FIRETIGHT FUSE
An OPEN STATE CAVITY BARRIER FOR VENTILATED FACADE SYSTEMS
FIRETIGHT® FUSE by Alert is a patented fire stop / cavity barrier specifically designed for fire protection of ventilated façade systems.
The Fuse consists of compressed water repellent Rockwool Rockfit Premium held between two connected cement fiber panels, allowing airflow and draining of moisture within the façade construction.
These panels are held together by special pre-tensioned fuses. In the event of a fire and the trigger temperature in the fuse (140°C) is exceeded, these fuses melt, causing the compressed stone wool to expand and completely seal the opening against fire and hot smoke. The Fuse is equipped with a reactive intumescent tape on the front and back to fully seal any irregularities in the construction against fire.
For closed / unventilated façade systems we recommend using FIRETIGHT Fire stop.

FIRETIGHT® FUSE
APPLICATIONS
FIRETIGHT® FUSE is a cavity barrier for passive fire protection of ventilated facade systems. With FIRETIGHT® FUSE the construction is ventilated until the event of a fire causes a quick firetight seal between building components.FIRETIGHT® FUSE is used (as a cavity barrier) in buildings were the requirements for fire resistance are high such as high-rise buildings, hospitals, public buildings, etc.
Tested by
Efectis Nederland BV
Tested according to
The fire resistance is tested according the (pre-norm) prEN 1364-6:2016. “Determination of the fire resistance of non-loadbearing building elements – Part 6: Fire-resistant cavity sealing (Cavity Barriers).“
Both the cement fiber panels and the Rockwool stone wool base materials have the highest fireclass (A1).
