Using intumesent firestop sealants to air seal electrical outlets in fire rated walls.

We are trying to determine if there are any issues with using standard firestop sealants such as STI LCI-305 or Hilti CP606 to air seal the exterior of electrical outlets. Looks like the stuff will shrink but is it enough to compromise the air seal ? Can anyone suggest an alternative product or method for air sealing outlets in a min. 1-hr rated partition wall ? The Hilti 601 product is elastomeric but costs a fortune, there must be an alternative. Thanks !
