[VIDEO] 50-year lifespan confirmed for Injecta passive Fire Barrier

Injecta Fire Barrier has confirmed that graphite-based cavity barrier Injectaclad has passed rigorous testing to certify a 50-year effective lifespan

The graphite-based Injectaclad sealant, which is injected into concealed building cavities to prevent fire spread, endured 153 days at 90°C in accelerated aging tests — equivalent to 50 years of real-world performance — without degradation.

This is more than triple the industry standard of approximately 15 years, providing developers, building managers, and owners of low- to high-rise structures with a long-term, future-proof passive fire safety solution that significantly exceeds current expectations.

Injectaclad’s patented installation method allows for seamless injection into wall cavities. As an intumescent material, it expands under heat, effectively sealing gaps to block flames and smoke, providing crucial extra time for safe evacuation.

It does not require removal of the existing façade, making significant cost savings on traditional remediation methods and being more environmentally friendly by creating far less dust and waste material.

Compliant with both the Fire Safety Act (2021) and the Building Safety Act (2022)

With growing responsibility on building owners to upgrade fire protection, the Injectaclad system offers a durable, cost-effective, and minimally invasive solution that ensures compliance and occupant safety.

“Following extensive testing, the Injectaclad system has demonstrated it can maintain both its structural integrity and appearance for five decades,” says Shaun Tasker, managing director at Injecta Fire Barrier.

“With mounting regulatory pressure, investing in a compliant and future-proof passive fire barrier like Injectaclad solution is more important than ever,” adds Shaun. “Its 50-year lifespan makes Injectaclad the most enduring cavity fire protection solution on the market, giving property owners peace of mind that their buildings will remain safe and compliant for decades.”

“Injectaclad solution is not just a compliant product — it’s a life-saving precaution,” concludes Shaun Tasker. “With a certified 50-year lifespan, we remain committed to keeping building occupants safe and supporting the future of fire safety in the UK.”
