Nullifire, a leader in passive fire protection innovation, proudly unveils FZ400 – a cutting-edge fire stopping product designed to accommodate movement, while maintaining the integrity of compartmentation.
Powered by patented GXT Technology, FZ400 provides the necessary continual relief of fatigue on fire stopping seals under deflection stress and protects service penetration seals with outstanding fire performance and movement-resilience.
The FZ400 has been rigorously tested to EN 1366-3/4, achieving up to 2 hours fire rating after undergoing cyclic movement, proving its effectiveness in real-world scenarios where structural movement is inevitable.
Using Nullifire’s pioneering ‘Movement Test,’ developed with the support of Warrington Fire, the FZ400 was subjected to a groundbreaking procedure that replicates ceiling deflection. A wall was moved up and down by 30mm more than 50 times over a 2-hour period, then placed in a furnace to assess performance post-movement.
FZ400 is a graphite impregnated open cell foam with a highly expansive char when exposed to heat. The water resistant film provides a cold smoke seal. This provides both flexibility and excellent fire stopping properties. flexibility and excellent fire stopping properties.
The results were outstanding:
- No ripping, cracking, or fibre migration
- Maintained a secure, air-tight fire seal
- Up to 2 hours of fire resistance maintained
The FZ400 properties are
