What's special about this caulk?
3M™ Fire Barrier CP 25WB+ Caulk is a premium elastomeric latex caulk designed for use as a one-part fire, smoke, noxious gas and water sealant. In addition, the unique intumescent property of this material (expands when heated) means that as cable or pipe insulation is consumed by fire, CP 25WB+ Caulk expands to maintain the penetration seal. |
- Halogen-free
- Fast dry : Tack-free in approximately 10-15 minutes
- Paintable (Best results obtained after 72 hour cure)
- Minimal shrinkage
- Brown color
- Water seal: Seals against inadvertent water spills in the unexpanded state
- High caulk rate: 1000 g/min. with in. nozzle
- Point contact allowed
- Continuous Operating Temperature not to exceed 120°F (48°C)
- Made in the USA
CP 25WB+ Caulk features superior adhesion strength, caulk rate and no sag application with expanded UL Classified fire protection systems plus a halogen-free formula.
3M Fire Barrier CP 25WB+ Caulk can be installed with a standard caulking gun, pneumatic pumping equipment or it can be easily applied with a putty knife or trowel. CP 25WB+ Caulk will bond to concrete, metals, wood, plastic and cable jacketing. No mixing is required.
