Lorient Polyproducts, a leading player in fire and smoke sealing systems for door assemblies, has extended its range of flexible intumescent glazing gaskets to include a new size designed specifically to accommodate the latest developments in the thicknesses of fire resistant glass now available.
Designated System-36/7, the new gasket is suitable for use with 7mm to 8mm thick glass, and has been successfully tested at Warrington Fire Research Centre for 30 minutes integrity. Glass types include: Pyrostem, Pyroguard (both clear and wired), Pyrodur Plus and Pyrobelite.
System-36/7 joins the five other sizes in the Lorient System-36 range, which now encompasses gaskets for glass thicknesses from 4mm to 22mm. All System-36 products are resilient U-shaped profiles, designed to easily push-fit into place over the edge of the glass. The gaskets can be used with a range of standard fixing beads, and are flexible enough to be fitted even to circular vision panels. All Lorient System-36 gaskets have attained Certifire approval.
