Fire stop materials are fire-resistant seals and caulks used to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. They are commonly used to fill gaps in fire-rated assemblies, such as walls and floors, created by pipes, cables, and ductwork and between layers of critical parts. Fire-retardant materials reduce the flammability of materials through the suppression or slowing the growth of fire once it has started reducing fire severity or protecting structures during a fire. They are commonly used in adhesives, coatings and outerlayers of critical components in electronics, aerospace panels, automotive interiors and building and construction materials such as ceiling, roofing and wall insulation, framing and decks.
