Fire Rated Movement Joint Pyrotx from Unison Joints

PyroTx is a high performance range of fire rated movement joint systems by Unison Joints. Since their inception in 2002, Unison Joints is a recognised leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of expansion joints and architectural finishes in Australia. With PyroTx, the company offers an even more diversified catalogue of service to industry professionals across the country, as well as to offshore construction markets.
What are expansion joints?
Commercial building codes have developed new trends for the design of structural gaps, especially in large-scale infrastructure. These larger gaps accommodate movement due to various factors, such as thermal changes, wind velocity, unequal concrete settling, concrete creep, shrinkage and seismic activity. Structural gaps are transitioned by architectural expansion joint covers, resulting in trafficable finishes to ensure the safety of pedestrians-pushing-trolleys and other traffic such as maintenance and passenger vehicles.
What are Pyrotx fire rated movement joint systems?
With a track record spanning two decades, Unison Joints has grown a wide range of expansion joint systems for all kinds of architectural and structural situations and functionalities. The product development team has successfully achieved advancement in the modern design of floor and floor-wall expansion joints (Flexo), wall and ceiling joints (Vertos), specialised waterseal systems (Aquo), among others. For fire rated movement joint systems, Unison Joints offers PyroTx B and PyroTx I.

Py B is a fire blanket system, with high fire resistance of up to -/120/120 in gaps of 250 mm and over. In addition, Py B provides high capacity structural, thermal and seismic movement from all directions. Py B can be installed on floors, as well as walls, and 1 blanket seals from active fire on both sides of the wall. The PyB system is compatible with various Unison cover plate and waterseal systems. Py B has been certified to Australian and British standards, namely AS 1530.4, citing the methods for fire tests on building materials, components and structures; AS 4072.1, citing the components for the protection of openings in fire-resistant separating elements, and BS 476.20, citing the methods for determining the fire resistance of construction elements. Modern building design, and Australian Standards and codes have meant that, whilst competitors' products are being removed and replaced from building projects, Unison's fireseals hold strong and compliant.
Py I is also a high movement Uniseal fire seal, specially designed for simple installation via insertion into masonry walls and floors. The firesealing system comes in a range of sizes, suitable for gaps of 20mm up to 100m in both indoor and outdoor applications. PyroTx I has fire ratings of 2/3/4 hours, and facility to structural, thermal and seismic movement. In addition, Py I has been tested to AS 1530.4, AS 4071.2, and BS 476.20. Certificates of compliance are available and consumers should note that it is a breach of the Building Code Australia to install non-compliant fireseals. It is therefore imperative good-quality, compliant Unison product be employed.
