional unit and system boundary. The full EPD (PDF) contains the methodology, scenario assumptions and verification statement.
