FIRE RESISTANT CABLE COATING COMPOUND
 
  • FIRE RESISTANT CABLE COATING COMPOUND is a asbestos free, non-toxic, single component ready to use inorganic compound which prevent the propagation of fire along electrical cables.

  • Compound when exposed to Fire starts intumescent immediately thereby forming a char on the cables and acts as on barrier for the substrate against flame and heat, hence not allowing propagation of fire along electrical cables.

  • Application: Pre-application surface shall be free of dust, grease & Oil.  Cable Coating should be thoroughly stirred before application.  The Coating shall be applied by normal brushing application on the cable first a thin layer allow it to touch dry then second coat shall be applied, if required third coat can be applied to achieve a wet film thickness of 2 mm which shall give a dry film thickness of 1.5 mm.

  • THE INDUSTRY PRACTICE for Fire Resistant of Cable Coating are: -
  • Shall be applied 2 meters in bunched cables running horizontally at an intermittent distance of 10 meters.

  • All the vertical runs shall be fully coated as the Fire travels faster in verticals with the draft effect.

  • Cables at all entry / exit points up to 2 meters

  • Cables in High Heat zones.

  • Cables at crises-crossings all sides up to 2 meters

  • Cables in area of Oil / Lubricant spillage, coal dust etc.
