IS:12459 Compliant
System Overview
Short circuits and electrical faults in grouped power cable trays represent the leading cause of catastrophic industrial and commercial fires. When burning cables ignite, fire travels rapidly along cable galleries, spreading through entire floors in minutes.
Safe Tech Fire Solution provides specialized fire-retardant coating applied over electrical cables and conduits conforming to IS:12459. Using high-performance Firex EC-43, our certified coating expands upon exposure to heat, forming an insulating ceramic char barrier that halts flame spread and prevents cable jacket ignition while preserving cable ampacity.
Key Technical Specifications & Features
- Applied strictly according to IS:12459 guidelines for electrical cable installations
- Firex EC-43 coverage: 13.3 m² per 20kg bucket at 0.8mm Dry Film Thickness (DFT) (3.3 m² per 5kg bucket)
- Non-toxic, halogen-free, water-based ablative formulation with zero toxic gas release
- Maintains electrical current-carrying capacity without causing cable derating
- Resists oil, water, chemicals, and industrial environmental degradation
- Seamless airless spray application over bunched cables and perforated trays
