CHARCOAT CC
FIRE RATED CABLE PROTECTION
WATER-BASED INTUMESCENT CABLE COATING FOR THE FIRE PROTECTION OF ELECTRICAL CABLES UPTO 90 MINUTES UNDER HYDROCARBON CONDITIONS
CharCoat CC Cable Coating is a water-based intumescent Latex coating developed for the fire and ampacity protection of single, grouped or bundled electrical cables.
Originally formulated in the 1970’s to prevent spread of flame along the cable surface, CharCoat CC has become the leader in Cable Protection, stopping flame spread on the cable surface, withstanding cellulosic fires of 750°C for 90 minutes, and most importantly, Hydrocarbon fires (1100°C) on electrical cables(S) for 90 minutes at a very low DFT. The only accessible Hydrocarbon Cable Coating on the market today.
CharCoat CC forms a protective intumescent char when exposed to flame or to a temperature above 175°C. This char should be removed completely and clean cables should be recoated if intumescence should occur. Thee is no need to replace cable that has been subjected to fire as CharCoat CC sacrifices itself to save the cable (as long as the cable is functioning).
