They are commonly used in buildings and construction projects to prevent the spread of flames or smoke through wall or floor penetrations, such as pipes or HVAC ducts. When exposed to high temperatures, these pillows expand and form a seal around the penetration, preventing fire from spreading to adjacent rooms or spaces. They are typically made from a combination of various materials, including graphite, ceramics, and woven fabrics, and are a critical component in ensuring the safety and compliance of modern buildings.
