FAQs of Fire Proof Paints/Barriers/Sealants for Cables:
Q: How does intumescent fireproof paint protect electrical cables during a fire?
A: Intumescent fireproof paint reacts to high temperatures by expanding up to 40 times its original thickness. This expansion forms an insulating barrier around cables, slowing down heat transfer, blocking smoke, and maintaining circuit integrity for up to 120 minutes.
Q: What standards do these fireproof paints and sealants comply with?
A: Our products comply with UL, IS:12458, ASTM E814, BS476 Part 20/22, and EN1366-3 standards, ensuring reliable fire protection across various industrial regulations and requirements.
Q: When can the painted or sealed cables be put back into service after application?
A: Cables can be handled when the coating is touch dry, which takes approximately 2 hours at 27C. However, for full fire resistance and performance, a curing time of 7 days is recommended before putting the assembly fully back into service.
Q: Where is the best location to store unopened fireproof sealant containers?
A: Store the original, unopened containers in a cool, dry place, protected from freezing. This ensures a shelf life of 12-18 months and keeps the product in optimal condition for use.
Q: What are the advantages of using this fireproof cable sealant in industrial or commercial premises?
A: Benefits include up to 2 hours of fire resistance, non-toxic and low-VOC formulation, robust adhesion to varied substrates, resistance to water, chemicals, and mechanical stress, and suitability for use even in high-humidity environments up to 95% RH, non-condensing.
Q: How should the fireproof coating be applied for the best results?
A: For optimal results, apply the sealant or paint using a brush, spatula, cartridge gun, or spray, ensuring a minimum 4-hour interval between coats. Allow a full curing period of 7 days at 27C for maximum fire protection.
Q: What packaging options are available for distributors and suppliers in India?
A: We offer packaging in plastic or metal buckets, cartridges, and pails in standard sizes (5 or 20 litres) or as per custom requirements, making them ideal for suppliers, traders, and wholesalers across India.
