Graphite Intumescent Hinge Pads - Self-Adhesive

These innovative intumescent hinge pads are designed to enhance the fire safety of your doors, providing a crucial layer of protection that can make a significant difference in an emergency.

What are Intumescent Materials?

Intumescent materials are substances that expand when exposed to heat. In the context of door hardware, intumescent protection plays a vital role in fire safety. When subjected to high temperatures, such as those generated during a fire, intumescent materials swell and form a protective barrier. 

This barrier helps to seal the gaps around the hinge area, preventing the spread of smoke, flames, and gasses from one compartment to another, giving occupants valuable time to evacuate safely.

The Role of Intumescent Hinge Pads

Enhanced Fire Safety for Your Doors

These graphite intumescent hinge pads are meticulously crafted to provide an additional layer of fire protection in a range of facilities. These hinge liners are placed between the hinge leaf and door/frame, creating a fire-resistant barrier that aids in compartmentalization during a fire incident. 

By containing the fire's progression, these hinge pads can significantly reduce the damage caused by smoke and flames, offering peace of mind to building occupants and protecting property. These hinge liners are sold as single units so you will need 2no per hinge, or 4no for a pair of hinges. 

Easy Application with Self-Adhesive Backing

One of the standout features of these hinge pads is the self-adhesive backing. This makes installation a breeze, as you don’t need additional time to secure the pads in place whilst fixing the hinge to the door. The self-adhesive backing ensures a reliable and long-lasting bond with the hinge leaves, maintaining the integrity of the fire barrier over time.

Key Features of Graphite Intumescent Hinge Pads

High-Quality Graphite Material

Crafted from premium-grade graphite, these intumescent hinge pads are engineered to deliver exceptional fire resistance. Graphite is renowned for its fire-retardant properties, making it an ideal material choice for intumescent products. 

When exposed to heat, the graphite material expands efficiently to create an effective barrier that protects against the spread of fire and smoke. It provides excellent temperature insulation before and after expansion.
