Unifrax's FyreWrap® Cable Insulation is a thin, flexible, insulation wrap designed to provide a fire-protective enclosure around cable trays and conduit. The FyreWrap system ensures electrical circuit integrity during exposure to an external hydrocarbon fire, permitting continued operation or controlled shutdown of critical equipment during emergency conditions. This system is FM Global approved and meets ASTM E-1725 "Fire Tests of Fire-Resistive Barrier Systems for Electrical System Components," the industry standard, requiring the highest level of performance for trays with zero to full cable loading. The system also meets ASTM E-1529 and provides circuit integrity ratings. FyreWrap complies with API and ExxonMobil specifications on fireproofing for petroleum and petrochemical processing plants.Product Components- Core Material: FyreWrap Cable Insulation products incorporate Insulfrax® Thermal Insulation as its core material. Insulfrax is a high-temperature insulation made from calcia, magnesia, silica chemistry designed to enhance biosolubility. It provides excellent insulation in a noncombustible blanket form.
- Encapsulating Material: The core insulation is completely encapsulated in an aluminum foil, fiberglass-reinforced scrim covering. This scrim provides additional handling strength as well as protection from tearing and moisture absorption. For outdoor installations, additional weather protection should be considered.
