Description

ArmaProtect EFC1 and EFC2 represent an innovative and flexible solution for critical firestop pipe penetrations, ensuring enhanced safety in buildings. These endless firestop collars are ingeniously designed to accommodate a wide range of pipe diameters and design variants, providing versatile passive fire protection. Constructed with a robust stainless steel strap and a self-adhesive, flexible intumescent strip powered by advanced blowing graphite technology, these collars react to heat by expanding significantly (18 to 34 times, with expansion pressure > 0.8 N/mm² starting above 190°C) to seal gaps around pipes during a fire. This crucial action prevents the spread of fire and smoke through penetrations. Gitco-sa.com, as the authorized Armacell distributor in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, is proud to supply this essential fire safety product across the region, serving major cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Manama, and more.

ArmaProtect EFC1 and EFC2 offer impressive fire resistance for various elements of construction: up to EI 120 for drywall, concrete, aerated concrete, and masonry walls, and an outstanding EI 240 for concrete floors (EN 13501-2). They are suitable for use at temperatures below 0°C with UV exposure but no rain (Type Y1, EOTA TR 024). The collars are designed for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, with an optimal processing temperature between 5°C and 25°C. The stainless steel collar achieves a Reaction to Fire Class A1, while the intumescent strip is Class E (EN 13501-1). These solutions contain no dangerous substances and offer the benefit of “no shelf life” for the product itself when stored correctly (cool, dry, protected from frost), providing long-term reliability for your passive fire protection systems.
