Fire outbreak can cause damage to lives and structure. It is very difficult to control the spread of fire after its outbreak. However by incorporating a fire stop barrier system one can prevent the spread of fire and give time for the occupants to escape and the fire-fighters to carry their work of stopping the fire spread.

The fire stop barriers are the part of the passive fire protection system of the building and are crucial for maintaining the integrity of fire separated compartments. How does the fire stop barrier system work? Fire stop Barrier system work by sealing off openings and joints in fire-resistance rated walls and floors to prevent the spread of fire, toxic gases and smoke from one compartment of the building to other. The specially designed materials block or resist the fire. Here’s how they work- 1. Seal the penetration: Fire stop systems are used to seal around mechanical and electrical penetrations through fire-rated walls and floors. When the heat from the fire reaches these materials, they react to seal the gap around the penetration. For instance the intumescent paints expand significantly when exposed to high temperature, filling the space and blocking the path of fire and smoke. 2. Respond to high temperature: The fire stop barrier materials remain passive under the normal conditions and expand when exposed to higher temperature. They expand significantly up to 10-20 times their original size, effectively sealing any gaps and preventing fire spread and smoke. The materials swell to fill any gaps, cracks or openings within the barrier and seal off the penetration to block passage of fire and smoke. 3. Maintain fire ratings: Buildings are designed with compartments that have a specific fire resistance rating. It means they can resist fire for a certain time period for instance half an hour or two hours and so on. Fire stop barriers that are installed ensure the compartments retain their integrity by matching or exceeding fire rating of the compartment. This is the significant factor for protecting escape routes and sensitive areas from exposure to fire. 4. Elastomeric and Endothermic fill materials: The fire stop barriers also use elastomeric and endothermic fill materials that help maintain the integrity of the barrier under fire conditions. Elastomeric materials retain their elasticity when exposed to fire while endothermic materials absorb heat, contributing to the effectiveness of the barrier. 5. Thermal and mechanical movement: Fire stop barriers are designed to accommodate thermal expansion and mechanical movement within the building. The fire stop sealants ensure that the gaps do not form between fire –stopped penetrations and the structural elements of the building as it expands, contracts or shifts over time. Fire stop barriers are the passive fire protection system of the building. They ensure that fire, smoke, and heat are contained and do not spread uncontrollably thus safeguarding the structure and its occupants during fire breakout. FAQs 1.What are fire stop barriers? Fire stop barriers are the construction elements that are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke though openings and joints in fire-resistance rated walls and floors. 2. What is the benefit of fire stop barrier system? The fire stop barrier system enhances the safety of the building by preventing the spread of fire and smoke, protecting the structural integrity and providing more time for the occupants to evacuate the building. 3.
