Temprotex F1ER Fire Protection Coating
Temprotex F1ER is specifically designed for underground infrastructure, particularly culverts and pipelines. The Temprotex technology provides critical protection against fire risks for combustible surfaces in harsh environments.
Product Description
Temprotex F1ER is a high-performance, water-based, fast-drying sprayable coating suitable for various underground infrastructure components, including:
- GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) structures
- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) culverts
- Other composite materials used in underground systems
The coating creates an effective ignition and flame spread barrier, while also providing heat insulation and structural integrity protection during fire events.
