Cable Protection Coating in a Fire Demonstration by Fire Security Middle East, Ajman.

We’re going to run a live fire demonstration here to demonstrate how our coating systems react when exposed to a direct flame. Our coating systems FS1 and FS5 are certified to withstand 1100 degrees for a period of 60 minutes. The coating will expand more than 100 times its application thickness. What has expanded will essentially just turn into powder formation which we can remove, and you will see underneath that there is still some paint left. If we reapply the heat, the coating will continue to expand. But you can see, if I take the flame away, there is very minimal smoke. Now we will expose the uncoated cable to demonstrate how fast it starts to give off poisonous smoke and catch fire. The PVC is slowly starting to catch, and once it catches, the fire will run. It’s on fire within 30 seconds. Soon the PVC has reached its flash point, it’s over 982 degrees Celsius. It’s giving off hydrochloric gas which kills human beings. The toxic gases also attack all other electrical components, and as a result you’ll have multiple areas, multiple systems down within a very short period of time. Cutting the coated cable open, we see that the cables underneath are still intact, so we have protected our client against loss of production and loss of life.
