BACKGROUND:
The objective of fire protection is to minimize the probability and effects of fires. The achievement of this
objective requires an integration of fire safety systems and a balanced defense employing a wide variety of design
features, one reinforcing the other and strengthening any one can compensate in some measure for weaknesses
known or unknown in another. Structures, systems and components important to fire safety should be designed and
located with this in mind, in a manner consistent with other safety requirements. One component
of the overall fire safety system is the fire barrier. This includes walls, floors, ceilings, enclosures
and penetration seals.
To demonstrate the adequacy of fire barrier walls, floors, ceilings, enclosures and penetration
seals, designs should be verified by fire endurance testing. Typically, the guidance offered by
nationally recognized test standards, such as ASTM E-814, is followed as an acceptable method
for demonstrating fire endurance performance relative to through-penetration stops.
ADVANTAGES OF SILICONE SEALANTS
Penetration seals fill a multi-function role in the completion of a processing
or power generation station. Initially, the development of penetration seals
was aimed at assuring the full integrity of fire barriers. It was quickly
realized however, that with the development of silicone-based penetration
sealants, other systems and safety functions could benefit greatly from their
installation.
The two-part silicone sealants are
introduced into an opening to be sealed as a low to
medium viscosity liquid, and flow readily, filling the
opening completely, even when complex geometries are involved. Alternative materials such
as grout, mastic or caulk which are hand-packed or pumped into the opening generally exhibit
much higher viscosities, simply do not flow readily, and risk the possibility of un-filled areas
in the penetration opening.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Halon Protected Areas:
Typically areas where these types of fire suppression systems are
employed are cable spreading areas and motor control centers. Areas
such as these require containment of the fire-suppressive agents. If
the fire suppressive agents are not contained and able
to reach proper concentrations, these safety features
may be rendered ineffective. These areas contain
significant quantities of equipment and devices that
could be damaged by the use of water-based fire
suppression systems. Areas such as these require
penetration sealants capable of sealing complicated
openings involving significant amounts of cabling.
Page 7

These sealants must be capable of maintaining pressure differentials, allowing necessary
maintenance and rework and not cause damage to the cables passing through the seals
due to normal power loads or cause damage because of vibration as a result of normal
plant operations.
Grout would be a poor choice for many reasons. Grout is water-based. If a fault existed
in the jacketing of an energized cable while the grout installation process was underway significant harm could
come to the installer and those nearby from electrocution. Also at risk is electrical damage to sensitive equipment
due to a short-circuit because of the cable fault. Additionally, because of its water-based nature, grout can
effloresce (dry out) which can contribute to shrinking and cracking of the penetration seal
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they possess a high dielectric
strength, meaning that they
provide electrical insulation
equal to or exceeding that of
the cable jacket. Therefore
cable faults do not pose the
same risks as with grout.
Grout would be a poor choice
because during normal plant operation vibration occurs. Grout is a rigid and many times abrasive material. Cables
sealed with grout can experience damage from abrasion and this action can wear away the cable jacketing due to
this constant vibration.
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they are not abrasive and will not
wear away the cable jacketing due to the constant vibration.
Grout or caulk would be poor choices because, routinely, maintenance has to be performed. Adding a new circuit
or replacing old cable requires the seal the cables pass through to be opened by partially or completely removing
the seal. Forces and tools required to remove a grout or caulk seal risks damage to the cable.
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they can be removed with relative
ease using blunt, non-conductive tools and devices.
Grout or caulk would be poor choices because they would be difficult to seal around an opening congested with
cable and achieve an airtight seal capable of maintaining the proper concentration of fire suppressive agents; this
could reduce the effectiveness of the fire suppression system under fire conditions, and require using far greater
amounts of these fire suppressive agents during verification testing at an increased cost of plant operation.
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because introduced into the opening as a low
to medium viscosity readily flowable liquid, it can seek out and seal even complex geometries.
Caulk and fiber seals would be a poor choice because many of the cables are power cables that can generate
significant heat. This can require cable ampacity to be “derated” lowering the current that can be carried by that
circuit. Ampacity is a term used to define the current carrying capacity of a given circuit. The intentional reduction
of the current carrying capacity of a given circuit is referred to as “ampacity derating”. If the cable is not derated,
because these cables are further insulated by this type of seal, the build up of heat may cause damage in the form of
hardening and cracking of the cable’s insulation. This could lead to premature failure of the cable. Additionally,
the caulk used for this type of application many times is intumescent. Testing has shown that intumescent caulks
(Those that expand irreversibly upon exposure to heat) can be adversely affected by exposure to radiation,
significantly reducing their ability to expand when exposed to the heat of a fire.

PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they are compatible with sealing
around power cables. PCI-Promatec’s materials have been tested and qualified for cable ampacity considerations.
Waste Hold-Up Storage Tank Areas:
These areas contain highly contaminated effluent from various reactor and
associated operations. Penetrations through the walls of the room forming the
containment of these storage areas require sealing with materials capable of
maintaining sometimes significant water-pressure differentials due to the potential
for leaks. If the seal fails, contamination can be spread to undesirable areas and the
cost of the clean up and decontamination can be significant.
Caulk and fiber seals would be a poor choice because the radioactive effluent
would saturate and contaminate the fiber portion of the seal itself, compounding the
cost of the decontamination effort. Grout seals would be a poor choice because
grout has a tendency to shrink as it cures and its ability to remain in place and function, as a watertight seal is
questionable.
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they are solid and do not absorb
liquids, as the fiber in the seal design described above would. In addition the exposed face of the seal is smooth
and decontaminable. Further, these materials have been qualified for pressure integrity and significant radiation
exposure (1 x 108 rads gamma or more) with no significant change to the seal.
Piping Systems
Typical plant construction includes numerous piping systems. Many of
these systems are dynamic and experience movement due to growth
thermally both laterally and axially, or because of the force and velocity of
the fluids flowing through them. Freedom of these piping systems to
experience the full movement required by design is essential to the proper
operation of these systems. Many of these piping systems are constructed
from austenitic stainless steel. Stress corrosion cracking of austenitic
stainless steel may be promoted by certain contaminants (halogens). The
most serious contaminants are chloride and fluoride ions. These ions may be
contained in many common materials such as pipe insulation. These contaminants may be leached from these
common substances by leaks and accidental spillage of fluids through pipefittings, valves and equipment, and
deposited onto adjacent stainless steel surfaces. Thus, these contaminants can contribute to a gross rupture of the
reactor coolant pressure boundary as a result of a rapidly propagating fracture.
Grout seals would be a poor choice because the grout cures to a hard and rigid material. This material would tend
to restrict thermal growth laterally putting unexpected forces on the pipe that can contribute to the fatigue of the
pipe. Axially, the grout may not maintain it original installed position, which could adversely affect its function
and effectiveness as a seal. Further, the integrity of the grout can be affected by the constant vibration during
normal operation of the piping system and begin to crumble. With regard to halogen content, simply mixing the
grout with water that is not suitable and has not been analyzed, or storage of the grout in an improper location can
change the halogen content of the grout to an unacceptably high level, rendering it unacceptable for use.

Passive Fire Protection Solutions
Caulk and fiber seals would be a poor choice because the caulking or mastic material would tend to bond to both
the pipe surface and the opening through the barrier. Movement of the piping system laterally beyond normal
vibration would tend to tear the seal apart, reducing its effectiveness. In addition, the movement of the pipe both
axially and laterally can compress the fiber portion of the seal. After it has been compressed numerous times it is
highly unlikely that it would recover to its original condition. Therefore voids created by the frequent compression
of the fiber would reduce its effectiveness as a seal. With regard to halogen content, the fiber normally used in this
type of design must be analyzed for halogen content prior to use. As above, storage of the fiber in an improper
location can change the halogen content of the fiber to an unacceptably high level, rendering it unacceptable for
use. Further, where leaks and accidental spillage of fluids occur, they can be absorbed by the fiber, raising the
halogen content of that material, and/or contamination in radiological areas making decontamination a problem and
possibly necessitating the replacement of the seal while in radiological areas creating unwanted contaminated
waste.
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they have been engineered to permit
the piping system its full designed freedom of movement. Where piping systems normally experience only minor
axial movement “bond-breakers” have been tested and qualified and can be used with the solid silicones while
allowing the system’s full freedom of movement. Where more significant axial movement is expected, or
movement in the lateral directions, PCI-Promatec has qualified designs which will permit up to three inches of
movement in any direction with no loss of seal integrity. This seal design is qualified for air, flood, fire exposure,
and radiation attenuation, and seal materials utilized in this design have been qualified for significant radiation
exposure. With regard to halogen content, PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials in general have a small
capillary attraction with liquids such as water and are largely closed cell in structure, or similar to solid rubber
exhibiting no cell structure at all. By their very nature, the products do not provide the mechanism for depositing
chloride and fluoride contaminants onto stainless steel surfaces, according to widely accepted test standards. The
total amount of chloride and fluoride ions in these products is extremely small as determined by extensive testing.
Further, the smooth silicone surfaces have been shown by testing to be easy to decontaminate without requiring
replacement.
Emergency Diesel Generator Day Tanks and Lube Oil Storage Tanks
Containment of fuel in the event a leak develops in such storage tanks can greatly
minimize the extent of a fire, should one occur. Any penetrations used for this purpose
should be capable of withstanding exposure to these types of fluids and able to withstand
the sort of differential pressure which may accompany containment of these fluids should
such an event occur.
Grout and caulk and fiber seals would be a poor choice because they may not be able to
fully contain the leak, since their ability to provide a seal to differential pressures which
are likely to occur, is questionable.
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they have
been engineered, tested and qualified to maintain substantial differential pressures. PCIPromatec’s silicone materials have also been investigated for their reaction to submersion
in these types of fluids in addition to literally dozens of other fluids, which may be encountered in industries such
as this. These tests indicate very little change in the physical properties of the silicone materials as a result of the
submersion.

