Gorlex GFS 102 – Industrial Grade Fire Retardant Coating for Electric Cables

The Gorlex GFS 102 is a professional-grade, water-based intumescent coating designed to provide superior fire protection for electrical, communication, and data cables. In the event of a fire, the coating reacts to heat by expanding (intumescing) to form a thick, insulating carbonaceous char. This char layer acts as a thermal barrier, preventing the spread of flames along the cable jacket and maintaining the structural and functional integrity of your electrical infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

Product Measurements & Packaging

• Net Volume: 20 Liters

• Container Type: Heavy-duty industrial plastic pail with airtight seal and carry handle.

• Shelf Life: 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place ($5°\text{C}$ to $40°\text{C}$).

Maximum Safety for Critical Infrastructure The Gorlex GFS 102 is engineered for high-density cable environments such as power plants, industrial factories, control rooms, and cable tunnels. Its advanced formula is non-toxic, asbestos-free, and halogen-free, ensuring that no corrosive or deadly gases are released during a fire. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice that prioritizes human life and sensitive electronic equipment.

Superior Performance & Durability Unlike standard paints, GFS 102 remains highly flexible after curing. This allows the cables to be moved or bent during maintenance without the coating cracking or peeling. It is resistant to moisture, humidity, and mechanical vibrations, ensuring the protection lasts for the lifetime of the cable.

Zero Derating A major advantage of GFS 102 is its high thermal conductivity under normal operating conditions. It does not cause cable derating; it allows heat generated by the electricity to dissipate effectively, ensuring your cables do not overheat during standard use.

Compliance & Standards Tested against rigorous international standards, including IEC 60332 (for vertical flame spread) and IEEE 383, the GFS 102 provides verified peace of mind for safety officers and facility managers worldwide.

Application Guide:

• Surface Prep: Ensure cables are clean, dry, and free from oil or dust.

• Tools: Can be applied easily using a brush, roller, or airless spray gun.

• Coating: For optimal protection, apply in two coats to achieve the recommended dry film thickness.
