The role of the RPB-YX series special-shaped fireproof intumescent seal in fire doors.

  1. Dual Security Protection (Impact Resistance + Fire Sealing)

    Impact Resistance: The seal strip is made of highly elastic material, capable of absorbing impact from forced entry, explosions, or extreme weather (such as typhoons), thereby protecting the door structure and maintaining the integrity of the door frame

    Fire Sealing:
    When exposed to high temperatures (≥200°C), it rapidly expands to 7–20 times its original volume, filling door gaps effectively to block flames (with a fire resistance rating of 2–4 hours) and prevent the spread of toxic smoke—providing critical time for evacuation and rescue.
  2. Enhancing the Overall Performance of Armored Doors

    Structural Compatibility:
    Specially designed profiles conform to the heavy-duty frame and complex edges of armored doors, preventing deformation or poor closure due to inadequate sealing.

    Sound Insulation:
    High-density materials reduce the transmission of noise (e.g., gunshots, explosions), making it suitable for high-security environments such as military facilities and banks.

    Air and Thermal Insulation:
    Minimizes the infiltration of hot or cold air, improves energy efficiency, and enhances indoor comfort.

Without fire disaster, the bubble structure plays excellent impact-resistant sound insulation and dust-proof sealing effect when close the door.

RPB-YXGD Series Special Shape Fireproof Intumescent Seal for Glass Doors

The Role of RPB-YXGD Series Special Shape Fireproof Intumescent Seal for Glass Doors in Fireproof Windows

Enhances fire resistance to form a complete protection system

During a fire, the sealant rapidly expands (up to 7-20 times its original size), effectively sealing the gaps between the window frame and glass. This prevents flames, high-temperature gases, and smoke from passing through, delaying the spread of fire.

Protects the vulnerable edges of glass

While fire-resistant glass can withstand high temperatures, its connection points with the window frame remain weak areas susceptible to heat damage. RPB-YXGD effectively reinforces the protective capabilities of these joint areas.

Compatible with various window structures

The sealant can be customized into special shapes to fit rectangular, circular, curved, and other irregular window types, offering flexible adaptation to diverse design requirements.

Easy installation, suitable for factory pre-embedding or on-site construction

No special tools are required for installation, saving construction time and costs. It is ideal for use by window manufacturers or at assembly sites.

Water-resistant and aging-resistant for long-term use

The material is non-absorbent and resistant to deformation, maintaining stable performance in humid or rainy environments such as kitchens, basements, and coastal buildings.

Aesthetic without obstructing visibility

Available in low-key colors or concealed designs, it does not compromise the transparency or overall aesthetics of the window. This makes it particularly suitable for spaces with visual requirements, such as viewing windows and fire partition windows.

The intumescent systems have been specially formulated to accommodate the expansion in the glass during a fire situation.

1. High-Efficiency Flame Retardancy and Fire Resistance

  • High-Temperature Expansion Characteristics: When exposed to fire or high temperatures, the graphite seal rapidly expands (typically with an expansion ratio of 7–20 times), filling gaps and door seams to form a dense carbonized layer, effectively blocking flames and high-temperature transfer to unburned areas.

  • High-Temperature Stability: The graphite material exhibits exceptional heat resistance (typically withstanding over 1000°C), ensuring the fire door’s structural integrity during a fire and extending its fire resistance rating (e.g., 1–3 hours or more).

2. Superior Smoke Sealing Performance

  • Dual Sealing Mechanism: At normal temperatures, the seal tightly adheres to door gaps to minimize airflow. During a fire, its expanded state completely blocks gaps, preventing the spread of toxic smoke and buying critical time for evacuation and firefighting.

  • Graphite Adsorption Properties: Graphite’s inherent adsorptive qualities further reduce the penetration rate of smoke particles, enhancing smoke suppression.

3. Durability and Environmental Adaptability

  • Anti-Aging Performance: The graphite material resists corrosion, oxidation, and deformation, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments (e.g., humidity, extreme temperature fluctuations).

  • High Mechanical Strength: Withstands frequent door operation without significant wear, offering a service life far exceeding that of conventional rubber seals.

RPB-YXSD Series Special Shape Fireproof Intumescent Seal for Glass Doors

The role of the RPB-YXSD series special-shaped fireproof intumescent sealing strip in fire-resistant rolling shutters.

  1. High-Efficiency Fire & Smoke Barrier
    Ultra-Expanding Seal: Expands 7-20 times* upon fire exposure, rapidly filling gaps between door edges and tracks to block flames (meets GB 14102 fire resistance standards) and high-temperature smoke (<200°C smoke permeability approaches zero).

    Automatic Fire Response:
    Activates instantly in early fire stages without power or manual intervention, buying critical time for evacuation and emergency response.

  2. Environmental Adaptability & Durability
    Waterproof & Moisture-Resistant: Resists humidity, condensation, and damp environments (e.g., underground garages, warehouses), remaining mold-free and functional long-term

    Weather & Aging Resistance:
    Withstands extreme temperatures (-40°C to 150°C), UV exposure, and chemical corrosion, minimizing replacement needs.
  3. Easy Installation & Low Maintenance
    Adhesive-Free Snap-On Design: Installs directly into tracks/sealing zones without glue or tools, cutting labor and time by 50%+.

    Self-Cleaning Surface:
    Smooth finish resists dust buildup; simple wiping suffices for upkeep.

  4. Compatibility & Versatility
    Universal Fit: Works with steel roll-up doors (high-hardness metal frames) and fabric-based roll-up doors (flexible fiber materials), evenly distributing sealing pressure to prevent door deformation.

The shapes and structures are available to be customized according to shutter door designs.​

Fire Door Strips FAQs

Fire Door Strips are specialized seals installed on fire doors to prevent the passage of smoke, flames, and toxic gases during a fire, enhancing the door’s ability to compartmentalize and contain the spread of fire.

Over-painting of fire door strips should not compromise performance in a fire situation – however, do not suggest paint over fire door strips as this will certainly compromise the sealing containment performance and use life. If the intumescent strips on fire doors has already been painted over, you will need to replace it. Our seals are available in a range of colours, plus woodgrain and metallic finishes, so over-painting should not be necessary.

In the event of a serious fire, fire doors are one of the most important components in ensuring safe exit, containing the fire and saving lives. But they can be rendered useless by not using the correct components including intumescent strip. Gaps around the four sides of a fire door leaf are essential, it is the only way the door can open and close. But these gaps create a point of weakness, where fire can take hold and destroy the door, and toxic and smoke can pass through. RESSA intumescent strip works by sealing around the edges and gaps of a fire door and door frames in the event of a fire.

In essence, all intumescent do the same job, but not necessarily in the same way. You’ll need to know which specifications you require; consult our technical team to discuss this area in depth at [email protected].

Yes, RPB Series flexible fire door strips are suitable for both new builds and for retrofitting into existing structures, providing an effective fire-stopping solution. The intallation method is very easy by self-adhesive.
