Cavity Barriers
Silverliner® Open State Cavity Barrier (OSCB) is developed to protect the voids between the outer façade and the inner construction element of the building.
The product is designed for use in a ventilated façade, typically used in horizontal applications at floor junctions and around window openings.
The Silverliner® OSCB allows for 25mm or 50mm linear air gap to ensure movement of air and drain any moisture within the façade.
The aluminium foil restricts fibre migration and offers a class ‘0’ rating.
In the event of a fire the intumescent outer edge of the product will expand and close the ventilation gap between the product and the façade preventing the passage of fire and smoke from one compartment to another.
The Product comes in four different versions, achieving different air gaps and fire performance as follows:-
OSBC 1 - 25mm Air Gap, (E) Integrity 90 / (I) Insulation 30
OSBC 2 - 50mm Air Gap, (E) Integrity 60 / (I) Insulation 30
OSBC 3 - 25mm Air Gap, (E) Integrity 120 / (I) Insulation 120
OSBC 4 - 50mm Air Gap, (E) Integrity 90 / (I) Insulation 60 (Void Size 54 - 354mm)
OSBC 4 - 50mm Air Gap, (E) Integrity 60 / (I) Insulation 60 (Void Size 355 - 550mm)
ASFP TGD19:“Open State” Cavity Barrier used in External Envelope or Fabric of Buildings.
This test exposes the cavity barrier to a specified regime of heating and pressure specified in EN1363-1.
Block, masonry, aerated concrete and concrete must be within a density range of 450 to 2300kg/m³. CP
(cement particle) board and concrete cladding must be within a density range of 450 to 2300kg/m³. Timber
must have a minimum density of 510kg/m³. All substrates must have at least the same Fire Resistance as is
required by the fire stopping system.
