Description
CM Pyrostop Sealant is a one component, ready to use silicone elastomer intended to produce fire-stop sealing and bonding seals. An integral part of the FIRESTOP System of passive fire rated products.
CM Pyrostop has also been sound tested and has a 55Dba rating.
Properties
CM Pyrostop Sealant withstands fire for 4 hours when used in seals with a width of up to 50mm (curtain wall or floor). It remains neutral to construction materials, including porous surfaces. It is an elastomer with an average modulus of elasticity which therefore, subjects bonding surfaces to low stresses and gives longer life to sealing joints. Processing and smoothing of seals is made easier due to the sealant’s outstanding rheological characteristics.
CM Pyrostop Sealant can be used on clear glass, metals, wood, PVC, cellular concrete, granite, etc. CM Pyrostop Sealant, once cured, withstands diluted bases and salt mist, together with the temporary action of common solvents and hydrocarbons with, for the latter, slight swelling of the sealant during exposure.
As opposed to this, its characteristics can be modified by acids or chemical oxidising agents. Its mechanical and adhesion properties are not affected by the sun’s rays, snow, rain, ozone and allow it to provide its functions over many years.
Applications
CM Pyrostop Sealant is especially suited to producing fire stop seals and sealing and bonding in construction and glazing applications, notably for:
- Heavy construction and traditional masonry.
- Curtain walls, panels and facades, metal and PVC joinery.
- Wood burning fires and stoves
- Air ducts, cable or piping passages.
- Terrace or fireplace seals.
- Elastic seal in glazing, on aluminium, wood, PVC, etc.

Directions for use
Joint Preperation:
Surfaces to be sealed must be clean, dry and free from dust, oil, grease, old sealant and any traces of contaminant which may affect adhesion. Surfaces should be degreased with solvent using a clean cloth and the two cloth method.
Sealant Application
Apply at temperatures between +5ºC and +40ºC. A sample test on chosen substrate is recommended prior to application. Check gap widths conform to specification. A joint width:depth ratio of 2:1 is recommended. Insert a backing material to control depth of sealant to the recommended width ratio. Tool within 10 minutes of application.
Limitations of use
CM Pyrostop Sealant must NOT be used in contact with materials likely to exude certain components over time.
CM Pyrostop Sealant must NOT be used for structural glazing applications CM Pyrostop Sealant must NOT be used for food contact applications.
Colours
