Application of NulliFire FR230
Usage Guidelines:
Before using NulliFire FR230, it is crucial to always read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), pre-application guidance, and relevant application details. Ensure that the latest documents are downloaded prior to commencing any project.
Preparation:
– All substrates must be suitable, clean, and sound, free from dirt, grease, and other contamination.
– Consider the thermal expansion requirements of services at this point.
– Ensure FR230 will not be cast across a movement joint.
Installation:
– For floor installation, FR230 can accommodate an area up to 1.21 m² (or a maximum span of 300 mm x infinite length) when installed in accordance with a suitable Nullifire closer device (e.g., FP302 Intustrap or FS709 HP).
– Measure the opening size and service locations, transferring measurements accurately onto the FI140 50 mm Shutter Slab.
– Ensure compression by locating FI140 between the service and substrate 100 mm beneath floor level, completely filling the opening at that level.
– Flows easily around and behind services for effective sealing.
Applications:
NulliFire FR230 is suitable for various service penetrations, including:
– Single and bunched cables
– Cable trays, ladders, and baskets
– Non-combustible pipes
– Cable trunking
– Combustible pipes
– Insulated non-combustible pipes
– It may also be used around dampers and ventilation ducts (consult manufacturer’s guidelines).
Typical Areas of Use:
Incorporating NulliFire FR230 provides effective fire resistance in a range of environments, including:
– Health and leisure facilities
– Schools and universities
– Hotels and hospitality venues
– Commercial buildings
– Retail spaces
– Industrial structures
Ensure all shutter breaches or openings around services are filled prior to pouring FR230. This may be achieved using FF197 Fire Rated PU Foam or FR230 at a 3:1 mix ratio.

Packaging Information:
NulliFire FR230 is available in the following packaging:
