Cable Coating: An Integral Part of Passive Fire Protection

Passive Fire Protection is one of the essential components of structural fire protection and fire safety in a building. Basically, Passive fire protection tries to contain fires, reduces the spread and averts damage to cables and circuits. Cable Fire Protection can be achieved through use of fire-resistant walls, floors, and doors etc. Passive fire protection systems must act in accordance with the associated Listing and approval use and compliance in order to provide the effectiveness expected by building codes. Cable Coating is one of the methods used in this effectively. These protection systems help in minimizing building damage to a good effect, in case a fire breaks out and provides residents with enough time to evacuate affected areas.

Cable Coating is a method used widely in Passive Fire Protection. It assists in preventing fire spread in clustered electrical cables and prevents smoke development. Fire Security Systems Cable Coating have been tested and approved not only by FM (FM Global), but by IEC 60331-21 to show that Fire Security Systems Cable Coating can endure and FIRE RATE Cables for up to 90 minutes at DFT of 1mm, the thinnest on the market today.

Fire Stopping System offers faultless resistance toward fire swell due to its structural mechanism. The main feature in Fire Security Systems Cable Coating is its ability to prolong short circuiting. Cable Fire Protection or Fireproofing can be done via Fireproofing Spray, Fireproof Paint, Fireproofing on Steel and many more. Most common and easy way to protect is using Fireproofing spray on electrical cable, electrical cable penetrations and structural Steel. The coating can be applied through conventional methods like spraying, brushing or manually by hand. Ablation is the technique used to do the job, not insulation. The material is thick, eventually requiring a large amount of energy for disintegration. Its strong molecular composition ensures it is strong enough to even withstand fire flames. During fire outbreak, our product begins to ablate through chemical and physical reactions at the time of contact with fire. The ablation process makes the cable use huge energy with the cables being kept cool. The gases generated during process are capable enough to push oxygen away from the place, thus neutralizing flammable gases and averting continuous reaction. Upon decomposing of organic components, the residue is a solid structure of the coating which offers further protection through insulation.

Fire Security Systems Cable Coating provides reliable, maintenance free, low cost fire

protection that few, if any other, system can match. Fire Security Systems Cable Coating also protects cable insulation from exposure to fires such as those caused by lube oil or other flammable material that may accumulate around cable trays. The protection time frame that Fire Security Systems Cable Coating can provide to protect electrical cables from a fire before the insulation begins to deteriorate will depend on the intensity of the flame, type and size of cables, type of insulation and other variables.

Fire Security Systems cable coating prevents fire spread along vertical and horizontal cable ways. Protect your industry from the risk of fire outbreaks. For more information on Fire Stopping, Cable Fire Protection and Cable Coating kindly visit http://www.fire-security.net
