Other Products ｜Metacaulk Putty Sticks - Case of 12

Metacaulk Putty is a moldable, non-curing, one-component fire-rated material designed for through-penetration firestop systems.
When exposed to fire, the intumescent formula expands and forms an insulating char that helps prevent the spread of flames, smoke, gas, and water through penetrations.
Designed for easy installation in commercial, residential, and industrial applications, Metacaulk Putty provides reliable passive fire protection without mixing or special tools. Its flexible formulation allows quick application around cables, conduits, metal pipes, electrical boxes, and other approved penetrations.
Key Features

Non-curing, moldable, one-component firestop material.
