Challenges:
Finding a coating system on the market with proven long-term exterior performance capable of handling tough conditions while providing high levels of fire protection to Carbon Fiber Fabric for structural strengthening and 2-part epoxy impregnation resin. This search resulted in only two technologies available globally: The Fireshell F1EHV and Temprotex F1ER.
Solution:
The F1EHV was chosen due to its suitable color, long-term external weathering performance, class-leading fire protection properties, and simple application process on these substrates. Additionally, the product’s availability in high volumes was a deciding factor.
Outcome:
This efficient, high-performance solution is breaking new ground for both longevity and fire performance on PVC, carbon fiber, GRP, HDPE, and a range of other composites. As one industry expert noted, “Nothing else on the market ticks the boxes this technology is able to. It’s quite remarkable and a game-changer for this type of fire protection being able to be offered to clients.”
