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. |
