Trim-Tex® FIRE GASKET is a fire rated composite vinyl intumescent accessory that provides fire-ratings for both dynamic and static joints with both concrete and fluted deck assemblies according to UL-2079 5th edition, providing 1 and 2 hour fire-ratings, and an L-rating of less than 1 CFM, and is sound tested according to ASTM E90. Fire Gasket is available in 1” & 1.5″ to provide unencumbered movement.
Fire Gasket is fastened using the factory-applied adhesive foam tape. It features a 3/8″ hollow bubble gasket on the upper corner that is easily compressed to seal against uneven concrete or fluted decks. Once properly installed, Fire Gasket provides an unbreakable seal to provide long term fire, smoke and sound protection. Fire Gasket is very durable and is not easily damaged; once installed it will not delaminate, it will not take in water, and it will not shrink or harden over time.
