North Parks Mine Vehicle Ignition Barrier Solution

FIbreglass bonnets were identified as an ignition and flame spread risk on underground vehicle builds for this NSW mining site.

Challenges

The solution needed to be highly flexible, vibration resistant, able to withstand tough environments and provide a high level ignition barrier protection to the surface.

Solution

Temprotex F1ER is the only system that meets all these requirements as well as being the only SFI-approved ignition barrier intumescent coating for plastics and composite materials. The system is being spray applied to the bonnets as part of the truck builds. The extreme exterior performance and high levels of adhesion and flexibility on these surfaces create a truly class-leading ignition barrier technology in this space.

Outcome

Surfaces can be easily treated with the Temprotex F1ER offering the ideal solution to meet all the client’s needs. An additional benefit of this system at higher builds is the sound deadening application as well as ignition barrier.

IMPORTANT: Confirm with your certifying body prior to application that the F1ER system is suitable to meet the fire rating requirements on your project.
