Safire® Intumescent Fire Strip is a soft, extruded linear gap seal for use in conjunction with soffit head details or other situations where a small gap requires fire sealing. When exposed to flames and heat, Safire® Fire Strip undergoes controlled expansion or intumescence, reacting to form a carbonised foam. This char resists the passage of smoke and flames and helps to insulate the metal channel beneath.
