Application areas
SLIPSIL plugs are used for the gas and water tight and fire safe sealing of pipe and
cable penetrations. The plugs can be used for steel, stainless steel, copper, GRP
and plastic pipes and are approved for steel and aluminium partitions in marine
and offshore applications. |
|
SLIPSIL sealing plugs are widely used in:
- Shipbuilding and renovation
- Offshore installations
- Chemicals and petrochemicals industry
- Utilities industry
- Industry
- Building and construction |

SLIPSIL is based on the superior rubber grade NOFIRNO, a rubber compound
that is not consumed by fire, does not shrink, and when exposed to flames forms
a protective layer with a layer of char underneath. NOFIRNO rubber has excellent
weathering properties, UV and ozone resistance and long term behaviour. Service
life of the plugs easily exceeds 20 years under normal environmental conditions.
The plugs can be used in a very wide temperature range. Even at low temperatures
down to -50° C the rubber stays flexible and does not harden excessively as
other rubber types will do. This guarantees tightness even at low temperatures.
The rubber can also be used in applications up to +180° C. A single rubber
grade is now capable of satisfying almost all sealing conditions.
The use of SLIPSIL sealing plugs is an advantage for the builder, the
installer and the owner of the installation.
In case of onshore applications, the contractor can save quite some time due to the availability of
fitting embedded pipes for SLIPSIL plugs and also because of the fact that SLIPSIL plugs can be applied in drilled holes.
In case of offshore applications, the yard can save quite some welding and cutting time and material
costs by using SLIPSIL plugs. Due to the innovative design, the plug sealing system allows the shortest possible sleeve length for fire rated penetrations, whereby the insulation is reduced to an absolute minimum.
SLIPSIL plugs can be used for all types of metallic and plastic pipes! For the installer it is most advantageous that the plugs can be installed in minutes and do not require any bolting or other
mechanical outfitting. For the owner the savings are in the field of maintenance costs due to the exclusion of mechanical stresses and avoiding corrosion problems.

Lubicrate and Push: the plug slides in
Sealing plugs are used to obtain a certain degree of gas and water tightness. Water leaks
will be noticed rapidly. Gas leaks, however, are not visible and might be more dangerous.
Tightness is dependent on quite a number of parameters. From the design and material
point of view, this means that properties have to be incorporated in the design to exclude any failures as far as possible. This starts with the way of installation and ends with
long term performance.
The designers of the SLIPSIL plug have been focusing on this issue. An appropriate
profiling design and the use of a rubber grade with a proper flexibility, hardness and
compression set offer excellent long term behaviour. The leveled outside profiles of the
plug secure a proper surface contact inside the conduit and finally the inner ribs have a
“sliding” design, not only for ease of installation, but also to create sufficient grip.

EMC proof applications
For the EMC protection of pipe and cable penetrations entering shielded areas, the electrically conductive sealant or flexible rubber CONDUCTON
is available.
Tests carried out in our laboratories have shown that the electrical resistance from pipe surface or cable braiding to mass is about 1-2
Ohm.
Attenuation tests at DELTA Electronics Testing/Denmark have proven the outstanding damping properties of the EMC sealing system: 35-85 dB. |
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes of, for example, sanitation systems, are a potential source of serious problems in case of
fire.
Most plastic pipes start to soften at a temperature of about 75 °C and ignite at a temperature of about 140 °C.
This means that, should a fire occur, a hole will be formed by the softened or combusted plastic pipe, allowing fumes and flames to spread freely. To meet this problem, BEELE Engineering has developed the crusher SLIPSIL plug system.
