🔥 Intumescent materials: small details, critical protection.

When exposed to heat, intumescent materials expand and form a protective char.

Within a tested firestopping system, this expansion helps close gaps around services and maintain the fire resistance of the wall or floor.

But the material is only part of the solution ❗

Performance depends on the complete tested system - including the wall or floor, the services passing through it, the opening size and the installation details.

Understanding how intumescent materials work, and where they can be used, helps engineers, specifiers and installers select and install firestopping systems with confidence.

FIRESTOP Duct Hatch 🔥

Fire-rated access. One hatch.



Some duct access arrangements require a fire-rated hatch plus a separate cover hatch.

The FIRESTOP Duct Hatch combines both functions, providing:

✅ Fewer components

✅ Simpler installation

✅ Potential cost savings



A recent quotation for approximately 12 duct access hatches highlighted potential savings of $4,000–$6,000 by using the FIRESTOP Duct Hatch and removing the need for separate cover hatches.



The FIRESTOP Duct Hatch provides access to fire-rated ductwork while maintaining the fire performance of the tested system.



One hatch ❗ Simpler access ‼️

FIRESTOP HK-100 Intumescent Insert 🔥

A simple, innovative solution for cable pe*******ons

The feedback we received about FIRESTOP Intumescent Insert at Fire NZ 2026 was clear:

“Quick and easy to install.”

“Compliant.”

“The market has been needing it for a while.”

“Innovative.”

“A great solution for cables.”

And we couldn’t agree more ❗

Many sealant-based cable pe*******ons get compromised when electricians need to move cables during the installation of surface-mounted lights, card readers and similar fittings.

FIRESTOP HK-100 lets you move cables without damaging the installed firestopping, helping maintain the integrity of the firestopping system.

By choosing FIRESTOP HK-100 Intumescent Insert, you choose a simpler way to cable firestopping.
