1. Product Description 5. Performance
3MTM Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 15A is a fire resistant 3M Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 15A has been tested in
wrap consisting of a patented inorganic blanket accordance with the following:
encapsulated with a scrim-reinforced foil. It is used to ASTM C 411
fire rate commercial kitchen grease ducts and is a ASTM C 51
proven alternative to 1 or 2 hour fire resistant rated ASTM E 84
shaft enclosures. This non-asbestos wrap contains a ASTM E 119
safer fiber construction* and installs easily because of ASTM E 136
its high flexibility and strength. 3M Fire Barrier Duct ASTM E 814
Wrap 15A is the thinnest standard, single layer fire UL 1978 (Sections 12 & 13)
resistant wrap that has passed the UL1978 test which
simulates a grease duct fire. With its excellent Surface Burning Characteristics (ASTM E 84)
insulating capabilities, it is an ideal choice for tight Foil Encapsulated Blanket:
