This specially created water-based and fire resistant adhesive with an approximate pH 11 is supplied in 17 kg plastic tubs and 300ml cartridges. It has been specially developed for fixing Rockwool fire protection systems as well as other suitable Rockwool products where a high quality, fire resistant adhesive is required.

Demonstrating its durability, the Firepro Glue is able to withstand a wide range of application temperatures. For example frost exposure does not remove the products curing ability and has been tested when applied to surfaces with temperatures of -10°C or rising.

The setting times of glue in moist air conditions is approximately 6-8 hours if the temperature is above freezing point, or in approximately 1 hour at 20°C. Firepro Glue in tubs must always be stirred before use to ensure a uniform product consistency. It is then easily applied using a pallet knife or trowel before pressing surfaces together. The application for the Firepro Glue cartridge is made using a sealant gun and spread evenly over the surface with a spatula or flat bladed tool.

Application Notes

• See product data sheet and installation guide for detailed application instructions
• Application of glue from tub is typically made by a pallet knife or trowel before pressing surfaces together. The product must always be stirred before use to ensure a uniform product consistency
• Application of glue from cartridge is made using a sealant gun and spread evenly over the surface with a spatula or similarly flat bladed tool
• Fixing boards together is supplemented by nails, pins or staples through noggin board joints and board joints
• Whilst steel surfaces may be acceptable when just moist to the touch, heavy water droplets, grease, scale oxide, dust etc should be removed prior to application
• Testing has shown that even if glued joints are immediately subjected to heavy frost exposure, the final glued joint strength is not threatened, but curing is retarded
• Glue fixed noggins must be allowed to set fully before any attempt is made to fix cover boards
• May be used to attach cover boards onto cured noggins (and in glued board joints), provided that a 24 hour interval is acceptable before further trades work on such protected steelwork
• Exhaustive testing has been made under various application conditions. All noggins fitted into steelwork should be cut to provide an interference friction fit of approximately 0.5mm. Excessive oversizing causing the noggins to bend should be avoided
• Noggins should be installed so as to be just proud of the flange tips. For web depths greater than 500mm ‘solid’ noggins or ‘T’ noggins Rockwool Beamclad must be used
• A nominal 0.5mm interference fit is recommended for all ambient conditions, but particularly for winter working. All noggin edges in contact with steelwork must be glued
