The heat-expanding gasket:
a new product from Panozzo
Under normal conditions, it measures just a few millimeters, but when the temperature rises, it can expand to 10 times its initial volume: intumescent gaskets begin to activate at 150 °C in the presence of hot fumes, gradually increasing their volume and helping to create a barrier against the spread of flames, gases, and fumes. To accommodate various design requirements, the gasket is available in multiple configurations: standard in anthracite, co-extruded in various colors, and a WOOD version with a mechanical insert designed to fit “U”-shaped wooden frames for glass doors.
