FBS Fire Barrier System Wrap by Flame Seal
1.  FBS ® WRAP  SYSTEM..  is a unique patented wrap which incorporates an intumescent material that has an expansion ratio of over 100 to 1 to accomplish the large volumetric expansion of the "FBS® System" containment design. This new technology was introduced by Flame Seal Products Inc. to the Nuclear Power Industry for needed upgrading of existing fire protection on cable trays and conduits. At Omega Point Laboratories Flame Seal achieved success where many other companies failed due to the fact that the "FBS® System"  has performance capabilities in a class by itself. The unique design allows for a thin material during normal operations with a low insulative value. When a fire exposure occurs, the innovative design begins to go through dramatic changes as the layers expand and fill with "a compacted carbon intumescent material, creating a high insulative value while producing cooling endothermic reactions within the coating matrix". "FBS® System"  is currently being used by the Petrochemical Industry on a global basis.

AMPACITY DERATING ... One of the main problems with protecting cable trays and conduits is Ampacity Derating. The "FBS® System" circumvents this issue due to the fact that such high volume expansion yields tremendously increased insulation properties "during a fire", yet is a system of minimal thickness during "normal operating conditions".
 
 
 
 




COMPETITION ...   All Competitors in this field suffer from one or more of the following weaknesses. "FBS® Fire Barrier System"  does not.  Some comparisons are:

TYPE:
COMPETITORS:
FBS® SYSTEM:
Density:
  Very heavy material (creating support design problems) Light to - moderate weight (well within safety margins of existing support systems)
Thickness:
 When using  insulation higher levels of protection are achieved only by increasing thickness which causes clearance problems in areas with limited space.  Less than 1/2" thick for most applications
Ampacity Derating:
  Insulations and Endothermics have this Problem. As noted above, FBS® System does not have this problem.
Labor Costs:
 Most technologies require exacting seams and staggered joints, multiple layering, etc. - which creates very high labor costs. FBS® System is a simple, one layer process that is easy to install due to the expanding effect of FX-100® Fire Protective Coating  within the system. 
( Results:  Labor costs are reduced. )
Prices:
 Price depending on Structure and quantity:
$50 - $55 per square foot - orders less than 500 square feet
$20 - $25 per square foot - minimum order of 500 sq. ft.		 .

 2.   FBS® - J   JACKET COVER SYSTEM..    FLANGE COVER JACKETS  were designed for use on Fiberglass Flanges  to upgrade their fire resistive performance to compete with steel flanges on offshore oil rigs.   Original Fiberglass Flanges cannot survive a 30-minute fire test without allowing the flange gasket to leak excessively.  These jackets have passed an ASTM F-1173 test to allow the flanges to pass a level 3, 30 minute test, per Appendix 1, Section 7 of the ABS guide for offshore Fire Endurance Testing of Water Filled Plastic Piping.   The finished material is approximately ¾” thick and weighs 1.25 - 1.5 lbs. / sq. ft.
