3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+
3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ is an economical,
onepart, gun-grade, latex-based, intumescent firestop
sealant that dries to form a monolithic firestop seal that
also acts as a barrier to airborne sound transmission.
3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ firestops through
penetrations passing through fire-rated floor, floor/ceiling
or wall assemblies, as well as other fire-rated interior
building partitions and assemblies (e.g. blank openings).
In addition, the unique intumescent property of this
material allows 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ to
expand and help maintain a firestop penetration seal
for integrity (E) against the passage of flame and
insulation (I) against the rise of temperature as services
penetrants are exposed to fire. 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant
IC 15WB+ bonds to most construction substrates,
including: gypsum wallboard, concrete, metals, wood,
plastic (including CPVC) and cable jacketing. No
mixing is required.
Applications
High-performance 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ is
ideal for sealing single or multiple surface penetrations in
fire-rated construction. 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+
is typically used in mechanical, electrical and plumbing
applications to firestop openings created by the following
penetrations in fire-rated floors, floor/ceilings or walls:
metallic pipe, plastic pipe, conduit, power and communication
cable, cable trays, busways, combos, insulated pipe and
HVAC duct penetrations.
23M Fire Protection
3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ is also
used to firestop blank openings. It can be
combined with the other 3M™ products like
the Fire Barrier CS 195+ Composite Sheet,
FS 195+ Wrap/ Strip, Moldable Putty+
and Plastic Pipe Devices as an additional
smoke seal – please refer to the appropriate
European Technical Approval (ETA) and/or
3M™ Technical Data Sheet.

Fire resistanceFire resistance is a combination of Integrity (E) and Insulation (I) The fire resistance is dependent on the wall or floor, the design of the through-penetration, the pipe/ cable going through it and the manner in which the fire barrier product was applied. The table on the right shows, for example, that a metal pipe positioned on the wall has a lower Insulation in consequence than centered installation of the same pipe.
Tests on the basis of EN 1366-3 produced the following results:

Installation TechniquesConsult a 3M Authorized Fire Protection Products Distributor / Dealer or Sales Representative for applicable ETA and 3M™ Design System Sheet for installation techniques.
Preparatory Work The surface of the opening and any penetrating items should be cleaned to allow for the proper adhesion of the 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+. Ensure that the surface of the substrates is not wet and are frost free. Sealant can be installed with a standard caulking gun, pneumatic pumping equipment or it can be easily applied with a putty knife or trowel.
Installation Details Install the applicable depth of backing material (i.e. glass wool) with a minimum density of 140 kg/m³, if required, as detailed within the applicable ETA or with 3M™ Technical Data Sheet. Cut the end of the 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ cartridge dispensing tip to achieve the desired bead width when applying. Install the applicable depth of 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ into the opening flush with the surface of the substrate, or as detailed within the applicable ETA or with 3M™ Technical Data Sheet, at the depth for the assembly and rating that is required. Tool within 5 minutes. Clean all tools immediately after use with water.
Limitations Do not apply 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ when surrounding temperature is less than 0°C and in conditions where seals may be exposed to rain or water spray within 18 hours of application. Do not apply 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ to building materials that bleed oil, plasticizers or solvent (e.g. impregnated wood, oil-based sealants, or green or partially vulcanized rubber). Do not apply 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ to wet or frost-coated surfaces or to areas that are continuously damp or immersed in water.
MaintenanceNo maintenance should be required when installed in accordance with the applicable European Technical Approval and the 3M™ Design System. Once installed, if any section of the 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ is damaged, the following procedure will apply:
•RemoveandreinstallthedamagedsectioninaccordancewiththeapplicableETAorwith3M™ Technical Data Sheet, with a minimum 12.7 mm overlap onto the adjacent material.
Safe Handling InformationConsult Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to handling and disposing of 3M™ Fire Barrier IC 15WB+.
