BasaTexx FP
Fireproof Membranes
BasaTexx FP is an innovative, high-performance technical fabric made of Basalt and treated with a fire-resistant coating. Through the interaction of the mineral fiber material with a special elastomer coating, a non-combustible, flexible, and lightweight tarpaulin or composite material was created.
The new developed fabric can be used for multifunctional applications and system solutions. Wherever high fire protection requirements are necessary and the general fire load has to be reduced, BasaTexx FP is the perfect lightweight material solution. The fabric meets the requirements of building material class A2-s1,d0 according to DIN 4102-1 and EN 13501-1 (equals to ISO 1182).
BasaTexx FP is characterized by a high flame retardancy and temperature resistance (up to 1.200 °C / 2,200 °F); high tensile and compressive strengths; UV-, chemical and corrosion resistance and no melting and dripping behaviour when exposed to fire.
