| Tecnofire®
is used within the composite structure providing a thin surface layer
with low weight penalty. In the event of a fire, Tecnofire®
swells to provide a thick insulating char which protects the underlying
composite structure from the fire. |
|
Tecnofire®
is compatible with most fabrication methods including hand lay, vacuum
bagging, pultrusion, filament winding, pre-pregging, and a variety
of injection techniques. Tecnofire® is available in
roll or sheets suitable for continuous or semi-continuous processes. |
|
Tecnofire®
is available in grades suitable for use with most major resin types
including polyester, epoxy, vinylesters and phenolics. Thicknesses
in the range of 0.5mm to 6mm have been successfully processed. The
thickness selection is dependant on the fire performance required. |
