Protect Electric Cables

DC6150 is designed to prevent the propagation of fire along plastic jacketed electrical cables.

DC6150/DC310 Cable Coatings are non-halogenated, asbestos-free, non-toxic, flexible, ablative or intumescent, fire retardant cable coatings designed to prevent ignition and fire propagation along plastic jacketed electrical and data cables.

Test Standards, Codes Compliance

  • FM Approval Class – 3971 for Single or Grouped Electrical Cables
  • IEEE383- Standard for Qualifying Electric Cables and Splices for Nuclear Facilities Passed at 1.5 mm
  • IEC 60332- Test of vertical flame spread on single or grouped electrical cables Passed at 0.9 mm Class 3A
  • IEEE1202 – Standard for Flame Testing of Cables for Use in Cable Tray in Industrial and Commercial Occupancies Passed 1.5 mm
  • GB28374 – Standard flame spread test of electrical cables Passed at 1.0 including fire and weather testing

DC310 Cable Coating for wires and cable is developed using innovative intumescent technology. It is a heavy duty intumescent coating for interior applications used to effectively prevent flame spread. When fire occurs, the coating will rapidly intumesce to form a foam char layer that prevents fire propagation. DC310 fireproof cable coating is water based, asbestos-free, non-halogenated and environmentally–friendly. DC310 is able to protect cables when tested at 1,100 C as specified by UL 1709 hydrocarbon temperature curve.
