Pemko HSS2000 Adhesive Mounted Intumescent Hot Smoke Seal - Graphite
The Pemko HSS2000 is a high-performance surface-applied intumescent edge sealing system engineered to maintain the integrity of door assemblies during a fire. Constructed from a chemically inert, expandable graphite strip, this seal is designed to react to intense heat by expanding to fill the gaps between the door and frame. This expansion creates a "Hot Smoke Seal" that effectively blocks the passage of lethal hot gases and smoke, ensuring your facility remains compliant with UL 10C Positive Pressure standards.
High-Performance & Life Safety Features
- Expandable Graphite Technology: Unlike fiber-based products, this graphite-based strip is highly stable and provides superior protection against both hot smoke and hot gases.
- Economical Compliance: Allows standard door assemblies to meet Category G (Edge Seal) requirements, offering a more cost-effective alternative to purchasing specially modified "tested assembly only" doors.
- Environmental Durability: The material is unaffected by moisture, carbon dioxide, or ozone, ensuring it will not degrade over time like cellulose-based competitive products.
- Maintenance-Free Design: Once installed, the HSS2000 does not require periodic aftermarket field inspections, providing a long-term "set-it-and-forget-it" safety solution.
- Architectural Versatility: The graphite finish can be painted to blend perfectly with the existing finish of your door or frame without compromising its fire-protective properties.

Pro-Tip for Fire Safety Inspections
The Pemko HSS2000 is specifically designed for Category B doors that require an additional edge-sealing system to meet positive pressure requirements. To ensure a professional bond, the surface of the frame or door edge must be thoroughly cleaned with an alcohol-based cleaner to remove grease and oils before application. Because this is a surface-applied seal, it is the ideal choice for retrofitting existing openings that have failed recent fire door inspections.
