The expediency of using fire retardant cable coatings

The article addresses the requirements of regulatory and technical documents on the flame retardant treatment of cable products. It also presents methods for evaluating the fire-proof efficiency of various compositions. The cases, described by the co-authors, have overviews of the fireproofing sequence and acceptance procedures. The co-authors demonstrate approaches to determining the service life (the lifespan) of protective coatings. Information on various methods, used to check the condition of previously applied fireproofing, is summarized. Relevant conclusions are drawn about the options of the fireproofing application to ensure the fire safety of buildings and structures.
