Introduction: why choose high performance fire seals?
Smoke and heat are the deadliest threats in the event of a fire, especially for equipment such as gun cabinets, safes, fire doors, etc. It is vital to protect the contents from fire. And Fireproof Intumescent Seal is one of the key components, which can effectively block smoke and flame and keep the cabinet or door sealed.
Among the many Fireproof Intumescent Seal products, RPB (graphite-based) series of flexible Fireproof Intumescent Seal has become the preferred solution in the market due to its advantages of high-temperature intumescence, flexible adaptability and excellent fire resistance. So, what are the specific aspects of its excellent performance? Let’s find out.
The Working Principle of RPB (Graphite-based) Fireproof Intumescent Seal
The core of RPB series Fireproof Intumescent Seal is its graphite-based intumescent technology:
- Rapid expansion at high temperature → When the temperature reaches 200-300°C, the sealing strip rapidly expands to 5-20 times of the original thickness and fills the gap.
- Form a strong fire barrier → effectively prevent flames, smoke, toxic gases from entering the gun cabinet or safe.
- Flexible material adapts to different structures → Suitable for fire doors, gun cabinets, safes, electrical equipment and other applications.
Core Benefits of RPB (Graphite Based) Series Seals
High Temperature and Fire Resistance: Maintains an effective seal even in extreme environments up to 1200°F (650°C).
Smoke and Toxin Resistant: Reduces the risk of asphyxiation by stopping the leakage of toxic fumes in the event of a fire.
Highly Flexible: Suitable for gaps of different shapes and sizes, easy to install, does not affect the normal use of the cabinet door.
International certification: comply with UL 72, BS 476, EN 1634 and other fire prevention standards to ensure reliable quality.

How to choose the right fire seal?
Fire Resistance Time → Choose 30, 60, 90 minutes fireproof sealing strips to meet the needs of use.
Expansion ratio → Ensure that the ratio of high temperature expansion is sufficient to fill the gaps in the equipment.
Adaptability → Choose the right size to ensure that the installation will not affect the normal use of the cabinet door or door frame.
Certifications → Select products that comply with UL, BS, and EN certifications to ensure safety and reliability.
