Flame
Control Mastics
Flame
Control Mastics are a new generation of ASBESTOS-FREE protective,
thermal barrier, coatings. They retard the spread of flame and penetration
of heat through their intumescent-sublimative-ablative and synergistic
flame supressing action. On contact with flame or excessive heat,
Flame Control Mastics decompose and expand (intumesce) forming a
thick, dense, fire barrier that shields the substrate. These mastic
coatings function in the following manner:
1.
They prevent the propagation of fire along the surface, thereby
confining the fire and minimizing damage.
2.
They protect the substrate from heat penetration during a fire,
retarding structural failure, and retarding short-circuiting of
grouped cables.
3.
When applied on electrical, control, and communication cables, the
mastic coatings greatly reduce the deadly smoke generated during
a fire, minimizing smoke damage and possible loss of life.
