TECHNICAL DATA SHEET AF CABLE COAT Self-extinguishing paint for electrical cables DESCRIPTION AF CABLE COAT is a water-based fireproof paint that substantially delays fire by combustion of the insulating coating of electrical cables. It has a good permanent elasticity and follows the physiological movements of the cables depending on the temperature variations or vibrations. The product modifies in contact with fire and releases water vapour which lowers the temperature. Afterwards, the product leaves a non-combustible residue that inhibits the ames from spreading. AF CABLE COAT prevents the fire from spreading by using electrical insulation of cables as the preferred method. It limits the fire damage to only part of the line. AF CABLE COAT paint is recommended in environments where there are large quantities of electrical cables (power plants, transformers, control rooms, data centres, etc.). DIRECT APPLICATION Electrical cables FEATURES Specific weight: Colour: Consistency Drying time: Hardening: Dry content: Tool cleaning: Application temperature: Dimensional stability (shrinkage): 1.25 Kg/l ± 0.1 white viscous paste 60 min 1.5 mm/24 hours at 20 °C >70% p.p. water 5/40 °C 0.3% approximately PACKAGING AND STORAGE 20 kg buckets The product remains unaltered if stored in its original sealed packaging at temperatures between 5° C and 35°C for six months. APPLICATION METHOD 1. clean the surfaces to be treated from dust or greasy residues 2. apply using brushes/rollers or airless spray guns for dense liquids 3. to ensure the fire is completely extinguished at the application points, the product must be applied on a linear metre every 20 metres (for horizontal sections). The certified quantity is a kg for each 100 mm wide cable tray. For example, for a 500 mm wide cable tray, the quantity required for each linear metre is: 5 kg under CEI standard 20-22/II 6.66 kg under IEC 60332-3-10 and IEC 60332-3-22. SPECIFICATION Supply and application of water-based acrylic protective AF CABLE COAT, certified under IEC 60332-3-10 and IEC 60332-3-22 for the flame retardant coating of electrical cables laid on metal cable trays.
