Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0344964A2] An element (10) for use as a door frame or part thereof comprises an intumescent strip (20) enclosed in a cured plastics material (11). The element (10) also comprises an element (22) of solid construction. In use, when the intumescent strip (20) is actuated to a temperature between 120<o>C and 300<o>C due to heat from a fire, it expands to a volume of at least six times its non-turgid state thereby sealing the element (10) to the fire door (30) and preventing the spread of fire to the other side of the door (30).
