FIRE RETARDANT SYSTEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Marketed by :

INTRODUCTION• We at Multi kilfire believe strongly in the adage “PREVENTION IS BETTER

THAN CURE”. Active Fire Systems which include hydrants, sprinklers & smoke detectors, come into play only after the fire breaks out; whereas Passive Systems help in preventing and retarding fires. While Passive systems cannot be considered to be an alternative to Active systems, they definitely rationalize the need for extensive deployment of Active Systems. A marriage between both types of systems is not only physically safer but also more cost effective.

FIRE RETARDANT COATING FOR ELECTRICAL CABLES – KF600

EFFECTIVENESS OF FIRE RETARDANT COATING

Functions by limiting the oxygen drawn from the atmosphere, thereby inhibiting the combustion and heat build-up process in the immediate vicinity of the cable insulation.

The coating converts the bunch of cables into one coated cable and compartmentalizes an uncoated fire zone from the coated non – fire zone.

Dissipates the heat generated by the fire and thereby prevents heat conduction.

KF 604 – FIRE STOP BARRIERS.

NOMENCLATURE – DIFFERENT NAMES

• FIRE STOP COMPOUND• FIRE STOP BARRIER• FIRE SEALING SYSTEM• FIRE PENETRATION SEALING SYSTEM• FIRE COMPARTMENTILISATION• FIREPROOF SEALING• FPSS

DESCRIPTION

THESE ARE MORTAR-TYPE FIRE BARRIERS, WITH A THREE HOUR FIRE RATING, WHICH ARE INSTALLED IN OPENINGS (FLOOR / WALL) WHERE CABLES / CABLE TRAYS PASS FROM ONE ROOM TO THE OTHER OR FOR SEALING OPENINGS UNDER ELECTRIC SWITCH GEAR, LIKE HT AND LT CONTROL PANELS. THEY PREVENT FIRE FROM SPREADING FROM ONE ROOM TO THE OTHER.

TECHNICAL DATAThe system has been successfully tested at the only approved CSIR Laboratory for such a product at CBRI, Rourkee. The parameters tested for is highlighted hereunder:

a. Impact Test b. Accelerated Ageing. c. Water Absorption. d. Vibration Test. e. Fire Resistance Evaluation. f. Hose Stream evaluation. g. F – Rating h. T – Rating.

Single Component non – combustible system. Designed for 3 (three) hour fire rating. Segregates / compartmentalizes fire and non – fire zones. Compatible with all types of cable jacketing material. No effect due to vibration, impact and radiation. Mechanically strong and can bear drop loads. Retrofitting very easy without special tools. Conforms to Indian and International standards. No imported components. Indigenously developed. Maintenance free. Asbestos free. Expected life – will last the life of the cable.

FIRE TEST AT CBRI ROURKEE

• Electrical cables are extensively used in all major industries. These are mostly run through underground cable tunnels, trenches, overhead cable trays and ducts. Any fire incidence in the vicinity of these may result in spread of fire along the cable trays as modern production facilities demand long run of power and control cables all over the Plant area.

FIRE TEST AT CBRI ROURKEE

• The fire safety can be enhanced by providing Fire Stop Barriers at different intervals and by sealing the openings.

• The complete cable Barrier should be thoroughly evaluated before its installation for providing compartmentation

FIRE TEST AT CBRI ROURKEE• We sponsored the Project to evaluate the

performance of our cable Fire Barrier KF-604 with respect to furnace heating conditions and other appropriate procedures specified in relevant Standards.

• The Fire Research Laboratory at Rourkee approved by CSIR Laboratory has established standard facilities conforming to various National and International Standards for evaluating Fire Resistance of different type of systems.
