KBS coating produced by BASF since 1969,work differently: Exposed to fire an endothermic reaction occurs. The material contains substances which alter chemically and physically under heat influence.
This process results in a cooling effect for the coated cable. Additionally gaseous substances came out producing as strong flame retardant effect and reliably preventing the fire from spreading.
Moreover, in practice there are further , important advantage of KBS coating:
- No flame-propagation due to ablation process
- High Flexibility
- Total resistance to high humidity, moisture and water
- No deterioration at all with age-even when used externally
