CAB-HFCR/301 · Ceramic-Forming HFFR Compound
The animation follows a standard NYA/NYAF cable sheath compounded with CAB-HFCR/301 through the four stages of ceramification.
32-second animation with music; it starts silently — use the sound button to listen. Illustrative sequence; performance is verified per construction and test standard.
Ceramic Compound is a high-performance material technology developed to help maintain the integrity of cable insulation and sheathing systems under extreme temperatures and fire conditions.
Unlike conventional polymeric materials, which may soften, melt, or lose their mechanical integrity when exposed to high temperatures, Ceramic Compound formulations are designed to form a rigid, ceramic-like protective structure when subjected to intense heat. This protective layer acts as a barrier around the cable, helping to maintain its mechanical and electrical integrity for longer periods during fire exposure.
Our Ceramic Compound solutions can be formulated to provide a combination of high-temperature resistance, flame retardancy, low smoke emission, and halogen-free performance, depending on the specific application and technical requirements.

Fire performance standard · BS 6387:2013
BS 6387:2013 defines fire-resistance requirements for cables that must keep a circuit alive while they burn. Category CWZ combines its three most demanding protocols, applied in sequence on the same cable.
What this demands from the sheath is the same ceramic-forming behaviour shown in the animation above: the compound chars, converts into a coherent ceramic layer and holds that layer through heat, water and impact. CWZ performance is specified for tunnels, industrial plants, high-rise buildings and emergency or safety circuits.
CAB-HFCR/201 is formulated for cable constructions qualified to BS 6387 CWZ. Circuit integrity is a property of the finished cable and is verified per construction and test protocol.
