In the fire industry, a significant percentage of the current electrical back boxes on the market derive from the domestic marketplace and are designed for electrical connection only with little fire protection consideration. Consequently, we developed the Blaze Trap Rapid Outlet Box System, a Stainless Steel Electrical Back Box with a unique injection moulded Intumescent insert liner, a high-quality technical material based on exfoliated graphite, which develops a foamed body when heat is applied.
When the Blaze Trap Intumescent Liner is exposed to fire it forms a dense foaming carbon char which separates and insulates the substrate from the heat of the fire. The expanded liner eliminates the flow of air through the void and thereby starves the fire of vital elements for combustion. This is brand new technology, for which we have secured a patent (GB2588670B) and a registered trademark and provides the following advantages against existing products on the market.
- Free of organic solvents and releases no Volatile organic compounds (VOC)’s which have been known to have adverse health effects.
- Halogen free
- Fire Tested to UK & European highest 120 minutes (and above: exceeded test by 20 minutes!)
- Acoustic Tested to 64dB (above building regulation requirement of 57dB)
Three Winning Facts:
- Innovative: Unique injection moulded Intumescent box Liner is the first in the UK and Europe.
- Local Value Impact: manufactured in the north of England.
- Only product on the market to cover 30, 60, 90 & 120 minutes fire wall regulation.
