FIREX FM 71
Upto 4 Hour Rated Stop Mortar
India’s Only CSIR-CBRI Roorkee – Developed, Tested & Certified Firestop Mortar

Description

Firex FM 71 Mortar is a water based inorganic, expanding type, heat absorbing firestop mortar
designed to seal cable & pipe penetrations through walls,
floors & ceilings and provide for up to 4 hours firestop
protection, in walls and floors around service penetrations –
with the technology being uniquely, developed, tested &
certified by M/s CSIR-CBRI Roorkee.

M/s CSIR-CBRI Roorkee, has in-house developed this new

" state of the art " technology firestop mortar, considering what
could be the optimum technology for mortar firestop barriers,
based on all their years of experience of testing, both Indian
and imported firestop mortars, as well as of course their well
established R&D strengths and thus it can safely be said that
this CBRI developed firestop mortar is amongst the most advanced firestop mortar's today
available in the world and not just in India.

Fire Rated Mortar Features:

• 2 & 4 hour rating Firestop
Barriers.
• Non Combustible.
• Unique Expanding type. Non
Shrinking technology. Warranted
seal against smoke, gas leakage
etc under fire conditions.
• Superior thermal barrier. Best in
class >1000°C. Excellent thermal
shock resistance-The properties
remain unaltered in extreme
temperatures.

• Easy to install. Both pourable and pumpable during pot life.

• Suitable for both large & small openings.
• Enables “Retrofitting”. Modifiable with retrofit design facility, where cables can be easily
inserted or replaced without impairing its fire performance.
• Water resistant (for prolonged water immersion overcoat with CIC 4767 - 2-4 coats).
• Completely resistant to moisture, humidity and chemicals. It remain unaffected by oil
/lubrication spillage and is resistant to corrosive gases in the atmosphere.
• Asbestos free.
• All its constituents are odourless, non hazardous and non toxic.
• Does not contain any volatile solvents, is non-combustible and free from fire hazards during
application.
• Does not affect current carrying capacity of the cables.
• Resistant to termite and is anti-rodent.

Firex FM 71 Mortar is a fire rated load bearing system providing up to 4 hours fire protection to
compartment walls and floors around service penetrations.

When mixed with water it can be poured or

trowelled into service penetration openings
preventing the passage of flame, smoke and toxic
gases for periods of up to 4 hours.

Shutter (plywood or dense mineral wool board).

Secondary reinforcement where necessary.

Thickness dependent upon fire resistance and load

bearing capability.

INSTALLATION
Horizontal Seals (load bearing in concrete floors)

 Form a temporary (or permanent) shutter to the underside of the floor.

 The correct amount of Firex FM 71 Mortar is then mixed by hand or power mixer and cast
into the aperture.
 This is them tamped down, also ensuring that there are no gaps left behind penetrations.
 If a temporary shuttering has been used, this is then removed.

Vertical Seals
 Form a temporary (or permanent) shutter to
one face of the aperture.
 The correct amount of Firex FM 71 Mortar is
then mixed by hand or power mixer.
 The remaining face of shuttering will be
installed in stages. This will allow the
compound to be poured or plastered into
place and enable tamping/consolidation of
the material.
 The curing time of the compound may vary
between 25 minutes to 1 hour depending on
the water content and ambient temperature.
 If temporary shuttering has been used this is removed when compound is dry.
 Note: For plastic pipe penetrations, see horizontal seals.

Installation Methods

1. Ensure all service penetrations are complete and installed to the manufacturers
recommendations.
2. Remove dust and debris by brushing out the opening and Typical Installations
surrounding area. Metallic Pipe Through Concrete Floor

3. Friction fit 2” thick mineral fiber batt shutter within the

thickness of the floor. To ensure a good seal, Firex FM 71
Intumescent Acrylic Mastic can be applied to all joints in
the mineral fiber. A temporary timber shutter can be used
in place of the permanent mineral fiber, but this should be
removed once the seal is cured.
4. Pour clean potable water into a suitable mixing vessel and
add sufficient dry Firex FM 71 Mortar to achieve the
required consistency, stirring the slurry to remove all lumps.
