Pecora AC-20 FTR Tru White: Acrylic Latex 29 oz Tube

Pecora AC-20 FTR Tru White: Acrylic Latex 29 oz Tube

Pecora AC-20 FTR is a unique acrylic latex sealant that is UL® Classified in firestopping systems for expansion joints and through penetrations. When properly installed, these systems effectively contain fire, smoke, toxic fumes, and water within a given area surrounded by firewalls for a two, three, or four hour period, depending on the design specifications.

Other Uses: Excellent adhesive, flexibility and durability qualities make AC-20 FTR ideal for insulating and weatherproofing around windows, doors, panels, siding, duct work, base plates, etc. It is compatible with all common building materials including specialties such as polystyrene, polyurethane, cork, vinyl (not for use on cpvc), foamed and fibrous glass. Used as an acoustical sealant, AC-20 FTR reduces sound transmission in partition systems to maintain specific STC values by sealing spaces around cut-outs and at perimeters of partitions. The sealant cures to a tough rubber to form a long-lasting acoustical seal.

TECHNICAL DATA
Applicable Standards: ASTM C-834-00 specification for latex sealing compounds. USDA acceptance for use in meat and poultry processing plants, ASTM C-919 standard practice per use of sealants in acoustical applications, and ASTM E-90-09.

Fire Rated System :Two-hour Fire and Temperature Rated wall and floor joint systems up to 7″ (178mm) wide and four-hour systems up to 4″ wide can be designed with AC-20 FTR in conjunction with Ultra Block fire blocking material in fire-rated walls and floors. AC-20 FTR in conjunction with Ultra Block® achieves a 2-hour fire rating when sealing around steel or copper pipe and electrical metallic tubing or steel conduit in through penetration systems. In addition to its fire-blocking value, Ultra Block® is very efficient acoustically, having a noise reduction coefficient of .75 and sound transmission coefficient of .5 (Ultra Block® is a registered trademark of Backer Rod Mfg. and Supply Co., Denver, CO, USA.)

INSTALLATION
Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be free of all contamination. Sealant may be applied to damp, porous surfaces. No priming is required.

Application: Refer to Pecora Technical Bulletin #85J and UL Fire Resistance Directory for installation details on fire-rated joint and through penetration systems. For insulating and weatherproofing purposes, fill all window, door, and panel perimeter joints using a resilient backer rod to control sealant depth to 1/2″ (13mm) maximum. For best results, protect sealant from excessive low temperatures and apply above 40°F (4°C). For acoustical purposes, apply continuous beads of sealant to seal perimeters of all sound-rated partitions. Apply sealant in the angles formed by metal components or base-layer panels and abutting surfaces. Apply sealant around all openings formed for outlets; electrical, telephone, light fixtures, etc.

Tooling: Tool material flush with surfaces to allow for expected shrinkage and insure good contact and adhesion to the substrate.

Cleaning: Remove excess material with water or a damp cloth before it cures. Sealant may be painted within 30 minutes after application with a good grade of latex paint.

Shelf Life:  Pecora AC-20 FTR has a shelf life well in excess of one year when stored in unopened containers below 80° F (27°C).

Precautions:  Pecora AC-20 FTR is non-flammable, non-toxic, non-irritating and environmentally safe. However, do not take internally. Ultra Block® is a non-carcinogenic processed continuous filament textile glass fiber that may cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. When applying, wear long sleeves, gloves, cap, goggles or safety glasses and NIOSH/MSHA-approved dust respirator. After use bathe with soap and warm water. Wash clothes separately and rinse after use. Refer to our Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information.
