EDGE OF SLAB
FIRESTOPPING
That narrow gap between your floor slab and façade is bigger
than it looks. Take a 100 x 100 ft. building with the usual 3”
void: that’s a tiny footprint, but it adds up to 100 ft2 of open
space for gas, smoke and flames to rise from floor to floor.
Almost all international building codes now recognize how
critical perimeter fire barriers are to the overall building safety
plan. For all your edge of slab firestopping needs, Hilti’s EOS
QuickSeal is the ultimate choice.

EOS QuickSeal is a preformed solution that is easier to install,

without the need for mineral wool and spray sealants. That
means it can be installed in a wide range of temperature and
weather conditions without affecting its performance and there
is no heavy equipment to haul around or mess to clean up.

EOS QuickSeal does not rely on mineral wool compression,

so it’s faster and easier to inspect and as a preformed device
may not be subject to the same destructive testing as may be
required for other third-party inspections.

To properly install EOS QuickSeal, removing dust, oil, water and frost from the concrete is required for the flaps glue to adhere to
the surface.

For concrete types 1-6, cleaning should be as follows:

• Evenly brush dust off with a PE brush from the

concrete top, side and façade
• Dust, oil, water and frost should be removed from
concrete surface

Expert solutions for unique applications

When it comes to firestop applications, reducing the level of risk is important. That’s why Hilti fire
protection specialists have performed extensive testing in both through-penetration and construction
joint firestop applications.

Still, there will always be situations when a current UL-listed system doesn’t accommodate your
particular application. When that happens, Hilti firestop experts can help.
