Description

Metacaulk® 1000 is a single-component, water-based, highly intumescent firestop sealant designed to prevent the spread of flames, smoke, hot gases, and water through construction joints and through-penetrations. This non-sag, elastomeric sealant is easy to apply by trowel or pump from pails and cures to a flexible seal capable of accommodating dynamic movement.

In fire conditions, Metacaulk 1000 expands when exposed to heat, sealing openings and maintaining the integrity of fire-rated assemblies. Systems are tested and rated for up to 4 hours in accordance with ASTM E814 (UL 1479), ASTM E1966 (UL 2079), and CAN/ULC-S115 standards.

Ideal for commercial, institutional, and multi-family construction, Metacaulk 1000 also provides excellent acoustical performance and mold resistance.
