A fire-protection element includes a carrier material having a carrier fabric; an intumescent material, which is applied to at least one surface of the carrier material and which forms elongated structures when heat is applied. The carrier material has a carrier fabric having loops for receiving the elongate structures of the intumescent material that arise when heat is applied and for hooking together with said elongated structures.

There is disclosed a passive intumescent fire damper having a metal housing, an inner meltable liner and having a metal and intumescent laminate assembly surrounding the inner liner.

The presently claimed invention relates to a fire barrier, a method for installing the same, an expansion joint system and a fire barrier assembly.

The disclosure relates to a system for providing a fire safe sealing in an aperture in a wall, a ceiling or a floor of a building, consisting of at least two block shaped sealing elements with two main surfaces being oriented parallel to each other and at least three lateral faces connecting the main surfaces to each other, of which at least one element is made from mineral fibres and a binding agent, whereby lateral faces being arranged adjacent to each other, or lateral faces and main surfaces being arranged adjacent to each other, incorporate an angle being unequal to 90° and whereby each element is shorter than the length of the aperture and smaller than the height of the aperture.

A penetration device for cable(s), wire(s) or pipe(s) that pass through an opening arranged to a wall, a ceiling or a floor is disclosed including an insert, which has an intumescent material and heat resistant flexible material layers, where the intumescent material is arranged between the heat resistant flexible material layers. The insert includes at least one penetrating opening for a cable, a wire or a pipe elongated through the width direction of the insert. The penetration device further includes a housing, which has an outer casing surrounding the insert, which outer casing is at least partly perforated. The outer casing includes a first end and a second end in the length direction of the housing, which first end and second end have inward bent edges and/or a structural element to make an area of the opening of the first end and the second end smaller.

A vehicle has a high-voltage accumulator which has a high-voltage accumulator housing. At least one accumulator cell is arranged in the high-voltage accumulator housing and has an emergency degassing opening that is closed in a gas-tight manner in a normal state of the accumulator cell and opens when a specified internal pressure in the interior of the accumulator cell is exceeded so that a hot or burning gas can leak out of the accumulator cell into the high-voltage accumulator housing. Granulate which expands when heated by incident hot or burning gas is provided in sub-regions of the high-voltage accumulator. The sub-regions are arranged in the region of the emergency degassing opening of the at least one accumulator cell.

An apparatus for containing fires including a fire containment pouch that includes an upper portion and a lower portion, the fire containment pouch is a flame-resistant material. The upper portion includes a pouch section that is coated with an intumescent material and the lower portion including a cuff section. The upper portion and the lower portion juxtaposed one against each other to define an outer containment portion of elongate length from a top of the pouch section and a bottom of the cuff section. The fire containment pouch is adaptable to be pulled inside out thereby transforming the outer containment portion to an inner containment portion and a fastener secured to the bottom of the cuff section to seal an object within the inner containment portion after the fire containment pouch has been pulled inside out.

A method is described for reducing the afterflame of a flammable, meltable material. A textile composite is described comprising an outer textile comprising a flammable, meltable material, and a heat reactive material comprising a polymer resin-expandable graphite mixture.

A firestopping apparatus including a housing defined by first and second housing members. Each housing member includes a width direction wall panel and a height direction wall panel. The width direction wall panel of the first housing member is configured to connect with the height direction wall panel of the second housing member and the width direction wall panel of the second housing member is configured to connect with the height direction wall panel of the first housing member to define an assembled housing with a through passage. Intumescent material is positioned along an inner surface of each wall panel. A compressible foam is positioned within the intumescent material and substantially closes off the through passage.

The present invention provides fire protection for pole access points and pole interiors. In accordance with preferred embodiments, the present invention provides a fireproof hole plug assembly which includes an intumescent gasket and a securing fireproof hole plug. According to further preferred embodiments, the intumescent gasket of the present invention is preferably cut to fit the fireproof hole plug and positioned to act as a barrier between the access point and external heat sources.
