REDUCE DOWNTIME & INFRASTRUCTURE DAMAGE

Fire Protection For Mining

Mining operations depend on critical electrical, power and control systems to keep plant and production moving.

A cable fire can put critical infrastructure and plant uptime at risk.

Trafalgar Fire’s FLAMMOTECT-A Cable Coating and DG-CR 0.7 Cable Bandage provide an additional layer of protection, helping limit flame spread, protect critical cable systems and reduce operational risk.

REDUCE DOWNTIME & INFRASTRUCTURE DAMAGE

Trafalgar Fire’s FLAMMOTECT-A Cable Coating and DG-CR 0.7 Cable Bandage provide an additional layer of protection, helping limit flame spread, protect critical cable systems and reduce operational risk.

Why Cable Protection Matters In Mining

Electrical cables are prone to self-ignition as a result of overheating or short circuiting. Even a single cable fire can disrupt essential systems and put plant uptime at risk. 

Fire spreads quickly along unprotected cables, and heat-induced melting of plastic sheaths can cause burning droplets of molten cable material, accompanied by the release of toxic and corrosive fire gases. These can lead not only to the destruction of technical systems and other materials, but also to life-threatening gas poisoning.

As such, fire protection of cable systems in a mining operation is critical to mitigate:

Flexible Glass Reinforced Cable Bandage

The DG-CR 0.7 is a flexible, high-performance cable bandage designed to protect grouped electrical cables and cable support systems from fire exposure and flame spread.

For mining operations, where extensive cable infrastructure can be difficult to access and regularly modified, DG-CR 0.7 provides a flexible solution for protecting existing cable systems while supporting future maintenance and modifications.

Learn More
Ideal For Retrofit Applications
DG-CR 0.7 can be installed without the need to pre-clean cables, making it particularly useful for existing mine-site infrastructure where cleaning extensive cable runs can be difficult, time-consuming or disruptive.
Suitable For Complex Cable Routes
From horizontal and vertical runs to angled, suspended or structurally mounted cables, DG-CR 0.7 adapts to varied cable configurations across mining infrastructure.
Flexible For Cable System Changes
Mining infrastructure is continually upgraded and modified. DGCR 0.7 can be opened to allow cables to be added, removed or replaced, making ongoing maintenance and future changes straightforward.
Protects Grouped Cable Systems
DG-CR 0.7 can protect individual or grouped cables, cable trays and cable support systems. Its intumescent layer expands when exposed to heat, forming an insulating protective layer that helps limit flame spread.

Ablative Fire Protection Coating

FLAMMOTECT-A is a high-performance ablative coating designed to help limit flame spread across grouped electrical cables and cable trays.

When exposed to fire, the coating absorbs heat and forms a stable insulating layer, helping slow flame propagation and reduce the potential for fire to impact critical electrical infrastructure.

Helping to protect single and bunched critical cable infrastructure, and keep your operation moving!

Made for Demanding Mining Environment:
Mining infrastructure operates in harsh and variable conditions. FLAMMOTECT-A is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications and is resistant to moisture, UV radiation, freeze-thaw cycles, oils and a range of chemicals, supporting durable protection across demanding site environments.
Limits Flame Spread
Critical power, control, and processing systems rely on extensive cable networks. FLAMMOTECT-A limits flame spread along grouped cables and cable trays, reducing the potential for fire to impact connected infrastructure and disrupt essential operations.
Versatile Fire Protection For Existing Cables
Suitable for new and existing cable installations, Flammotect-A can be sprayed, brushed or rolled for practical fire protection across critical cable routes, including hard-to-access areas.
No Derating Required
Fire protection shouldn’t compromise the systems keeping your operation running. FLAMMOTECT-A requires no electrical derating, helping protect critical cable systems without reducing their current-carrying capacity.
