3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+
Intumescent Firestop Protection
- 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant IC 15WB+ is a one-component, latex-based, intumescent firestop sealant that expands when exposed to high temperatures, helping prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and harmful gases through service penetrations and building openings.
- This easy-to-apply, gun-grade sealant dries to form a durable, monolithic fire barrier while also reducing airborne sound transmission. It is suitable for a wide range of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) applications and adheres to most common construction materials, including concrete, gypsum board, metal, wood, plastic pipes, and cable jackets.
- Engineered for both new construction and retrofit projects, it provides up to 3 hours of certified fire protection and supports compliance with international building and fire safety standards.

Key Features
Up to 3 Hours Fire Resistance
Provides certified fire protection for penetrations and joints in fire-rated assemblies for up to 3 hours.
Intumescent Technology
Expands when exposed to high temperatures to seal gaps created by melting combustible materials.
Excellent Acoustic Performance
Acts as a sound barrier with an STC rating of up to 54 when installed in tested wall assemblies.
Re-Enterable and Repairable
Allows future cable additions, maintenance work, and modifications with minimal disruption.
Easy Water Cleanup
Tools and excess material can be cleaned with water before curing.
Easy One-Part Application
Ready-to-use formulation requires no mixing and can be applied using a standard caulking gun.
Strong Adhesion
Bonds effectively to concrete, gypsum board, metals, wood, cable jackets, and various plastic materials, including CPVC.
Sag-Resistant Formula
Suitable for vertical, horizontal, and overhead applications.
Paintable Finish
Can be painted after curing to blend with surrounding surfaces.
Low VOC & Halogen-Free
Environmentally responsible formulation that supports green building requirements.
