Powered by Tenmat FF107 Intumescent Technology

BrandGuard’s ember-resistant vents incorporate Tenmat FF107 intumescent strips as an active layer of wildfire defense. In normal conditions the strips are inactive, allowing full airflow through the vent. When temperatures rise to dangerous levels during a wildfire, the FF107 strips expand rapidly to seal the vent opening – blocking embers and preventing flames from entering the home.

Tenmat FF107 is a UL Recognized Component (Category OEXX2) for intumescent materials, tested to ASTM E84 with a Flame Spread Index and Smoke Developed Value of 0. It is the same intumescent technology contractors use to properly fire rate penetration seals for pipes, pipe and duct fire wraps, and fire collars.

Complete Fire Protection: Inside and Out

For projects in wildfire-prone areas – including multi-family housing, condominiums, and townhomes in WUI zones – fire protection works on two fronts. In the interior, Tenmat’s Fire-Rated Covers reinforce ceiling assemblies penetrated from recessed fixtures, LED wafers, and in-ceilings. On the exterior, BrandGuard ember-resistant vents protect air ventilation systems from the threat of wind-blown embers.

Together, the two systems provide a complete passive fire protection specification for Type V-A construction. Both are built with Tenmat’s Advanced Intumescent Technology.
