Abstract: Intumescing materials for the fighting of fire or the prevention of damage resulting from fires are, as a rule, packaged in cartouches, from which they are removed for processing at building sites or the like. Their processing ability is limited because they harden to a rubberlike state with time. However, according to the invention, their spreading ability is maintained when a specific amount of a cellulose is added to the material.

Abstract: A sealing compound with a silicone polymer as the base, a cross-linking agent and an accelerator and fillers to be added as needed and a softener, which hardens during contact with the environmental moisture, through addition of heat or through combination of its constituents (2K-products). The softener consists entirely or partially of a paraffinic hydrocarbon, in which the percentage of the cyclical paraffinic hydrocarbons is in the range of 36 to 40% and the percentage of the noncyclical paraffinic hydrocarbons is in the range of 60 to 64%.
