The lightweight combustible surfaces of the new Next Gen cars have been catching fire due to reduced clearances and combustible substrates used in the car design.
Temprotex F1ER is the only SFI-approved flexible ignition barrier on composites to be utilised as part of the new rule change. Applied via airless spray, it achieves a complete ignition and flame spread barrier on the coated surfaces.
Allows lightweight composites to be retained in the car design whilst eliminating ignition source and flare-ups on the coated surface. Temprotex F1ER is a cost-effective, fire extinguishing, vibration resistant, efficient solution. Protecting drivers and their vehicles from fire.
IMPORTANT: Confirm with your certifying body prior to application that the F1ER system is suitable to meet the fire rating requirements on your project.
Temprotex® F1ER is a high-performance, water-based coating that dries quickly and can be sprayed on various surfaces, including car and truck bodies, plastic and composite panels, engine components, flexible lines and hoses, HDEP, GRP, fiberglass, carbon fiber, and nearly any other composite material. This coating is designed to be heat insulating, vibration resistant, ductile, waterproof, and nonflammable. It effectively creates an ignition barrier on thermosets and other flammable materials while also lowering core temperatures.
