How 1 mm intumescent hinge pads Works: Instant Reaction for Maximum Protection
Upon exposure to fire temperatures, the intumescent material in the 1 mm hinge pads activates, swelling to create an insulation barrier that stops flames and smoke from breaching the hinge gap. This expansion contributes substantially to prolonging the fire resistance period of your door, which is critical for safe evacuation and property protection.
By targeting a key weak point on fire doors—the hinge recess—these pads deliver hidden but powerful passive fire defense.
