Enhance Fire Safety with Trafalgar Fire’s Advanced Cable Wrap Solutions

In today’s construction and industrial sectors, ensuring the fire safety of electrical installations is paramount. Electrical cables, if not adequately protected, can act as conduits for fire, leading to catastrophic consequences. Trafalgar Fire offers a range of advanced cable wrap solutions designed to enhance fire resistance and maintain circuit integrity during fire incidents.

Understanding the Importance of Cable Wraps in Fire Protection

Cable wraps serve as a protective barrier around electrical cables, preventing the spread of fire and maintaining the functionality of critical systems during emergencies. By insulating cables, these wraps help in:

  1. Maintaining Circuit Integrity: Ensuring that essential systems remain operational during a fire.
  2. Preventing Fire Propagation: Stopping flames from travelling along cable routes.
  3. Complying with Safety Standards: Meeting national and international fire safety regulations.

Trafalgar Fire's Cable Wrap Solutions

Electrical cables are susceptible to ignition due to overheating, electrical faults, or external fire exposure. Once ignited, flames can quickly propagate along cable runs, increasing the risk of severe fire damage.

Trafalgar Fire has developed innovative cable wrap products tailored to meet diverse fire protection needs:

1. TWRAP™

TWRAP is a 25mm thick, foil-faced fire protection wrap engineered to provide insulation performance on service penetrations. Key features include:

  • High Insulation Performance: Offers up to 3 hours of fire insulation, ensuring prolonged protection.
  • Versatility: Suitable for cables, cable trays, copper, and metal pipes.
  • Robust Construction: The aluminium foil, fibreglass-reinforced outer layer enhances handling strength and tear resistance.
  • Compliance: Tested under AS1530.4-2014 and compliant with NCC 2022 requirements.

2. FyreWrap® Cable Insulation

For environments where electrical circuits must continue operating during a fire, Trafalgar Fire offers FyreWrap Cable Insulation. This thin, flexible insulation wrap provides a fire-protective enclosure around cable trays and conduits, ensuring continued power supply and safe shutdown of critical equipment in emergencies. Its benefits include:

  • Circuit Integrity Maintenance: Ensures electrical systems continue to operate or allow for controlled shutdowns during fire exposure.
  • High-Performance Standards: Meets ASTM E-1724 and ASTM E-1529 standards, providing top-tier fire resistance.
  • FM Global Approval: Recognised for its reliability and effectiveness in fire protection.
  • Essential for Critical Infrastructure: Ideal for petrochemical plants, commercial buildings, and energy distribution networks.

3. FyreSTRAP

FyreSTRAP is a retrofit solution that prevents fire spread through small service penetrations, especially at the head of wall joints. Features include:

  • Ease of Installation: Flat-packed design allows quick and simple installation, even in tight spaces.
  • Flexibility: This can be bent to fit around multiple services and is easily removable for future modifications.
  • High Fire Resistance: Achieves fire resistance levels of up to -/120/120, depending on the system.
