Metacaulk 1000 Intumescent Firestop Sealant

Metacaulk 1000 Firestop Sealant

The Metacaulk 1000 Firestop Sealant is a one-component, intumescent, fire-rated sealant designed for construction joints and through-penetration firestop applications. This water-based, VOC-compliant sealant cures to a flexible elastomeric seal that helps prevent the spread of flames, smoke, hot gases, and water through fire-rated assemblies.

Designed for both new construction and retrofit applications, Metacaulk 1000 provides reliable fire protection for dynamic movement joints and penetrations. It requires no mixing or dilution and offers excellent adhesion, mold resistance, freeze-thaw durability, and paintability for interior applications.
