CLK Sealant protects buildings from fire
Nelson Firestop’s new CLK Sealant protects
buildings from spreading fire, smoke and
gases.
Contractors can quickly and easily
maintain the integrity of fire-rated construction with the new CLK silicone
sealant from Nelson Firestop. Installed
by a caulking gun, or by manually trowelling using a mason's trowel or putty
knife, CLK Sealant is ideal for firestop
penetrations and construction joints,
such as around metallic pipes or conduits, and for floor-to-wall, floor-to-floor
and head of wall applications. CLK is
waterproof, smoke-proof and gas-proof,
so nothing gets through. Highly adhesive and simple to apply, this nonshrinking and non-toxic sealant maintains its flexibility and allows for movement or vibration, so it retains its sealing qualities even with expansion, contraction or other fluctuations. In addition to protecting and preventing the
spread of fire, smoke, gases and water,
CLK has been acoustically tested to
demonstrate excellent noise reduction
properties. Nelson Firestop CLK meets
UL1479, ASTM E-814, ASTM E-1966
and ASTM E-84 standards.
