3M Fire Barrier Devices

Fire barrier devices offer an effective one-piece solution for the firestopping of penetrating items through rated walls and floors. During a fire, these devices expand to form a seal, which helps protect against the spread of fire, smoke and toxic gases. 3M offers pass-through options for walls and floors, as well as cast-in place options for poured concrete floors.

3M Fire Barrier Packing Material

This light-weight packing material is approved for use in all 3M’s UL listed through-penetration firestop systems. The 20’ roll is convenient to transport and features quick and easy hand-tear dispensing. 3M Fire Barrier Packing Material is ideal for use around metallic, nonmetallic, insulated pipe, HVAC and power and communication cable penetrants – a long-awaited alternative to mineral wool, fiberglass or backer rod. The Material PM 4 is approved to use in up to four hour firestop systems.

3M Fire Barrier Specialty Products

From wrap strips and restricting collars to 3M Fire Barrier Mortar, these code approved, UL listed products help round out 3M’s comprehensive offering of through-penetration firestops. Additionally, 3M offers a residential fire block designed to resist high temperatures and helps prevent smoke passage in non-related residential and combustible construction.
