1. Copper conductor2. Elastomer insulation3. Firox® / Pyronax® tape4. Outer sheath

Firox® / Pyronax® tape is applied to a cluster of insulated conduc-tors. Firox® / Pyronax® not only provides electrical insulation but also acts as a flame barrier.

Firox® / Pyronax® is a flexible tape which can be applied using all standard vertical or longitudinal taping equipment. Our production method ensures maximum regula rity of the winding tension, up to 100 N/cm, enabling high winding speeds of up to 3000 rpm.

Firox® / Pyronax® is particularly suit-able for extrusions using elastomers,

such as cross-linked polyethylene, polypropylene, fluorated polymers and silicone rubber.

The way in which a cable is con-structed depends on the specific requirements imposed upon the cable. Firox® / Pyronax® can be applied in one or more layers, usually with a 20-50% overlap.

Supply form and packaging Firox® / Pyronax® is available on a 1000 mm-wide master roll or in cut widths. These may be supplied on reels (tape width ranging from 4 mm to 500 mm) or on traverse wound spools (tape width ranging from 4 mm to 15 mm).Thanks to its ongoing adaptation to the market requirements, Cogebi offers a wide range of reels and spools compatible with commercially available machines.

Tape lengths: - reels:

up to maximum 2200 m depending on the type, width and amount of splices in the tape

- traverse wound spools: from 2000 to 15000 m, depending on type and width.

Label:A label affixed inside the ring identi-fies the product and trace it rapidly.Packaging:Cogebi’s packaging guarantees that the Firox® / Pyronax® will not be deteriorated during transpor tation and facilitates its unpacking at the cable manufacturer.Storage: No special storage conditions are required.Shelf life:36 months at room temperature (20°C / 68°F).

The product

The applications Thanks to its outstanding properties,Firox® / Pyronax® tape is used in: - command and instrumentation

cables- signal and control cables- data cables- supply and power cables- cables operating at high

temperatures up to 400°C (752°F)- fiber optic cables.

Cable applications include emergency lighting, smoke extractors, telephones, lifts, signal equipment, control and command units, emergency pumps and

IT centers in order to guarantee maximum safety and to ensure that such equipment, which is strategically important during a fire, continues to function.

These cables are fitted in hospitals, airports, high-rise apartments, cinemas, hotels, department stores, tunnels, underground railways and in industrial and military installations such as thermal or nuclear electric power stations, steel works, petrochemical complexes, off-shore platforms, telecommunication centers.

Firox® / Pyronax® tape: - is asbestos-free and forms a

unique barrier against flames- does not propagate flames- enables the electric cable to

function in flames and at high temperatures, even up to 1000°C (1832°F)

- Muscovite and Phlogopite micas are non-combustible and therefore adds virtually no heat

- allows to reduce the quantity of thermoplastics in a cable, thereby reducing the volume of toxic gases and fumes emitted during a fire

- can also delay the release of these gases and fumes

- is chemically neutral, non-toxic and totally halogen-free

- is acid and alkaline-resistant- is vibration and shock-resistant- is water-resistant- is resistant to radiation up to 10

Rad- is corona-resistant.

The standards

The properties ofFirox® / Pyronax®

Firox® / Pyronax® tape is made of Phlogopite or Muscovite mica paper of various weights (from 63 to 160 gr/m2) or thicknesses, impregnated with a high performance heat-resistant silicon resin. To increase the tensile strength, it is reinforced with a support of glass fiber or polyethylene film.

Cogebi’s proprietary manufacturing process produces a dry, non-adhesive tape that is flexible and perfectly adapted to the production methods used for taping cables.

The advantages of mica Cogebi manufactures Firox® / Pyronax® tape using Muscovite or Phlogopite mica, the most suitable mica insula tion for cables subjected to a flame or to high temperatures.

Thermal resistanceCables insulated with Firox® / Pyronax® tapes can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F).These materials are non-combustible and do not propagate flames.

Electrical resistivityBoth Muscovite mica and Phlogopite mica have a resistivity in excess of 10

10 ohm/cm.

Dielectric strengthThe dielectric strength of mica remains high even at temperatures of 1000°C (1832°F) or more.

EnvironmentMica and derived products comply with the latest international environmental standards.

Cogebi Group, the world leader in the production of mica-based insulations, distributes Firox® / Pyronax® tapes worldwide. These tapes are designed to protect fire-resistant electrical and fiber optic cables. Cogebi has always guaranteed the quality of its products and services by a general policy of excellence:- ongoing technological innovation- commercial policy giving preference to direct contacts with its customers- R&D policy of technical support to its customers and industrial partners- management policy of manufacturing and control of the entire production

chain from the mineral to the finished product- Certified Quality System monitoring the various production stages

assuring product traceability and offering product documentation and certification

- investment policy enabling expansion of production capacity in order to ensure the shortest possible lead times

- investment in state of the art production technology.Therefore the Firox® / Pyronax® range of tapes is since 25 years a reference among the leading world producers of electric cables.
