PC-Fire shield® CC 650

Firestop cable coating

PC-Fire shield® CC 650 fireproof cable coating for wires and cables incorporates cutting-edge intumescent technology. This heavy-duty coating, designed for interior applications, serves to effectively inhibit the spread of flames. In the event of a fire, the coating swiftly expands to create a protective foam char layer, curtailing the propagation of fire. Notably, PC-Fire shield® CC 650 is water-based, asbestos-free, non-halogenated, and environmentally friendly. Compliant with UL 1709 hydrocarbon temperature curve standards, this innovative coating can safeguard cables for up to 120 minutes at 1,100°C.

ADVANTAGES

  • Intumescent material.
  • Water-soluble, odorless, and solvent-free composition.
  • Exempt from fibers and asbestos.
  • Preserves the cable capacity unaffected.
  • Rapid drying with retained flexibility post-drying.
  • Compatible with the external coating of electrical cables.

AREAS OF APPLICATION

  • Surfaces to be coated must be clean and dry. Use a dry rag to remove any oil, grease, and dirt prior to cable coating application.
  • Mix PC-Fire shield® CC650 cable coating thoroughly by a power agitator before application. Thinner is normally not required. If necessary, use potable water (3% max.) to adjust viscosity. Water is also used for tools and spray machine cleaning.
  • Coating can be applied by means of airless spray equipment in a single pass, not more than 1mm-1.2mm (wet coating thickness) to prevent slumping. Surface shall be measured using a wet film thickness gauge. If applying coating by brush or roller, it may be required to apply thinner coats to prevent slumping. The coating
    should be applied when site temperature is between 5° C (40° F) and 40°C (104° F) and less than 80% relative humidity. Temperature must be maintained until coating has fully dried.
  • Verify the DFT by using calipers to measure the cable before coating and once coating has fully dried.
  • Do not allow the coating material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Clean all equipment with water immediately after use.
  • All unused coating should be stored in tightly closed container. Surface skinning may show in a partially filled container. Filter the material prior to use.
