AGC provides fire sealant services in Saudi Arabia for commercial buildings, industrial facilities and infrastructure projects. Fire-rated sealants are an important part of passive fire protection because they help seal gaps and openings in fire-resistance-rated walls and floors, limiting the passage of fire and smoke when installed as part of a suitable tested system.
Our fire sealing work can include cable and pipe penetrations, service openings, construction joints and movement joints. The appropriate sealant and installation method depend on the opening, the materials being penetrated, the required fire-resistance rating and the tested system specified for the project.
If you are looking for fire sealant in Saudi Arabia, contact AGC to discuss your drawings, site requirements and project scope. We can review the information provided and help identify the relevant fire-rated sealing solution for your application.
What Is Fire Sealant?
Fire sealant is a fire-resistant material used to seal specified gaps, joints and service penetrations in fire-rated construction. Depending on the tested system, it helps maintain the fire-resistance performance of a wall or floor assembly by restricting the passage of flames and smoke. Sealant type, joint dimensions, backing material and installation depth should follow the applicable system details.
Fire sealants may be specified for applications such as:
- Electrical cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- HVAC openings
- Wall and floor joints
- Expansion joints
- Structural gaps and openings
AGC supports fire compartmentation work in Saudi Arabia by helping project teams address the sealing of service openings and joints. The final installation should match the approved project specification and the applicable tested firestop system.
Our Fire Sealant Services in Saudi Arabia
Firestop Sealant Application
Firestop sealant is applied to specified openings and gaps where a tested firestop system calls for a sealant-based solution. Selection depends on the substrate, opening size, service type and required fire rating.
Penetration Sealing
Penetration sealing addresses openings around cables, cable trays, conduits, pipes and other building services passing through fire-rated walls or floors. Each opening should be sealed using a system suitable for the services and construction involved.
Fire-Rated Joint Sealing
Fire-rated joint systems are selected for specified joints between building elements. Joint width, expected movement, backing materials and fire-resistance requirements should be considered before installation.
Intumescent Fire Sealant
Intumescent sealants expand when exposed to heat and are used in particular tested firestop systems. Their suitability depends on the penetration or joint detail and the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Cable and Pipe Fire Sealing
Cable and pipe openings require a compatible firestop detail that accounts for the type of service, opening dimensions and wall or floor construction. AGC can review project requirements for the relevant fire sealing scope.
Passive Fire Protection Systems
Fire sealant forms one part of a wider passive fire protection strategy. Correct installation helps maintain compartmentation when used within the specified fire-rated assembly.
Benefits of Correct Fire Sealant Installation
Prevents Fire Spread
A correctly specified and installed fire sealant system helps restrict the passage of fire and smoke through designated openings and joints.
Improves Building Safety
Maintaining fire compartmentation can support the overall fire-safety design of a building and help protect escape routes and adjacent spaces.
Compliance with Fire Standards
The selected system should meet the project specification and applicable local requirements; product and installation documentation should be checked by the responsible project team.
Durable & Long Lasting
Durability depends on selecting a system suitable for the application and following the specified preparation, installation and maintenance requirements.
Protects Critical Infrastructure
Fire sealing around service penetrations helps maintain the intended fire separation around electrical, mechanical and other building services.
