Open state cavity barrier for ventilated cavities
ARC OSCB cavity barriers are designed in cavities that require ventilation. The cavity barrier is made of non-combustible mineral wool with a reactive intumescent layer that can support an air gap of up to 25mm or 44mm.
When exposed to heat in a fire, the intumescent layer rapidly expands, sealing the air gap and inhibiting vertical fire expansion within the exterior wall cavity. Suitable for installation horizontally, ARC OSCB open state cavity barriers should be combined with ARC Fire Stop Slab installed vertically for a comprehensive cavity barrier solution.

- Either 60min or 120min fire integrity
- 25mm or 44mm air gap for ventilated cavity
- Tested for ASFP TGD19 standards

Cavity Stop Socks
A cavity in the external wall functions as a chimney, allowing flames, hot gases, and smoke to travel from one section of a building to another. Stop socks are blocks of fire-resistant materials that seal cavities in the wall to prevent the spread of a fire.
