Guide to Fire-blocking Sections (Fire Sections/Fire
Choosing appropriate fire-blocking section materials can effectively improve the fire-proof performance of cable trays and reduce the losses caused
Contact UsHome / Which type of fireproof board should be used for cable trays
High-density calcium silicate boards, with their exceptional fire resistance, thermal insulation, and structural stability, are ideal for manufacturing these protective enclosures. Therefore, it is crucial to set up fire-blocking sections (fire sections/fire partitions) on cable trays and select appropriate fire-blocking sections (fire sections/fire partitions) materials. Where cables pass through shafts, walls, slabs, or enter electrical panels or cabinets, openings shall be tightly sealed. Systems with hourly ratings are tested to ASTM E119, UL 263 and UL 1709 (hydro carbon fire) standards. Route Planning and Layout Principles Coordinate with Building Structure: Cable tray routing should align with architectural design, avoiding unnecessary.
