Fire Rated Packers designed specifically for use with Blue 60 Fire Rated Foam are inserted around the door frame fixings to provide fire rated foam with an even surface during expansion and to help prevent foam from flowing out and onto the floor.
They provide up to 60 minute fire protection on timber doorsets without the use of additional mastics or sealants and are suitable for both timber and metal stud partitionings. They are available in three thicknesses which can be combined to achieve a proper fitting and are acoustically tested up to 43dB. In order to maintain fire rating certification, these Fire Rated Packers must be used with Blue 60 Fire Rated Foam.
- Tested in full size single & double doorsets
- Tested with softwood, MDF & hardwood frame sections
- Tested with gaps between 7mm & 30mm
- White in colour for compliance identification purposes
Ratio of Blue 60 Packers per tin of Blue 60 Foam
There are 10 fixing points per frame with the correct gaps of 7/9mm = 3 packers per fixing - 30 packers per frame.
One can of Blue 60 with correct gaps of 7/9mm is enough for 3 doorsets, equalling 90 packers per can plus extra packers for shimming under the frame to square the head due to uneven floor surfaces equates to 100 packers required per can.
If the gaps are bigger then more foam and packers are required on a pro-rata basis.
To summarise 33 of each size of packer is required per can of foam and there are 3 different sizes of packer.
Per box there are 4 bags x 100 of each size of packer are required.

Are intumescent strips fire rated?
Yes, intumescent strips are fire rated and come in various fire-resistance classes. The fire rating will depend on the type of strip and the application. Ratings typically range from 30 minutes to 2 hours of fire protection.
Strips must be manufactured and tested in accordance with BS476 pt22 and BS EN 1634-1.
What is intumescent material?
Intumescent material expands and forms a dense char when heated or exposed to fire, increasing its volume and decreasing in density. This expansion is called intumescence.
