Flexible Fabricated Products
Flexible Fire Protection Cover
Code prefix FFH
Flexible fire protection covers are flexible passive fire protection products designed for industrial scenarios such as oil refining, oil and gas fields, chemical engineering and electrical equipment. Fire resistance rating and protection parameters are matched to the working conditions: the combustion and explosion risk of the material on site, the expected fire temperature and the fire resistance duration required for emergency rescue. The result is fire protection and thermal insulation suited to the equipment at a controlled cost.

01 — Product description
Passive protection matched to the fire scenario
Flexible fire protection covers are flexible passive fire protection products designed for industrial scenarios such as oil refining, oil and gas fields, chemical engineering and electrical equipment. Fire resistance rating and protection parameters are matched to the working conditions: the combustion and explosion risk of the material on site, the expected fire temperature, and the fire resistance duration required for emergency rescue. The result is fire protection and thermal insulation suited to the equipment at a controlled cost.
The product supports non-standard customised design. According to the outer dimensions of the equipment and the layout of obstructions on site, it can be made as a split combined structure, assembled and fixed with dedicated fire-resistant tapes and easily removed and refitted. Operation holes can be reserved for instruments, control buttons and other components so that daily maintenance, observation and operation remain possible.
Core advantages
- Non-shutdown installation: the cover can be installed and removed while the equipment operates normally, without a production shutdown.
- Customisation: dimensions, structure, hole positions and fire resistance rating adapt to irregular and large equipment.
- Weather resistance: suitable for outdoor and indoor industrial environments and aging resistant.
- Material: asbestos free.
- Fire resistance rating selectable: conventional models withstand 1093 C fire conditions, with higher-temperature special conditions customised.
- Wide application: passive fire protection for electrical, valve, pipeline and unit equipment.
- Standard adaptability: can be designed and manufactured to UL 1709 fire protection conditions.
Application scope and working conditions
Applicable scenarios: passive fire protection, thermal insulation and flame retardant, and fire isolation protection for equipment in the petroleum, oil and gas field, chemical and general electrical industries. The cover effectively delays the rate of fire damage to equipment, buying time for emergency rescue and equipment handling.
Working condition restrictions: a passive fire protection and insulation material with no explosion-proof or fire extinguishing function. It is not suitable for open flame burning beyond the design standard, high-intensity deflagration impact, strong acid or alkali corrosion or high-speed medium erosion. Special high-risk scenarios require dedicated adaptation design in advance.
Usage precautions
- Fire resistance temperature and duration correspond to standard test conditions; complex site fire conditions, airflow, pressure and thermal radiation affect the actual protection.
- Install and remove with standardised operation to avoid sharp objects scratching or puncturing the protective surface layer.
- Inspect regularly in long-term use; repair or replace promptly on surface damage, aging, delamination or carbonisation.
- All technical data and standard adaptability descriptions are for reference only; users should test suitability in advance and follow the relevant safety regulations and standards.
02 — Characteristics
Non-shutdown installation
The cover can be installed and removed while the equipment is running, without a production shutdown.
