General Information

CharCoat CC Cable Coating is a water-based Intumescent Latex coating developed for the fire protection of single, grouped or bundled electrical cables.

Originally formulated in the 1980’s to prevent spread of flame along the cable surface, CharCoat CC has become the leader in Cable Protection not only withstanding cellulosic fires of 750°C for 90 minutes, but also Hydrocarbon fires (1100°C) on electrical cable(s) for 90 minutes at a very low DFT.

CharCoat CC is a unique acrylic latex emulsion which has excellent resistance to weathering and aging and which remains flexible indefinitely allowing for cable movement and removal. It is suitable for exterior or interior applications. CharCoat CC will also prevent a short circuit within an electrical cable from starting a fire and will help identify the location of such a short circuit by forming an intumescent char at the spot.
