How To use Firesilicone B1 FR, fire rated silicone sealant?
Take care to follow the standard industrial hygiene methods for applying sealants. Make sure to clean the surface and remove all traces of dust and grease.
If the sealant is applied to porous substances, Primer 150 should be used to prime the surface. It is recommended that a preliminary compatibility test be conducted before you proceed.
To enhance the adhesion properties on smooth surfaces, we advise you to use Soudal Surface Activator.
Use a caulking gun as the method of delivery for maximum impact.
As for backing material, we suggest the use of PE backer rods for correct joint dimensions.
Take care that during the application, the atmospheric temperature does not exceed room temperature conditions.
After application, clean the caulking gun with white spirit immediately. If the sealant cures, then it has to be mechanically removed by chipping it off.
Finish the applied sealant properly by using a soapy solution.
