Abstract
Abstract A fire resistant seal which at least partially surrounds a member, e.g. a pipe (16), passing through a fireproof building dividing structure, e.g. a floor (14). The seal comprises an adhesive fire-resistant moulding compound (22), spanning the opening between the member (16) and the structure (14) at about the plane of at least one surface of the structure (14). An infill of ceramic fibres (24) is provided in the interstices between the member (16) and structure (14). A layer of adhesive cement (26) may cover the fibres (24). A method of forming such a seal comprises applying afire resistant adhesive cement to span the opening between the member (16) and structure (14) and inserting ceramic fibres (24) between the member (16) and the opening forming the interstice between the member and the inner surface of the hole.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
A fire-resistant seal at least partially surrounding a member passing through a fireproof building dividing structure comprising an adhesive fire-resistant moulding compound spanning the opening between said member and said dividing structure at about the plane of at least one surface of said structure and ceramic fibre filling the interstices between said member and said dividing structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
57 words
A fire-resistant seal at least partially surrounding a member passing through a fireproof building dividing structure comprising an adhesive fire-resistant moulding compound spanning the opening between said member and said dividing structure at about the plane of at least one surface of said structure and ceramic fibre filling the interstices between said member and said dividing structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A seal as claimed in claim 1, wherein said dividing structure is a cement wall, ceiling or floor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A seal as claimed in claim 1 or 2 wherein said fire-resistant moulding compound comprises ceramic fibre and colloidal silica.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A seal as claimed in claim 3 wherein said fire-resistant moulding compound further comprises a solid acrylic polymer adhesion enhancing agent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A seal as claimed in claim 4 wherein said fire-resistant cement further comprises aluminium trihydrate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A seal as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein said fire-resistant cement comprises ceramic fibre, colloidal silica, a solid acrylic polymer and aluminium trihydrate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words

Claim 10
Independent Claim
71 words
A method of forming a fire-resistant seal at least partially surrounding a member passing through a fireproof building dividing structure comprising applying a fire-resistant adhesive cement to span the opening between said member and the first surface cf said building dividing structure, inserting bulk ceramic fibre into the opening forming the interstice between the member and the inner surface of the hole in the dividing structure through which the member passes.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
71 words
A method of forming a fire-resistant seal at least partially surrounding a member passing through a fireproof building dividing structure comprising applying a fire-resistant adhesive cement to span the opening between said member and the first surface cf said building dividing structure, inserting bulk ceramic fibre into the opening forming the interstice between the member and the inner surface of the hole in the dividing structure through which the member passes.
