SCOTT BADER Crystic® Fireguard Range New Technology Fire Retardant Gelcoats and Topcoats Protecting Composites from Fire Unsaturated polyester resins used to make Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) are organic and like all organic compounds they will burn. 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. Spread of flame on a horizontal burn test after 5 minutes* TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE BENEFITS OF CRYSTIC FIREGUARD RANGE: High level of fire retardancy- lower surface spread of flame Superior handling Antimony Free colours please askfor LOW SMOKE PERFORMANCE OF CRYSTIC ■ 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* ■ 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* *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 5mlnutes Is then measured, this Is repeated three times and an Fireguard Fireguard Gelcoat Gelcoat Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 70PA Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 72PA BS 476 Part 7, Class 1 with 1355PA, M1 F1 rating with Crestapol 1212 Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 73PA BS 476 Part 7, Class 2 with 2.3700PA modified general purpose resin Crystic Fireguard Topcoat M1 F1 rating with Crestapol 1212 ✓ RAIL - Cab Fronts, Nose Cones, Exterior and Interior Panels, Seat Shells and Tables ✓ LAND TRANSPORTATION - Buses, Coaches and Trucks ✓ MARINE - Engine Rooms ✓ BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION - Doors, Roofs, Exterior
