Description
Protecta FR IPT 4hr One Part Sealant & Adhesive is a high performance, professional quality, one-part ready-to-use sealant and adhesive, part of the Protecta Firestopping range, providing up to 4 hours fire protection. With a wide number of products available on the market and a variety of grades and variations in properties to suit the substrate or application, Protecta FR IPT offers tradesman one solution for all internal building applications.
NEW - Eco-Foil System
The system works by inserting a 300ml foil into the reusable Eco-Cartridge, which fits into a standard skeleton gun. The cartridge has a double-ended plunger, so once the foil is empty, remove the cap and nozzle and re-fill the opposite end with a new 300ml foil. Simply replace the cap and nozzle at the opposite end, insert into the dedicated foil gun and the system is ready for use!
- One Eco-Cartridge can be reused a minimum of 60 times
- Reduces on-site waste by more than 90%
- The system fits into a standard skeleton gun
- 6 months longer shelf life than the same product in a cartridge
Based on an innovative new Inert Polymer Technology it is suitable for a wide variety of internal building trade applications including:
- Decorating
- Sealing around flooring
- Joinery
- Plumbing
- Tiling
- Internal sealing around doors and windows
- Sealing where air quality for health is important
- Sanitary applications including showers
- Sealing of gaps around fitted furniture and worktops
- Fire resistant sealing
- Radon resistant sealing
- Decorating caulking and sealing
- Air and sound sealing
It out-performs conventional silicone, MSP, butyl and acrylic based products as a sealant and adhesive – the only sealant free from dangerous emissions.
Compatible with a wide range of substrates, such as:
- Brick, concrete, stone, slate, ceramic, marble, granite
- Timber, plywood, block board, chipboard, fibreboard
- uPVC plastic trims and polycarbonate
- Insulating board
- Expanded polystyrene
- Plasterboard and plaster
- Metals, aluminium, steel, lead, copper and alloys
- Painted surfaces
It can be used as an adhesive and has excellent initial grab, quickly developing a high bond strength resulting in a permanent fixing. Easy and economical to apply and ideal for general construction, the sealant remains permanently flexible and is paintable with both alkyd resin and water-based paints. IPT is a non-reactive environmentally friendly chemistry that ensures compatibility with most building materials and has the unique property of moving dynamically to accommodate the natural or unexpected movements of sealed/bonded joints within a building, for long-lasting performance. Surplus uncured material can be easily removed using a damp cloth as the uncured sealant is completely soluble in water.

Installation
- All surfaces must be clean and sound, free from dirt, grease and other contaminants. The surfaces may be damp but not running wet. Use a wet brush to clean surfaces before application to remove loose material and to ensure good contact for adhesion. Primers are not usually required.
- In order to obtain maximum performance as a sealant the depth of the joint should be at least half the width and not less than 6mm. The use of backing material is strongly recommended e.g. polyethylene backer rod or mineral wool.
- Cut nozzle to the desired angle and gun firmly into the joint to give a good solid fill. Strike off the sealant flush with the joint sides within ten minutes of application, before surface skinning occurs. The sealant will have medium shrinkage during cure and if a flush surface it is recommended to leave the sealant proud.
- The sealant can be tooled to a smooth finish using a moist plastic stick or similar within 30 minutes of application. IPT Tooling designed for the optimum finish is recommended instead of soap and water as it forms a film between the stick and the sealant.
- Do not spray the sealant with water or other fluids before skin formation ( <30 min). Uncured sealant is soluble in water prior to skinning due to its environmentally friendly IPT chemistry that uses water instead of solvents.

Sound Insulation
| Description | Sound reduction |
|---|---|
| Single sided seal ≥12mm depth | Rw 62 dB |

Protecta FR IPT has been tested at EXOVA BM Trada (UKAS accredited); according to EN ISO 10140-2:2010.
Usage of any backing material is optional, due to the tests being conducted with sealant only.
Limitations
- Where metals are not compatible with water contact, they should be primed prior to any sealant application.
- The sealant is soluble in water in wet/uncured state and cannot be used submerged or in rain. Applied sealant must not be sprayed with water or other fluids before skin formation ( <30 min).
- The sealant should not be used outdoors due to the design of the curing process technology
- Very narrow seals cure faster than normal. There is a special version of IPT that cures more slowly
