Jet Fire ppro va l fo r Fen do lit e MII 

We believe that Fendolite MII is the only passive coating system to have full Lloyd`s Jet Fire type

approval without a prescribed increase in material thicknesses and furthermore for Jet Fire rating

period s of up t o 4 ho urs.

This mea ns tha t structures an d vessels alread y protected using Fend olite MII ma y be deem ed to be

equally fire rated for both Hydrocarbon Pool Fire and the potentially more destructive fire scenario

crea ted by e rosive Jet Fire impingem ent .

“ Jet Fire” resista nce is increasing ly being required fo r the protection o f steel structures w ithin the oil

an d g as, and petrochemical industries. This type o f t esting evolved from t he recogn ition t ha t f ire

resulting from the rupture of pressurised vessels could result in much more destructive fire scenarios

tha n th ose involved in sta nda rd hydrocarbon fuelled po ol fires.

Fend olite MII w as introduced t o t he ma rket in or aroun d 1980 and ha s been used extensively on a

worldwide basis for fire protection on onshore structures, particularly hydrocarbon processing

fa cilities. The structures prot ected include, structura l ste el, pipe ra cks, eq uipmen t, sto rag e vessels,

vessel suppo rts, con cret e be a ms and tu nne l lining s.

Structures protected w ith Fendo lite MII have bee n subjected to a w ide rang e o f Fire Resista nce tests

un de r a w ide va riety o f f ire scena rios. The se include , Cellulosic, Hyd roca rbo n, RWS typ e hig h-rise (

upto 1350°C ) and various Jet fire test conditions. Some of these tests have also included thermalshock tests w ith very erosive hig h pressure w at er imping emen t af ter f ire exposure.

The close collera tion in the p erfo rma nce of Fendo lite MII a nd a no th er CAFCO Int erna tion a l prod uct,

Mandolite 550. Which is specifically designed for use on Offshore structures has meant that Lloyd`s

have accepted that the following Jet Fire tests on Mandolite 550 can now also be applied to

Fen do lit e MII.

1. Shell Off sho re Flame Imping eme nt Prot ection Prog ram me ( SOFIPP ) Part 2. 1990.
