Product information

FrameFit are very pleased to announce that we have teamed up with FlexiFire, as part of the FrameFit brand, Fire rated Hinge & lock pads are now available. We are excited to work with FlexiFire.

Description

FlexiFire HP is an extruded flexible PVC compound containing

intercalated graphite. Upon heating it creates an intumescent

thermal barrier, ideal for the use in hardware protection.

The material is flexible for ease of application enabling it to

mold to the shape of the hardware. FlexiFire HP is dark

grey/ black in colour.

Application

All ironmongery installed on a fire door must be fitted without

compromising the integrity of the complete fire door

assembly. FlexiFire HP is an ultra-thin, high-performance

intumescent that offers high levels of expansion and

insulation. Flexifire HP has been designed for the following

applications:

• Hinge pads

• Door viewers

• Graphite only seals

Properties

• FlexiFire HP will expand up to 20 times its original volume

• When heated to approximately 180°C graphite located at

the surface begins to exfoliate increasing progressively

as the temperature increases.

• 0.8mm FlexiFire is suitable for 30 & 60 minute

timber applications

• Excellent temperature insulation before and after exfoliation

• Safe to handle and easy to use (no PPE required)

• Completely non-toxic, non-fibrous and dust free

• Self extinguishing binder

• Totally inert

• Unaffected by moisture, humidity, atmospheric pollution

and other common industrial and household chemical

substances.

Thickness

Manufactured in various thicknesses to meet customer

requirements:

• 0.8mm (+0.1/-0.1mm)

• 1.0mm (+0.1/-0.1mm)

• 2.0mm (+0.1/-0.1mm)

Testing

FlexiFire HP has been extensively tested to the latest British

and European standards as follows:

• BS476 part 22: 1987 - 30 and 60 minute rating

• BSEN 1634-1: 2014 - 30, 60, 90 & 120 minute rating

Validation Testing

Every batch of FlexiFire HP manufactured undergoes rigorous

on-site validation testing to ensure it meets the minimum

requirements as described below.

Thickness Testing

All manufactured batches of FlexiFire HP are measured

for thickness using a calibrated vernier.

The reading must not exceed the following tolerances:

• 0.8mm (+0.1/-0.1mm)

• 1.0mm (+0.1/-0.1mm)

• 2.0mm (+0.1/-0.1mm)

Expansion Testing

Two samples of FlexiFire HP will be taken from every batch

produced, enabling both the activation point and expansion

ratio to be measured. The tolerances of the test are set out

below:

Activation Temperature

180° (+/-10°)

Expansion Ratio

>6x Volume
