Intumescent Door Seal:
When the intumescent seal is exposed to high temperature (above 250°F), it expands to as much as 8 times it's original thickness. In this expanded or reactive state, it has very high thermal insulating capacity and resistance to breakdown. This provides a strong positive seal between the door and body, preventing heat influx.
