Always protecting #cables from fire.

Water Based Intumescent Cable Coating for the fire protection of electrical cables up to

90 minutes under Hydrocarbon Conditions.

CharCoat CC Cable Coating is a water-based Intumescent Latex coating developed for the fire protection of single, grouped or bundled electrical cables.

Originally formulated in the 1980’s to prevent spread of flame along the cable surface, CharCoat CC has become the leader in Cable Protection not only withstanding cellulosic fires of 750°C for 90 minutes, but also Hydrocarbon fires (1100°C) on electrical cable(s) for 90 minutes at a very low DFT.

CharCoat CC is a unique acrylic latex emulsion which has excellent resistance to weathering and aging and which remains flexible indefinitely allowing for cable movement and removal. It is suitable for exterior or interior applications. CharCoat CC will also prevent a short circuit within an electrical cable from starting a fire and will help identify the location of such a short circuit by forming an intumescent char at the spot.

CharCoat CC forms a protective intumescent char when exposed to flame or to a temperature above 175°C. This char should be removed completely and clean cables should be recoated if intumescence should occur. There is no need to replace cable that has been subjected to fire as CharCoat CC sacrifices itself to save the cable (as long as the cable is functioning).

CharCoat CC is easily applied by brush or spray and it adheres extremely well to cables and tray, allowing for vertical or overhead application. Care should be taken to see that cables are clean and dry before application, particularly that they are free of oil, grease and dirt. CharCoat CC should be applied in 2 coats to ensure complete coverage.
