Flame RetardantGelcoats
Flame Retardant Fire Safety FR Certified

Flame Retardant Gelcoats

Flame retardant gelcoat systems specially developed for applications where fire safety is critical. Advanced technology formulations that slow the spread of flame, extinguish fire and prevent self-combustion.

  • Reduce flame spread rate by up to 70%
  • Formulation that minimizes smoke density
  • UL94 V-0, ASTM E84 Class A certificates
  • Limiting toxic gas emissions

Fire Safety Features

Ember Layer
Prevents oxygen and heat transfer by forming a char layer on the surface during combustion
💨
Gas Suppression
Extinguishes the flame by releasing inert gases that suppress combustion

Security Benefits

Life Saving Features

Flame retardant gelcoats play a life-saving role by providing critical escape time in case of fire. It increases visibility by reducing smoke density and minimizes respiratory risks by limiting toxic gas emissions. It guarantees life safety by meeting fire safety standards in public transportation vehicles, high-rise buildings and enclosed spaces.

Legal Compliance and Certification

Fully complies with international fire safety standards (UL94, ASTM E84, IMO FTP, EN 45545) and meets legal requirements. It successfully passes mandatory fire tests in the maritime, rail systems, aviation and construction sectors. Certified products ensure that your projects pass fire safety inspections without any problems.
