Tenmat FF102/50: A Key Component in Modern Fire Suppression Systems
Integrating effective fire suppression systems is paramount to ensure safety and compliance in modern construction. Tenmat FF102/50 is a key component in modern fire suppression systems.
What Is the Tenmat FF102/50 Intumescent Rainscreen Fire Block?
The Tenmat FF102/50 is a rigid, high-expansion intumescent strip encased in aluminum foil. Under normal conditions, it maintains open cavities up to 2 inches (50mm), allowing for essential ventilation and moisture dissipation. In the event of a fire, the material rapidly expands, up to 25 times its original thickness, effectively sealing the cavity to prevent the spread of flames and heat.
