Protecta FR IPT 4hr Fire Rated One Part Sealant & Adhesive

General Product Details

Protecta® FR IPT is a high performance, professional quality, one part ready to use sealant and adhesive. Based on an innovative new Inert Polymer Technology it is suitable for a wide variety of building trade applications including decorating, flooring, joinery, plumbing and tiling and out-performs conventional silicone, MSP, butyl and acrylic based products as a sealant and adhesive – the only sealant free from dangerous emissions.
Protecta® FR IPT is designed for sealing joints, voids/irregular holes in walls, partitions and other structures, resulting in an airtight and watertight seal. IPT is a non-reactive environmentally friendly chemistry that ensures compatibility with most building materials and has the unique property of moving dynamically to accommodate the natural or unexpected movements of sealed/bonded joints within a building, for long-lasting performance.
Protecta® FR IPT eliminates the selection choices that need to be made with conventional sealants and adhesives. Choosing a product for a building application can be confusing especially as there are a wide number of products available and within those products a variety of grades, with variations in properties to suit the substrate or application.
Protecta® FR IPT overcomes this by offering the tradesman one solution for all internal building applications.
