Posted By Simon Birchall I'm looking for a supplier of a material which is flame retardent to be used as a moveable screen within a HV switchroom, to provide seperation from the HV and LV Switchgear. In looking for it to be in the form of curtain, suspended from a steel wire by split rings. Any suggestions?

Posted By Bob Baynes I am not sure what you propose is the right course of action, but cannot offer an alternative, so here's a suggestion toward what you wish to do. Have you thought about curtaining used to screen welding operations? Should be available via BOC or Air Products or a search of welding equipment suppliers in your yellow pages or on the net may yield a source of supply. Good luck, hope this helps.

Posted By Ken Taylor You will need to be careful here as some materials, whilst not supporting flame spread or combustion will melt on contact with fire or may be electrically conductive (which you may not want in the area concerned). Try asking your question on the FireNet Fire Safety Forum on: http://www.globalcrisisc...2b34040c1d3aab30453054f3
