Astroflame Blue 60 Fire Rated Frame Foam is a specially formulated expanding foam that, when used in conjunction with Blue 60 fire rated packers (available from the drop-down menu above), gives up to 60 minutes fire protection to timber doorsets without the use of additional mastics or sealants.

Blue 60 PU Foam is a single component, moisture curing, self-expanding, ready to use polyurethane foam with propellants which are completely harmless to the ozone layer.

It has a fire rating of up to 60 minutes in Timber Doorsets configuration. High quality PU foam recommended for sealing applications where fire resistance is required.

Please note: Astroflame Blue 60 Packers MUST be purchased with each box of Astroflame Blue 60 Fire Rated Frame Foam.
As a guide, the manufacturer states based on a 10mm gap 1 x 750ml can of foam should do 3 doors which would require 33 packers of each size per can. So for a box of 12 x 750ml cans of foam we would expect a requirement of approx. 400 x 1mm (Green), 400 x 3mm (White) and 400 x 5mm (Blue) Packers.

Installation

Please see the attachment "Installation Guide" for more information and illustrations.

• During application the temperature of the can and room should be between 5℃ and 30℃
• Frame/wall surface must be free from dust and grease
• Moistening the surfaces before and after the application will ensure faster curing and increase the bonding strength
• Tested with gaps between 7mm and 30mm
• Where fixing points occur pack securely using Blue60 fire rated packers
• Screw on the applicator gun/nozzle and shake can
• Hold the can upside down and activate the foam by pressing the valve
• IMPORTANT - The junction between the door frame and the substrate should be fully filled with Blue60 fire rated foam
• Architraves can then be fitted over un-cured foam or alternatively foam can be allowed to cure and then be removed mechanically
