In the densely populated commercial and industrial zones of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, passive fire protection is a critical engineering requirement. High-Density Fire-Wrap Duct Insulation is a specialized solution designed to encapsulate standard ductwork, transforming it into a fire-rated system. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides professional application of these certified wraps, ensuring your air distribution spine meets the 2-hour fire resistance mandatory for BOMBA and Uniform Building By-Laws (UBBL) compliance.
Standard fiberglass or foam insulation is purely for thermal efficiency and will fail or ignite during a fire. High-density fire wraps utilize non-combustible mineral wool or ceramic fibers that remain stable at temperatures exceeding 1000°C.
Our fire-wrap installations are certified to provide 120 minutes of protection across three criteria:
Stability: The wrap ensures the duct remains structurally sound and supported, preventing collapse which could block evacuation routes.
Integrity: The system remains smoke-tight. When paired with BOMBA-approved intumescent sealants at wall penetrations, it prevents toxic gases from leaking into non-fire zones.
Insulation: This is the wrap's primary function. It ensures the "cold side" of the duct does not exceed critical temperatures, preventing radiant heat from igniting combustible materials (like data cables or structural timber) outside the fire zone.
Bio-Soluble Micron Fibers: We utilize high-density wraps that are safe for installers and occupants while providing superior thermal resistance.
Reinforced Scrim Foil: The insulation is encapsulated in a heavy-duty, reinforced aluminum foil that acts as a vapor barrier, preventing "duct sweat" and corrosion in our humid Malaysian climate.
Stainless Steel Banding: To ensure the wrap stays attached during the high-velocity air movement and thermal expansion of a fire, we utilize stainless steel pins and banding for permanent mechanical attachment.
As a BOMBA-Compliant M&E Specialist, EKG ensures your fire protection supports building efficiency:
TNB Energy Efficiency (Dual-Purpose Insulation):
High-density fire wraps offer exceptional thermal R-values for daily HVAC operation. By minimizing heat gain from unconditioned ceiling voids, your Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) can maintain chilled air temperatures at lower motor frequencies (Hz). This directly reduces your monthly TNB electricity bill.
Acoustic Dampening:
The high density of the mineral fibers provides excellent sound absorption. This reduces "breakout noise" from high-velocity smoke spill fans or kitchen exhaust motors, which is essential for mixed-use developments in KL.
EECA 2024 & Building Sustainability:
Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024, efficient building envelopes are mandatory. Our precision-wrapped ducts prevent thermal leakage, helping you maintain a lower Building Energy Index (BEI).
| Feature | Standard Thermal Wrap | EKG High-Density Fire-Wrap |
| Core Material | Fiberglass / PE Foam | High-Density Rockwool / Ceramic |
| Fire Resistance | Combustible / Melts | Non-Combustible (2-Hour Rated) |
| Max Temperature | < 200°C | > 1000°C |
| BOMBA Compliance | Not Required | Mandatory for Smoke Spill / Kitchen Exhaust |
| Acoustic Rating | Low | High (Sound Dampening) |
Total 3D BIM Coordination: Fire-wrap adds significant thickness to the duct profile. We utilize 3D modeling to ensure the route is "clash-free" and maintains mandatory clearances from fire sprinklers and cable trays.
Turnkey BOMBA Submission: We assist in the preparation of technical drawings and material data sheets required for Fire Certificate (FC) inspections.
Strategic Regional Support: Based in Kuala Lumpur, we provide professional fire-wrap services for data centers, shopping malls, and hospitals across the region.
