Passive Fire Product and New Testing Updates

Allproof has published two years’ worth of new passive fire tests for plumbing and electrical services in the online technical manuals. This substantial update has introduced new products to complement Allproof’s existing range. These include a 200 mm Fire Collar for large plumbing pipe systems, and 50 mm and 100 mm Fire Plates tested to cover large voids in floor slabs, used in conjunction with 50 mm and 100 mm Fire Collars for FWG positions in floor slabs.

Additionally, a newly designed multi-service transit box, constructed from stainless steel and called the Wallthrough, caters to multi-service entry points into hotel rooms or apartments at the fire-rated corridor wall. Allproof has recently undertaken an acoustics test on the Wallthrough so that performance can be assessed by an acoustics engineering team when adopting the solution for a project.

These products utilise Allproof’s advanced intumescent formulation, which provides a fast-activating penetration closure for various systems and services. The new testing encompasses these devices as well as plumbing and electrical services using other Allproof collar types such as ALLFC, DIFC, and CIFC, on the following substrates: concrete floor slabs, CLT floors and walls, plasterboard walls and ceilings, and composite floors.

Continued research and development, as well as improvements to fire test results through design and installation changes, keep Allproof Industries at the forefront of New Zealand passive fire product development and testing.
