UGAMCOAT 290908 FIREPROOF COATING FOR ELECTRICAL CABLES

UGAMCOAT 290908 is tested and certified for 2 hour rating by Government of India's National Test House Mumbai. UGAMCOAT 290908 is tested and certified by IEC 60332 testing, CPRI (NABL accredited).
We are specialized in manufacturing Fire retardant coatings. Product widely being used as fire retardant for buildings, furniture, electrical appliances, electrical lines and near flammable area to avoid fire hazards. We have separate coatings for walls, wood, cable and steel. For steel we have different coatings for interior atmosphere and exterior atmosphere. The fire ratings of the coating depend on the thickness of the coating and are directly proportional to the thickness. Fire rating means the surface will be protected for that much time. These ratings are 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes or half hour, one hour and two hours. The purpose is for getting the time till help arrives to protect property and lives. These coatings require fire rated primer followed by fire retardant intermediate coating and then finally the topcoat on the top. Primer is applied in single coat and is different for different surfaces. Intermediate coating thickness is different for different ratings and different surfaces. The topcoat requires two coats. The topcoat is necessary for protection of intermediate coat and also for providing aesthetic value to the surface. We provide the test certificate for each batch we produce and the tests are done as per ASTM test procedures.

FEATURES
Water base, in tumescent, fire retardant, flexible and thin coating for cables and cable trays. Thin film coating approximately 800 microns provides reliable fire protection without causing premature ageing or overheating of cables. Halogen and asbestos free coating. Rating of electrical cables is not reduced. Escape routes and power supply can be used for longer time. Flame spread and insulation damages are delayed in case of prolonged exposure to fire. Minimizes smoke generation thereby permitting use in enclosed areas. Burning drips and burning cable fragment drops are minimized to greater extent. Coated surfaces will not catch fire or ignite or spread fire. Meets many stringent international fire standards. Best coating with the highest fire protection amongst the coatings of this class. Chemically converts nitrogen oxide and chlorine produced during burning of cables to foam and charring material thereby reducing the possibility of toxic gasses emission.

HOW IT WORKS
It forms foam when temperature reaches 200 degrees Celsius. This foam is heat and fire resistant and almost non conductive. This keeps the surface away from heat and hence does not allow the surface to receive or conduct the heat in other areas. Also since this forms foam and a charred layer, it does not allow oxygen to reach to the surface over which it is applied. Hence it protects the surface from catching fire.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Areas should be cleaned, dried and made free from oil and dust. Surface temperature should be greater than 20 degrees C Stir the can properly. Observe the viscosity for brushing / airless spraying. Add soft water if required. Apply minimum two coats or as per requirement to achieve 800 microns dry film thickness. If smooth and decorative finish is required apply UGAM EPOXY TOP COAT (suitable for intumescent coating). No primer is required for this system if to be applied over cables. But if application is over metallic surfaces, UGAM ZINC RICH PRIMER should be applied.
