International Fireproof Technology DC310 Fireproof Cable Coating

DC310 fireproof cable coating for wires and cable is developed using innovative intumescent technology. It is a heavy-duty intumescent coating for interior applications used to effectively prevent flame spread. When a fire occurs, the coating will rapidly intumesce to form a foam char layer that prevents fire propagation. DC310 fireproof cable coating is water-based, asbestos-free, non-halogenated, and environmentally-friendly. DC310 can protect cables for up to 90minutes at 1,100⁰C as per UL 1709 hydrocarbon temperature curve.

Installation Guide
  • Surfaces to be coated must be clean and dry.
  • Use a dry rag to remove any oil, grease, and dirt before cable coating application.
  • Mix DC310 cable coating thoroughly with 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 using airless spray equipment in a single pass, not more than 1 - 1.2 mm (wet coating thickness) to prevent slumping.
  • Surface shall be measured using a wet film thickness gage.
  • If applying coating by brush or roller, it may be required to apply thinner coats to prevent slumping.
  • The coating should be applied when the site temperature is between 5°C and 40°C and with 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 the coating has fully dried.
  • Do not allow the coating material to remain in hoses, guns or spray equipment.
  • Clean all equipment with water immediately after use.
  • All unused coating should be stored in a tightly closed container.
  • Surface skinning may show in a partially filled container.
  • Filter the material before use.
