ECONOMICS OF FIRE PROTECTION
Grouped cables, like logs in a fire place, can be ignited easily. Fires which originate in bundles of electric cables can travel from room to room through wall or floor penetrations. This is one of the most common causes of property damage and loss of human life in commercial and industrial fires.
The most comperhensive insurance programs seldom cover the full extent of lost customer service, injuries, or death caused by fires.
Losing skilled labor during plant closure can impact on future productivity. The competitive "edge" can be lost during time spent doing extensive repair work, caused by fire damage.
Industrail fires often result in costly damage and delays that could have been prevented.
Conventional fire prevention methods often fall victim to human error such as closed valves or inadequate maintenance. Mechanical failures such as broken water mains, low water pressure, corroded valves and heads, pump and switch loss, and rust can also result in loss of protection.

FLAMEMASTIC PREVENTS FIRE
FLAMEMASTIC is a system constantly at work. FLAMEMASTIC is specified whenever fire can move rapidly and endanger life or property.
FLAMEMASTIC 77 has saved millions of dollars in losses due to fires and prevented loss of life. FLAMEMASTIC Protective Coatings are produced in the United States by FLAMEMASTER COMPANY, a world leader in cable, pipe, and hose fire protection, both indoors and outdoors in key facilities around the world.
WHY FLAMEMASTIC
Flamemastic stops flame-propagation along vertical or horizontal cable ways.
Flamemastic delays damage to cables with resulting short circuit, even when exposed to intense flame impingement.
Flamemastic has negligible reduction in current carrying capacity("ampacity") of cables.
Flamemastic is flexible, to sustain moderate movement of cables.
Flamemastic is mechanically tough and can with stand walking on coated cable trays without damage to the coating.

|
Flamemastic allows the removal of single cables out of a coated cable bundle.
Flamemastic does not contain solvents which might be inflammable, toxic, or harmful to cable jackets.
Flamemastic is easily applied by spray, trowel or brush, using conventional equipment and techniques.
Flamemastic is a one-operation material, no priming and no overcoating is required, nor do the cables have to be cleaned prior to application.
Flamemastic is moisture and humidity resistant. Its fire retardant components are non-hygroscopic and the product, therefore, cannot lose its effectiveness, even after prolonged outdoor use.
Flamemastic does not loose its properties by prolonged exposure to radiation(passed simulated 30 year test for nuclear power plants).
Flamemastic is a permanent coating. It will retain all its properties upon aging.
