Certain applications such as rail, marine, land transportation and building need systems that delay burning long enough for effective evacuation. In some areas, there is an additional focus on low levels of smoke and toxic fume emission during burning. The need for fire retardant composites is specified by the relevant national and European fire standards. 70 Lightly Halogenated Gelcoat 60 50 40 30 20 10 New Technology Fire Retardant Halogen Free Low Surface Spread of Flame Brush Gelcoat *Samples tested using the UL94-HB test: A 20mm flame is applied to the 3mm thick gelcoat sample for 30 seconds, the resulting horizontal flame spread after 5minutes is then measured, this is repeated three times and an average is taken. 0 Crystic Fireguard Topcoat 75PA Excel Crystic stic Fireguard uard Gelcoat oat 70PA 70P PA Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat coat 72PA 72P PA Crystic Fireguard reguard g Gelcoat Gelcoat G 73PA PA APPROVALS New Technology Intumescent Fire Retardant Topcoat, Available in Both Spray and Brush Grades Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 70PA Firestarr CEN TS 45545-2 HL2 with Crestapol 1212 Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 72PA BS 476 Part 7, Class 1 with 1355PA, DIN5510-2 S4, SR2, ST2 with Cresatpol 1212 M1 F1 rating with Crestapol 1212 Technical performance benefits of Crystic Fireguard Range : n High level of fire retardancy – lower surface spread of flame n Superior handling n Low porosity finish n Easy to repair n Antimony Free n 75PA Excel is available in a limited range of colours please ask for details. 70PA, 72PA and 73PA are available in all RAL colours Low Smoke Performance of Crystic FIREGUARD GELCOAT 70PA n Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 70PA with Crestapol 1212 produces less than half the amount of smoke compared to a standard fire retardant BS476 Part 7, Class 1 laminate* n Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 70PA with Crestapol 1212 has a 3 times lower optical density value (this measure the thickness of smoke) compared to a standard fire retardant laminate which achieves BS476 Part 7, Class 1* * When tested to ISO 5659-2 Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 73PA BS 476 Part 7, Class 2 with 2.3700PA modified general purpose resin Crystic Fireguard Topcoat 75PA Excel BS 476 Part 7, Class 1 BS476 part 6, Class 0, M1 F1 rating with Crestapol 1212 MARKETS 4 Rail – Cab Fronts, Nose Cones, Exterior and Interior Panels, Seat Shells and Tables 4 Land Transportation – Buses, Coaches and Trucks 4 Marine – Engine Rooms 4 Building and Construction – Doors, Roofs, Exterior and Interior Cladding
