Temprotex F1ER is a tough environment fire protection coating solution designed to safeguard engine bays and other critical areas in mining trucks, buses, and transportation vehicles. This high-performance coating offers a new approach in the protection against 3-dimensional liquid oil fires, ignition, and flame spread.
Product Description
Temprotex F1ER is a high-performance, water-based, fast-drying sprayable coating suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including:
- Car and truck engine bay surfaces
- Plastic/composite panels and components
- Engine parts
- Flexible lines and hoses
- HDEP, GRP, fibreglass, carbon fibre
- Almost any other composite surface
This versatile coating provides heat insulation, vibration resistance, ductility, and waterproofing properties while creating an effective ignition barrier on thermosets and other flammable, ductile items, simultaneously reducing core temperatures.
Temprotex F1ER significantly enhances engine bay safety by preventing ignition and flame spread on combustible surfaces while creating fire-extinguishing properties. This dual action can dramatically reduce engine fire severity and propagation. As a result, operators and passengers gain crucial extra time to safely evacuate the vehicle. Additionally, this extended window allows other passive and active fire suppression systems to function more effectively. The coating helps prevent fire outbreaks in the engine space by eliminating potential fuel sources and provides first responders with valuable additional time. This increased response time substantially improves the chances of saving the vehicle and minimising asset loss.
