Flame Retardant Gel coat

Flame retardant gelcoat is a specialized type of gelcoat that is formulated to provide fire resistance and meet stringent safety standards. It is designed to inhibit the spread of flames and reduce the release of smoke and toxic gases in the event of a fire. Flame retardant gelcoat is typically made from polyester or epoxy resin and incorporates flame retardant additives, such as halogenated compounds or intumescent agents. These additives work by forming a protective char layer when exposed to heat, which acts as a barrier against the flame and prevents further combustion. Flame retardant gelcoat is commonly used in industries where fire safety is critical, such as aerospace, transportation, and construction. It is utilized in the production of components such as interior panels, electrical enclosures, and structural elements that require compliance with fire safety regulations.
