    This document summarizes an intumescent graphite fire resistant mastic called FiGM. It expands up to 20 times its original volume when exposed to heat, forming a resilient fire seal for pipe, duct and electrical penetrations. FiGM is a water-based, flexible and acoustic sealant that is halogen-free, solvent-free and low VOC. It has obtained various fire resistance approvals and ratings for use sealing metallic and non-metallic pipes up to 159mm, air ducts, cables, and construction joints.
