USG Corporation, a leading building products manufacturer, today introduces FIRECODE Smoke-Sound Sealant, a new sealant boasting fire, smoke, and acoustical control all in one product. The fire caulk’s rust-red appearance makes it easily identifiable for contractors and inspectors.
The sealant is an acrylic, latex-based fire caulk intended for use as a joint sealant in fire-rated partitions and shaftwalls, smoke barriers, sound rated assemblies, and through-penetration fire stop systems. It applies quickly and easily with hand gun equipment, making it ideal for both vertical and horizontal surfaces. It offers a long shelf life and good open time, and its low-VOC latex composition is non-staining and cleans easily.
