Bostik Fire Protection Brochure

Passive fire resistant products are the primary means, used in the construction of a building, of limiting the spread of flames, heat and smoke and hugely increasing fire safety. By correct application of these products the basic, legal compartmentalisation requirements will be met. These products contribute to the structural stability of a building and provide time for people to get out of a building safely and gives emergency services time to act and fight the fire. Passive fire resistance limits the spread of flames and smoke and thus the transfer and flashover of fire between compartments.