Engineered Safeguard Systems
In the radiological restricted areas (RRA) of a plant the potential for radioactive contamination is high. This
contamination may become airborne and be deposited in undesirable locations including areas outside the RRA. To
safeguard against this occurrence, air-handling systems may be designed to draw a slight vacuum on areas that have
the potential for contamination. The output of these air-handling units is channeled through high efficiency
particulate air (HEPA) filters that are designed to remove the contamination. Therefore, in the event of airborne
contamination, the path of the airflow is known and where the contamination will and will not be deposited. To
maintain the effectiveness of such systems, penetrations that occur in barriers (floors, walls and ceilings) that make
up this pressure boundary must be sealed. These seals must be capable of maintaining differential pressures with
very low leak rates. If the leak rate is too high, the air-handling units will be pushed beyond their designed
capacity, and the contamination may not be controlled effectively.
Materials such as grout or caulk which are hand-packed or pumped into the opening and exhibit a high viscosity,
simply do not flow readily and risk the possibility of un-filled areas in the penetration opening with the potential for
leakage. When this leakage, even though it may be small for a given penetration opening, is multiplied by the large
number of penetrations that can exist in the pressure boundary, the proper operation of the engineered safeguard
system may be in question.
Readily flowable liquid, PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because when
introduced into the opening as a low to medium viscosity liquid they can seek out and seal even complex
geometries. PCI-Promatec seal designs have been tested and qualified for air pressure integrity.
Radiation Areas
Biological shields are normally constructed through the generating facility in the radiological restricted areas to
allow the operations staff and others to perform their necessary functions without risking the potential for
unnecessarily high radiation exposures. When these barriers are penetrated to allow necessary piping and cabling
systems to be routed throughout the plant, the effectiveness of the barriers is lessened. Restoration of the integrity
of these barriers by sealing the penetrations that occur can greatly reduce the potential for radiation exposures.
Caulk and fiber seals would be a poor choice because this type of seal design simply does not have the density that
is necessary for proper attenuation of the gamma radiation fields. Further, without testing to determine how
radiation may affect the properties of the materials used over the long-term, it is not certain how effective this
design would be from other aspects such as fire and air integrity after significant radiation exposure.
Grout seals would be a poor choice because although it may possess the density to provide the necessary
attenuation, many times seals are required to perform multiple functions such as air integrity in addition to radiation
attenuation. Or, the penetrating item may be a system that requires movement to function properly, which the
rigidity of the grout simply can’t accommodate.
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they have the required density to
provide the proper attenuation of the gamma radiation fields. In addition, they are able to accommodate pipe
movement, with no loss of attenuating properties, and, at the same time can provide and satisfy air and watertight
requirements, and the smooth silicone surfaces are easy to decontaminate, as demonstrated by testing.
Security Barriers
Many of the barriers throughout the plant are required to maintain the security of the facility. However, the
penetrations necessary to route the cabling, piping and ventilation systems, necessary to equip these areas to
support security measures and systems, reduce the effectiveness of these security barriers.
Page 11
PCI-Promatec
Passive Fire Protection Solutions
Many times additional security measures such as iron bars are required over these openings to restore their
effectiveness as security barriers. These additional measures increase the cost of construction and maintenance.
Caulk and fiber seals would be a poor choice because this type of seal design simply cannot withstand an assault
from a security standpoint. One of the requirements for qualification of a seal from this aspect is bulletproof
testing. This testing uses a high-powered rifle from a relatively close distance.
PCI-Promatec’s silicone based materials represent a far better choice because they have been subjected and
qualified to bulletproof testing. This testing employed a high velocity 30-06 rifle with a 0.225-grain load. The
bullet was effectively stopped in just a few inches of the material. Materials qualified for this type of application
are both the low and high-density elastomer. With these seals capable of filling this additional function, the extra
costs associated with added security measures such as iron bars can be avoided from both a construction and
maintenance standpoint.
QUALIFICATION TESTING
A wide body of testing exists that has been conducted by PCI-Promatec for the processing and power generation
industry, including both fossil and nuclear. Typically, the
configurations qualified for fire resistance for facilities such as
these are more severe with regard to cable fill, pipe thickness
and diameter and/or penetrant arrangement than generally
would be found in common commercial and industrial fire
testing.
This testing
includes, in
addition to fire
resistance
qualification to numerous standards including ASTM E-814,
UL 1479, ASTM E-119, NFPA 251, UL 263, and IEEE 634,
testing in areas such as surface burning characteristics (ASTM
E-84) and noncombustibility (ASTM E-136). Supplementing this
data, is testing in the areas of differential pressure, radiation
resistance, gamma radiation
attenuation, ampacity derating,
durometer hardness, volume
resistivity, compression
deflection, shear strength, K
factor, and halogen content,
among others.

