Mortar (firestop)

Mortar (firestop)

Firestop mortars are mortars most typically used to firestop large openings in walls and floors required to have a fire-resistance rating. They are passive fire protection items. Firestop mortars differ in formula and properties from most other cementitious substances[citation needed] and cannot be substituted with generic mortars without violating the listing and approval use and compliance.

Construction

Firestop mortar, is a combination of powder mixed with water, forming a cementatious stone which dries hard. It is sometimes mixed with lightweight aggregates, such as perlite or vermiculite[citation needed]. It is sometimes pigmented to distinguish it from generic materials[citation needed] in an effort to prevent unlawful substitution and to enable verification of the certification listing.
