Fire Rated Pillow and Cable Tray Range

Fire pillows, also known as in tumescent pillows, expand and swell when exposed to heat, thus creating a barrier which stops the spread of fire. They’re filled with intumescent additives and organic fillers within a reinforced waterproof glass cloth bag.

- Mineral Fibres
- Non-Combustible Agents
- Intumescent material
- Other fire-retardant additive

When operating temperatures are reached in a fire the contents of the FPC Intumescent Pillow stick together and start to expand so closing the small gaps and crevices around the penetration, until they harden to form a smoke and flame tight mass.

Our FPC fire pillows can be installed by the owner – simply place the pillows into position filling the gap or aperture that needs protecting. If you are placing fire pillows for floor penetrations, then lay the pillows on a 50mm square steel mesh tray and overlap the pillows at the edges, and proceed to cover them with a further framework of steel. The mesh tray will need to be fixed to the main floor using non-combustible fixings.
