Fire retardant foams
As the leading engineering-biased foam converter in the UK at Technical Foam Services we understand that there is far more to converting foam than just precision cutting and forming. In some applications the foam must not only be a perfect fit, it must also meet all the necessary fire standards.
We manufacture a comprehensive selection of fire retardant, non-burning polyurethane and melamine foams and products, which meet FMVSS302, UL94 HF1 and Class O (black Pyrosorb, Fireseal and Basotect) standards, which include:
These include:
- Building and construction
- Automotive and transportation
- Machinery such as compressors and generators
- Furniture
- Bedding
Building a safe environment
Class O foams have been widely adopted in the building industry where high performance acoustic foams are required with superior sound absorbing and non-flammable properties. These include:
- HVAC linings
- Ceiling tiles
- Wall panels
- Suspended sound absorbers
We stock both polyurethane and melamine Class O rated foams to offer customers the optimal product to meet their specific needs and budget.
Our polyurethane Class O fire retardant foam products are manufactured from black Pyrosorb and Fireseal, which are easily cut for a perfect fit, while also providing durability and optimal fire retardancy.
We are also a leading supplier of Basotect melamine Class O rated foam products, which are recognised for their outstanding flame resistance and fire retardancy. These products do not melt or drip when exposed to flames and, combined with their lightweight structure, are a popular choice for products such as ceiling tiles and wall panels.
As well as supplying custom cut and shaped fire retardant foams, including profiled products, we also manufacture UL 94 and Class O foams with coatings and composites such as oil dispersing and heat reflecting coatings, foil and film-based composites, aluminium sheet inter-layers and self-adhesive backing.
A driving force in fire retardant foams
Fire retardant foams are widely used in the automotive and transport industries for a number of applications such as:
- Engine protection
- Seating
At Technical Foam Services we offer a comprehensive range of both polyester UL94 (automotive industry specification) and Class O grade fire retardant products to offer the most suitable solution, in terms of specification and cost, across a variety of automotive and transportation applications such as acoustic engine protection and insulation.
We also produce Class O Pyrosorb and Fireseal polyurethane and Basotect melamine foam products where a higher standard of fire resistance is required in transportation applications.
Blazing a trail
While the building and automotive sectors form our largest customer base for fire retardant foams, we also supply a wide range of other sectors, spanning from bedding to industrial machinery. But, the potential applications for fire retardant foams are vast and there are many products, which benefit from being produced from fire retardant foams.
Always at the forefront of new developments, at Technical Foam Services we relish the opportunity to work on new projects. Therefore, if you're considering a new product that could benefit from fire retardant properties, contact us to discuss your needs.
With your ideas and our know-how the possibilities are endless.
