 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+
3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ is a high-performance,
ready-to-use, gun-grade, latex-based, intumescent sealant
that dries to form a monolithic firestop seal that also acts as
a barrier to airborne sound transmission. 3M™ Fire Barrier
Sealant CP 25WB+ helps control the spread of fire, smoke
and noxious gasses before, during and after exposure to
a fire when installed in accordance with a tested service
penetration assembly system.

3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ firestops blank

openings and penetrations passing through fire-rated floor,
floor/ceiling or wall assemblies and other fire-rated interior
building construction. The unique intumescent property of
this material allows 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+
to expand and help maintain a firestop penetration seal as
single or multiple service penetrants are exposed to fire.
3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ exhibits excellent
adhesion to a full range of construction substrates and
penetrants. No mixing is required.

Applications
High-performance 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ is
ideal for sealing single or multiple surface penetrations in
fire-rated construction. 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+
is typically used in mechanical, electrical and plumbing
applications to firestop openings created by the following
penetrations in fire-rated floors, floor/ceilings or walls:
metallic pipe, plastic pipe (excluding CPVC), conduit, power
and communication cable, cable trays, busways, combos,
insulated pipe and HVAC duct penetrations.

Installation Techniques
Consult a 3M Authorized Fire Protection Products Distributor / Dealer or Sales Representative for applicable ETA and 3M™ Technical Data Sheet for
installation techniques.
Preparatory Work
The surface of the opening and any penetrating items should be cleaned to allow for the proper adhesion of the 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant
CP 25WB+. Ensure that the surface of the substrates is not wet and are frost free. Sealant can be installed with a standard caulking gun, pneumatic
pumping equipment or it can be easily applied with a putty knife or trowel.
Installation Details
Install the applicable depth of backing material (i.e. mineral wool) with a minimum density of 140 kg/m³, if required, as detailed within the applicable
ETA or with 3M™ Technical Data Sheet. Cut the end of the 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ cartridge dispensing tip to achieve the desired bead
width when applying. Install the applicable depth of 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ into the opening flush with the surface of the substrate,
or as detailed within the applicable ETA or with 3M™ Technical Data Sheet, at the depth for the assembly and rating that is required. Tool within 5
minutes. Clean all tools immediately after use with water.
Limitations
Do not apply 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ when surrounding temperature is less than 0°C and in conditions where seals may be exposed to
rain or water spray within 18 hours of application. Do not apply 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ to building materials that bleed oil, plasticizers
or solvent (e.g. impregnated wood, oil-based sealants, or green or partially vulcanized rubber). Do not apply 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ to
wet or frost-coated surfaces or to areas that are continuously damp or immersed in water.
NOTICE: This product is not acceptable for use with chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) pipes.

Maintenance
No maintenance should be required when installed in accordance with the applicable European Technical
Approval and the 3M™ Technical Data. Once installed, if any section of the 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant
CP 25WB+ is damaged, the following procedure will apply:* 1121
• Remove and reinstall the damaged section in accordance with the applicable ETA or with 3M™ Technical
