Key Features & Benefits

Fire-Rated Protection (BS476(20) 4-Hour Fire Rating)

One of the most important features of the Soudal Soudafoam FR Handheld 1K Pink 750ml Can is its impressive 4-hour fire rating, as per BS476(20). This certification means the foam has been rigorously tested and proven to provide up to 4 hours of fire resistance, depending on the configuration in which it is used. This makes it an ideal solution for applications requiring fireproofing, such as sealing gaps and joints around fire barriers, pipe penetrations, and electrical installations.

Tested According to EN 1366-4

The foam has been tested according to EN 1366-4, a European standard for fire resistance in building materials. This testing ensures that the foam can withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire, offering an additional layer of protection for both residential and commercial buildings. The certification makes it suitable for use in environments where safety is critical, such as industrial buildings, high-rise apartments, and commercial spaces.

Rapid Curing and Easy Application

This 1K (single-component) foam is designed for rapid curing, allowing for quick and efficient application. Once applied, the foam begins to cure quickly, reducing wait times and enabling workers to move on to the next steps in construction or renovation projects. The foam is easy to apply directly from the can, and its formulation provides good adhesion and a smooth finish.

High Performance in a Handheld Can

The 750ml handheld can is designed for ease of use and convenience. It allows for precise application of foam in tight spaces and is perfect for smaller sealing and insulation jobs. Whether you’re working on smaller repairs or installations, the ergonomic design and ease of use ensure that you can apply the foam efficiently without the need for additional equipment.

Reliable Insulation and Sealing

Beyond fire protection, Soudal Soudafoam FR provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. It is ideal for sealing gaps, joints, and cracks in both interior and exterior applications. The foam expands after application, filling gaps effectively and ensuring a tight seal that prevents drafts, water, and noise from entering the sealed area. This makes it an excellent choice for improving energy efficiency and enhancing the comfort of living spaces.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Once fully cured, the foam creates a durable, permanent seal that remains stable over time. The foam will not shrink or settle, ensuring that the seal remains intact for the long term, providing ongoing protection against fire, moisture, and drafts.

Common Applications

The Soudal Soudafoam FR Handheld 1K Pink 750ml Can is designed for use in a wide range of applications where fire resistance, insulation, and sealing are required:

• Sealing Gaps and Joints Around Fire Barriers: Perfect for fireproofing gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent the spread of flames.

• Sealing Around Pipes and Electrical Installations: Ideal for use around pipes, cables, and electrical wiring, where maintaining a fire-resistant seal is critical.
