HOT•STOP XLN tapes are simple to apply and require no additional training for existing personnel.

Unprotected cable Fireproofing material performance criteria was established by a major electric utility to determine the best solution for the prevention of outages caused by arc faults and sustained fires fueled by gases. The resulting product is HOT•STOP® XLN Fireproofing Tape. Extensive fire testing has been performed on HOT•STOP XLN Tape for the protection of underground cables. Extreme fire conditions were simulated to qualify candidate products. 

PECO Energy of Philadelphia performed tests by subjecting cables wrapped with HOT-STOP XLN Tapes to simulate a typical fire condition found in their underground electric vaults. The tests were conducted by subjecting the wrapped cable to a quick blast of 2000°F flame, simulating an explosion. The cable was allowed to cool and again subjected to a 2000°F flame for one minute and allowed to cool. Finally the wrapped cable was subjected to a 4-minute sustained burn.

Unprotected cables and cables wrapped in the previous generation style of protective tapes predictably failed and did not offer any protection to the systems cable. HOT•STOP XLN Fireproofing Tapes were developed specifically for use by electric utilities to fireproof underground cables, splices and related equipment in underground electric vaults. HOT•STOP XLN tapes protect from external fire sources and helps contain fires as well. The performance criteria was established by a major electric utility determined to provide the best solution for the prevention of outages caused by electric arcs and sustained fires fueled by gases.

NOTE: This tape does not include an adhesive and is designed to be secured by clamps.
