This is to certify that representative samples of the Certified Product listed above have been investigated by Underwriters
Laboratories to the Standard(s) indicated on this Certificate, in accordance with the UL Global Services Agreement and the UL-EU
Mark Service Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”). The Certificate Holder is entitled to use the UL-EU Mark for the Certified Product
Head of Notified Body listed on the certificate and manufactured at the production site(s) listed, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Only
those products bearing the UL-EU Mark for Europe should be considered as being covered by UL’s UL-EU Mark Service. This
Chris Miles Certificate shall remain valid through the Expiration date, unless a Standard identified on this Certificate is amended or withdrawn
prior to that date or there is a non-compliance with the Agreement.
This certificate relates to the use of K-Fire Acrylic for fire stopping where there are joints in or between walls & floors or service
penetrations through floors and walls. The detailed scope is given in pages 3 to 43 of this Certificate. This shows the thickness and
acceptable dimensions, substrates and orientations required to provide fire resistance periods of up to 240 minutes for differing
services and wall/floor constructions.
* K-Fire Acrylic sealant has been tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 8339: 2005 and BS EN ISO 9046: 2004 to demonstrate its
suitability for use in internal conditions with humidity lower than 85 % RH, excluding temperatures below 0°C, without exposure
to rain or UV. These conditions are designated Z2 in EAD 350454-00-1104, September 2017 and EAD 350141-00-1106.
K-Fire Acrylic is a sealant used to form a penetration seal around metallic pipes with and without combustible insulation, plastic
pipes, combustible cable conduits, composite pipes and electrical cables to reinstate the fire resistance performance of wall and
floor constructions, where they have been provided with apertures for the penetration of services. It is also used to form linear gap
seals where gaps are present in wall and floor constructions and linear joint seals where wall and floor constructions abut.
K-Fire Acrylic is supplied in liquid form contained within 310 ml & 380 ml cartridges and 600 ml foil packs. The sealant is
gunned into the aperture in the separating element/elements and around the service or services, to a specified depth utilising a
backing material.
