Challenges
Finding a solution that enabled teams to retain the lightweight substrates whilst still achieving an ignition and flame spread barrier for the drivers.
Solution
Temprotex F1ER was utilised as a high performance water-based, fast-drying, team sprayable coating solution for use on car bodies, plastic/composite panels and flexible lines and hoses. This coating is heat insulating, vibration resistant, ductile, waterproof, non-flammable. It extends fire retardancy of thermosets and other flammable, ductile items as well as reducing core temperatures.
Outcome
Set the new standard for ignition barrier technology in the industry. Also effective fire/smoke protection on roll cage foam, padding, blankets, hoses, grommets and poly or silicone-based flammable components.
Temprotex keeps NHRA funny car drivers safe from fire, heat and smoke.
Temprotex® F1ER
Temprotex® F1ER is a high-performance water-based, fast-drying, sprayable coating for use on car and truck bodies, plastic/composite panels, engine parts, flexible lines and hoses, HDEP, GRP, fibreglass, carbon fibre and almost any other composite surface.
Heat insulating, vibration resistant, ductile, waterproof, nonflammable intumescent coating. Creates an ignition barrier on thermosets and other flammable, ductile items as well as reducing core temperatures.
