Passive fire protection construction components are used to resist, retard and isolate flames and the associated smoke and fumes: they do not in themselves extinguish flames hence they are classed as 'passive protection'.

A key design requirement for passive fire protection systems concerns public safety - the guarantee of a specific resistance / retardation time increases the time available for the evacuation of a building. Times vary between 30 minutes up to 4 hours retardation, dependent on the particular product and application.

The flame retardant and smoke stopping capabilities of these construction components also enables rescue and emergency services to undertake their job in a more controlled environment. Finally damage to the building, contents and surroundings by flames or smoke may be significantly reduced by a passive fire protection system.

The need to protect property from any natural disaster or fire is of prime importance to most builders and occupiers. The occurrence of fires at homes, residential buildings, commercial building or other establishments can also be due to an electrical fault. Electrical cables are usually insulated with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), which even if are fire rated also produce highly poisonous and corrosive gases upon combustion. Smoke emitted by burning cables hinders fire fighting and approach to the area of fire.

Fire in cables can spread as fast as 20 meters per minute or let’s say the entire cable of a six story building will be totally on fire in less than 3 minutes.

We are marketing Passive Fire Protection systems for Cables (Electrical, Instrumentation, Communication and Control Panel etc), rejuvenation of fire rated cables due to aging and exposure to extreme weather and penetration fire stopping / sealing systems. We are delivering innovative passive fire protection solutions which are essential to safeguard your assets. Please go through our system brochure for KBS products.
