Temprotex F1ER is a specialised fire protection coating designed for tough environments. It provides critical protection against fire risks, particularly 3-dimensional liquid oil fires, while offering additional benefits for vehicle safety.
Product Description
Temprotex F1ER is a water-based, fast-drying sprayable coating suitable for various mining vehicle components, including:
- Vehicle bodies and frames
- Engine compartments
- Hydraulic lines and hoses
- Electrical components, battery housing
- Fibreglass and composite parts
The coating creates a fire-extinguishing surface, reduces flame spread, creates a complete ignition barrier on combustible surfaces, and provides additional heat insulation. It also offers sound deadening and vibration resistance properties.
Key Features
- Fire-Extinguishing Surface: Creates a surface that actively suppresses fires
- Flame Spread Reduction: Slows the progression of fires, particularly 3D liquid oil fires
- Extended Evacuation Time: Provides crucial extra minutes for operators to safely exit the vehicle
- Asset Protection: Increases chances of saving the vehicle during fire events
- Combustibility Risk Removal: Renders fibreglass and composite parts fire-resistant / non-combustible
- Sound Deadening: Reduces noise levels in vehicle cabins
- Vibration Resistance: Minimizes vibration transfer
Compliance Certifications
- SFI 54.1 Approved fire extinguishing coating
- Thermal Flame Barrier certification
- Vapour Fire Performance approved
- ASTM E 84 class A rated – Non-flammable coating
Mining Industry Applications
- Engine Bay Protection: Mitigates risks of oil and fuel fires in high-temperature areas
- Hydraulic System Safety: Reduces fire spread from hydraulic fluid leaks
- Electrical Fire Prevention: Protects against electrical fires in control systems
- Composite Part Safety: Removes combustibility risks from non-metallic components
- Operator Safety Enhancement: Provides crucial protection and extended evacuation time
- Equipment Longevity: Vibration resistance helps extend the life of vehicle components
Technical Performance
Creates a fire-extinguishing surface on treated areas. Significantly slows flame spread in 3-dimensional liquid oil fires. Maintains protective qualities under extreme mining conditions. Provides sound insulation and vibration dampening.
Application in Mining Vehicles
Temprotex F1ER can be integrated into mining vehicle preparation and maintenance:
- Direct application to vehicle bodies and engine compartments
- Coating of hydraulic lines and electrical systems
- Treatment of fibreglass and composite components
- Application to cabin interiors for sound deadening
For optimal performance, proper surface preparation and application techniques are essential. EXFIRE recommends application by qualified technicians in controlled environments.
Benefits for Mining Operations
- Enhanced Safety: Significantly reduces fire risks and severity
- Extended Response Time: Allows more time for fire suppression systems to activate
- Asset Protection: Improves chances of saving expensive mining equipment
- Operational Efficiency: Sound deadening and vibration resistance can improve operator performance and reduce fatigue
- Maintenance Reduction: Vibration resistance may lead to less frequent repairs
Temprotex F1ER provides a comprehensive passive fire protection solution for mining vehicles, protecting operators/passengers and valuable assets in tough environments.
