FLAMESAFE® C700+ CABLE COATINGELASTOMERIC SPRAY

Electrical cables can potentially be a majorsource of fuel for fires in the industrial andutility environment. Plastics make excellentjacketing materials for electrical cablesbecause of their flexibility, chemical resist-ance, insulation resistance and dielectricproperties. While plastics can be formulatedto be somewhat fire resistant, they candegrade under fire conditions.Cables may provide a source of fuel for a fire.The addition of industrial or utility contami-nants, such as paper pulp dust or coal dust,add to the dangers by providing fuel that isreadily ignitable by welding sparks or evenspontaneous combustion.FlameSafe® C700+ Elastomeric Spray isdesigned to limit the propagation of fire on elec-trical conductors such as cables in trays, loosecable bundles and other cable installations.For over 25 years, major utilities and corpora-tions have made RectorSeal’s products the

Benefits• Factory Mutual approved• Passes IEEE 1202 Flame Testing of Cables

for use in Cable Tray• Resilient/UV and weather resistant• No ampacity reduction• Halogen free; no solvents or inorganic fibers• Higher solids, better coverage, greater

economyDescriptionFlameSafe C700+ Elastomeric Spray is awater-based, ready-to-use, spray. FactoryMutual approved, it is designed to preventvertical or horizontal propagation of firealong grouped or single cables. C700+ issuitable for interior or exterior applications.It is UV resistant and virtually unaffected byradiation exposure.C700+ adheres to almost any surface and issafe for all types of cable insulation. It doesnot contain solvents, plasticizers, asbestos orother hazardous inorganic fibers.

FlameSafe C700+ Cable Coating Elastomeric Spray

ApplicationFlameSafe C700+ Elastomeric Spray may beapplied to the entire cable run or, if specified,at intervals of 10 to 20 ft (3 to 6 m) to serveas fire breaks [3 ft (1 m) coated length forhorizontal trays; 5 ft (1.5 m) coated length forvertical trays].C700+ can be used in applications such asgenerating stations, substations, transformervaults, manholes, power distribution systemsin high rise buildings, fire hazard areas of oilrefineries, paper mills and industrial complexes.InstallationFlameSafe C700+ Elastomeric Spray isconductive until dry. Do not apply to ener-gized electrical conductors. Always applyunder supervision of plant electrician orsafety manager.C700+ is supplied in 5 gal pails and 55 galdrums (19 L pails and 208 L drums). It isspecifically designed for application byairless sprayer. However, small or touch-upareas may be brushed or troweled. C700+should be at room temperature for best appli-cation. Surface and air temperatures should bebetween 40°F to 90°F (4°C to 32°C) forstorage and application. All surfaces to beprotected should be free of loose dirt and oil.

Apply C700+ in thin layers. If applying morethan one coat, allow 2 to 4 hours drying timebetween coats. Under normal conditions,C700+ dries to touch in 2 hours andcompletely dries in 48 hours. Time requiredfor drying will vary according to environmen-tal conditions.Airless Spray ApplicationCare should be exercised in selecting theproper equipment. All wetted parts of thespray pump should be specified to resist abra-sion. The use of high-density polyethyleneseals in place of the standard PTFE seals willgreatly extend the service life of the pump andreduce downtime. The following represents atypical unit suitable for use with C700+:

Equipment PreparationRemove inlet filter strainer, outlet filter andfilter support. Set pressure to 1,000 psi(6895 kPa) tip pressure, 100 ft (30.5 m) of.375 in. (9.5 mm) airless hose is the maximumlength. Clean all equipment with water imme-diately after use. Any unused C700+ shouldbe resealed tightly in original container.EstimatingOne gallon of C700+ will coat 18.5 ft2

(0.4 m2/L) at a recommended dry filmthickness of 63 mils/0.063 in. (1.6 mm).The wet film thickness required to yield therecommended dry thickness is 85–90 mils/0.085–0.09 in. (2.1–2.3 mm). When applyingby airless sprayer allow for material wastedue to overspray. All exposed surfaces shouldbe coated. Calculate all exposed surface areaas follows:

A = [W+H] x 2 x L whereA = Area to be coated (ft2 or m2)W = Cable tray widthH = Cable tray heightL = Cable tray length
