  • Patent number: 10907751
    Abstract: A fire protection element is useful for the separation of openings passing through walls or ceilings, in particular of line passages. The fire protection element has a molded part made from intumescent material with a plurality of through-openings for the passage of lines which extend in particular parallel to each other from a first side to an opposite second side of the fire protection element. In each case, the through-openings for the passage are tightly sealed relative to flue gas by a membrane.

  • Patent number: 9995037
    Abstract: A through-penetration device has a molded body consisting essentially of an intumescent foam material and having at least one penetration opening for one line. An outer contour of the molded body has protrusions extending radially outward for anchoring within a cast building component, which protrusions form undercuts in building component as the building component is being cast. In addition, a mounting plate that can be axially pushed onto the through-penetration device, sealing the penetration openings, is provided. As the through-penetration device is produced, a liquid coating material is applied to a surface of a foaming mold, and then a foam mass containing a predetermined percentage of intumescent material is introduced into the foaming mold. After a foaming process, the coating material forms a water-impermeable skin on the foamed molded body.

  • Publication number: 20130095275
    Abstract: A lining and a related method for extending the period during which a line leg, such as a pipeline in a fireproofing installation, remains below a critical temperature are described. The lining includes, for example, a binding agent, endothermically degradable fillers and/or other fillers, if applicable. The method includes a wrapped line leg with the lining on both sides for wall feedthroughs and/or above the feedthrough opening for ceiling feedthroughs directly after the bulkheading of a feedthrough opening in a fireproofing installation. The heat removal from or the cooling of a line leg can be supported easily and applied on-site in such a way that even line legs with good thermal conductivity can achieve a high T-rating value in the fire test.
