Product Details

FIREX EC 43                                                                                    Water immersion /weather resistant intumescent fire protection coating, for combustible electrical & communication cables                   Long runs of unprotected, PVC or plastic rubber sheathed combustible cables, usually supported by cable trays, are prone to rapid fire spread /generation of toxic smoke /acid gases and can thus cause excessive damage to men & materials. Unprotected cables burn & propogate fire after only a few minutes of exposure to fire/ flames. Power required for vital control functions, supplies and services fails very quickly. Burning cable sheaths carry the fire rapidly forwards and the burning PVC gives off aggressive toxic vapours. Indirect damage from cable fires (fire travel, breakdowns, corrosion resulting from harmful gases affecting sensitive instruments), is generally greater than the fire damage, initially visible. Cable fire suppression coatings are thus a critical step in achieving fire safety, and ideally they should provide the following three key protections:                                                                1. FIRE RESISTANCE : Protection of cables against direct fire exposure /fire survivability - circuit integrity : (Governing international test standard - IEC 60331-11)                                  2. FLAME RETARDANCE : Prevention of fire propagation on cables : (Governing international test standard - IEC 60332-3-21, IEEE 383 & FM 3971)                                                                               3. SMOKE PREVENTION : Preventing toxic smoke generation /Outgassing : (Governing international test standard – NES-713 & NCD-1409)                                                                                 In addition, the above two protections, should be tested & certified, for a minimum period of >30 minutes, ideally at a fire temperature of >1100C (Hydrocarbon). The longer this protection time span, naturally the more superior the coating /protection capability. The cable coating should also be water immersion /weathering resistant.
