Questions and Answers:

FAQs?

1. How does Geocel Acoustic FR Sealant help in improving fire safety in buildings?
The sealant is designed to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through structural joints and service penetrations. When applied correctly, it acts as a fire barrier by sealing gaps and cracks that can otherwise allow fire and smoke to travel between compartments in a building. This sealant has been tested and certified to provide up to four hours of fire resistance, making it a crucial component for passive fire protection systems. By enhancing fire compartmentation, it helps delay the spread of fire, giving occupants more time to evacuate and reducing potential damage.

2. How effective is this sealant in reducing noise transmission between rooms or areas?
Geocel Acoustic FR sealant is specifically formulated to block airborne sound by sealing gaps and joints that can allow sound waves to pass through. Openings around windows, doors, and service penetrations are common pathways for noise transmission, which can significantly reduce the effectiveness of soundproofing in a building. By creating an airtight seal, this product minimises noise leakage, helping maintain quieter spaces in both residential and commercial environments. It is ideal for partition walls, office spaces, schools, and hospitals where sound control is a priority.

3. What surfaces are best suited for Geocel Acoustic FR Sealant, and how should they be prepared?
This sealant is compatible with various construction materials, including concrete, plasterboard, brick, stone, and metal. For optimal adhesion and performance, the surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and old sealant residues. Surface preparation may involve cleaning with an appropriate solvent or wiping down with a damp cloth to remove debris. In cases where surfaces are porous, applying a primer may help improve adhesion. Ensuring proper preparation allows the sealant to bond securely, reducing the risk of premature failure.

4. Can Acoustic FR be painted over, and what type of paint is recommended?
Yes, once fully cured, Geocel Acoustic FR sealant can be painted to match the surrounding surfaces. It is recommended to use a high-quality, water-based paint for best results. Before applying other paint types, ensure the sealant has completely cured to prevent issues such as cracking or uneven coverage. For optimal adhesion, lightly sanding the cured sealant may help create a better surface for the paint to adhere to. Always test the paint on a small area first to check for compatibility and desired finish.
