Most of the current standards require more than simply filling an opening with a firestop sealant. Requirements for a proper penetration firestop are addressed in numerous standards and codes: Processing environments that contain potential threats to fire safety may require penetrations with some level of passive firestop for delaying or preventing fire from passing through the penetration. Securing flexible boots to floors and ceilingsīoot rings secure flexible boots to floors and ceilings to stabilize the penetrant and maintain the seal in concrete and metal or to ceiling or floor tiles of various materials.Ĭombustible oils, explosive dusts, and flammable liquids and gasses are just a few of the fire hazards in many food and pharmaceutical facilities. As the following images show, the choice of penetration seal can make a significant difference in plant aesthetics. Therefore, plants that take pains to keep processing facilities polished without paying attention to penetration seals risk undermining the integrity of their efforts. Silicone boots are by far the neatest, most attractive option available. For example, The Industrial Asset Management Council (IAMC) and the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR), name plant design and aesthetics as essential factors in meat processing plants of the future.įood processing plants of all kinds are more than businesses-they represent social relationships with employees and their communities and therefore have contributions to make to a larger regional identity (Moline, 2015). For that reason, aesthetics often play a role in the design of sealants for floors and ceilings.
