Installation Guide:
Preparation:
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants.
Use a wire brush or similar tool to remove any loose material from the surface.
Cutting the Cartridge:
Cut the tip of the cartridge nozzle to the desired bead size.
Puncture the inner seal of the cartridge to allow the sealant to flow.
Application:
Place the cartridge into a caulking gun.
Apply the NOFIRNO/CER Sealant evenly around the cables, pipes, or other penetrations.
Ensure the sealant fills all gaps and voids to create a continuous fire barrier.
For larger gaps, consider using NOFIRNO/CER filler sleeves in conjunction with the sealant.
Smoothing:
Use a spatula or similar tool to smooth the surface of the sealant.
Ensure the sealant is evenly distributed and forms a tight seal around the penetration.
Curing:
Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Curing time may vary depending on temperature and humidity conditions.
Inspection:
Inspect the installation to ensure there are no gaps or voids in the sealant.
Verify that the sealant has formed a continuous and robust fire barrier.
Safety Precautions:
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses.
Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing.
Follow all safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
