In the HVAC industry, rooftop units are subjected to some of the most punishing environmental conditions, including extreme temperature fluctuations, UV radiation, and heavy moisture. When it comes to equipment installed on large-scale infrastructure, the safety standards—particularly those involving fire and smoke safety—are incredibly rigorous.

At Sevitsil, we understand that sealing these units requires more than just a basic gasket; it requires materials that meet stringent industry benchmarks, such as HL3 compliance (Hazard Level 3) under the EN 45545-2 standard.

The Challenge: Why HL3 Matters

HL3 is the highest classification for fire, smoke, and toxicity resistance. HVAC units mounted on rooftops—especially those found in transit vehicles, stations, or complex public infrastructure—pose a significant risk if a fire occurs.

Standard materials may degrade, release toxic gases, or fail to maintain a structural seal when exposed to fire. Therefore, manufacturers require sealing solutions that act as a fire barrier, ensuring that smoke density and heat release remain within strictly controlled safety limits.

Our Engineered Solution

To meet these demanding specifications, Sevitsil specializes in high-performance silicone compounds that provide a robust defense against environmental stressors while strictly adhering to safety protocols.

• Fire & Smoke Resistance: Our HL3-compliant seals are formulated to resist ignition and suppress smoke generation, preventing the spread of toxic fumes during emergencies.

• Weather-Proofing: Beyond fire safety, these seals provide an airtight and watertight barrier against rain, snow, and wind, protecting the internal components of the HVAC system from corrosion and failure.
• Thermal Stability: Because rooftop units must function in both freezing winters and scorching summers, our silicone remains flexible and resilient, ensuring the seal never cracks or loses its compression set over time.