LDSE (Low Density Silicone Elastomer)
Description
LDSE is a low-density silicone elastomer developed and manufactured exclusively by PCI-Promatec. This
seal type is suitable for fire, air and flood concerns. LDSE is typically supplied as a two-part set
comprised of A and B liquid components. The A liquid is black and the B liquid is buff for easy
identification and inspection of complete mixing. Through mixing of the components in a 1:1 ratio yield a
liquid encapsulator that cures into a firm elastomer at room temperature. Installed as a liquid, this ensures a
complete fill in and around penetrating elements. Cured, it exhibits a durable, damage-resistant exterior
surface that is easy to decontaminate.

SF-60 (Silicone Elastomer)
Description
SF-60 is an elastomeric product developed for and marketed by PCI-Promatec. This seal type is suitable
for fire, air and flood concerns. SF-60 is typically supplied as a two-part set comprised of A and B liquid
components. The A liquid is black and the B liquid is buff for easy identification and inspection of
complete mixing. Through mixing of the components in a 1:1 ratio yield a liquid encapsulator that cures
into a firm elastomer at room temperature. Installed as a liquid, this ensures a complete fill in and around
penetrating elements. Cured, it exhibits a durable, damage-resistant exterior surface that is easy to
decontaminate.

RADFLEX TYPICAL PROPERTIES
The following values are based on reported test
findings and are not intended for use in preparing
specifications:
Fire Qualification
A mechanical penetration seal (utilizing a minimum
147 lb/ft³ product) was first exposed to a dosage of 1 x
108 Rads Gamma, subjected to cycle movement
testing (ensuring flexibility after exposure), and then
successfully qualified in fire testing at a nationally
recognized, independent and accredited laboratory, in
accordance with widely accepted standards.
Considering the weight and resilient nature of this
material, and that it is installed full barrier depth, it is
recommended a flexible silicone fabric boot be
installed as an integral part of this design. This
provides mechanical securement for the design. This
patented product has received major insurance
company and regulatory body acceptance.
Typically, RADFLEX is provided at a nominal density
(final cure) of 150 lb/ft³. Higher density ranges can be
achieved by formula variations when requested.

SF-20 Silicone Foam
Description
SF-20 Silicone Foam is a low-density resilient fire sealant material
developed and manufactured exclusively by PCI-Promatec. Installed as
a liquid, this ensures a complete fill in and around penetrating elements.
This seal type is suitable for fire and air concerns. SF-20 is typically
supplied as a two-part set comprised of A and B liquid components. The
A liquid is black and the B liquid is buff for easy identification and
inspection of complete mixing. Through mixing of the components in a
1:1 ratio yields a liquid encapsulator that cures into a foamed elastomer
at room temperature. A mild exotherm (36 °F) is exhibited during the
curing reaction.

SE-Foam
Description
SE-Foam is a low to medium-density resilient fire sealant material manufactured
exclusively by PCI-Promatec. It has improved fire resistance compared with SF20 silicone foam and can be installed at lesser depths for the same fire rating.
Installed as a liquid, similar to SF-20, this ensures a complete fill in and around
penetrating elements. This seal type is suitable for fire and air concerns. SE-Foam
is typically supplied as a two-part set comprised of A and B liquid components.
The A liquid is black and the B liquid is buff for easy identification and inspection
of complete mixing. Through mixing of the components in a 1:1 ratio yields a
liquid encapsulator that cures into a foamed elastomer at room temperature. A
mild exotherm (36 °F) is exhibited during the curing reaction.
