Our products have a proven track record and are optimized to
provide the highest level of performance in rapid temperature rise fires,
retaining strength, with excellent adhesion even in the harshest of environments
such as cellulosic type fires and hydrocarbon fires. These fires are caused by
burning hydrocarbon fuels, such as petrol, diesel, petro-chemicals and gases.
These types of fires are characterized by a rapid and massive temperature
increase as the fuel ignites that cause a high level of pressure (blast
erosion), that typically destroys traditional thin-film intumescent coatings as
well other typical structural steelwork fire protection.
FIREX™ coatings are used in numerous military and defense
applications, including ships, tanks, military vehicles, as well as markets for
agriculture, chemical, infrastructure such as buildings, airports, bridges,
mining, oil and gas, power, pulp and paper, and waste industries.
In addition, we have teamed with the U.S. Army’s Aviation and
Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) to provide
predictive modeling of applications based on our FIREX™ products which provide
excellent test correlations. We can model the expected behavior of your
application with our products and generate results to help guide your material
selection process.

FIREX™ RX-2373
FIREX™ RX-2373 is modified epoxy
binder filled with thermally active materials that form cooling gases when
exposed to temperatures in excess of 350°F (177 °C). When heat in the range of
1000 to 5000° F (538 to 2760°C) is applied, a char forms which insulates by
transpirational cooling and re-radiation. In addition, filler materials more
efficiently control the release of gaseous molecular species.
After partial use, the char is brushed away and the FIREX™
RX-2373 re-useable or refurbished with additional material. Adhesion to metals,
wood, paper, and glass is excellent; it readily accepts a top coat.
FIREX™ RX-2373 is furnished solvent-free as "A" and "B"
components with a shelf life of six months. When thoroughly mixed, the material
is applied by spreading or troweling and by injection mold. Pot life and cure
time is adjustable for a variety of applications by the addition of small
amounts of solvent. RX-2373 cures at room temperature with a final density of
0.045 lb/in3 (1.245 g/cc).
FIREX™ RX-2390
FIREX™ RX-2390 is modified epoxy
binder filled with thermally active materials that form cooling gases when
exposed to temperatures in excess of 350° F (177 °C). Then heat in the
approximate range of 1000 to 5000° F (538 to 2760°C) is applied, a char forms
which insulates by transpirational cooling and re-radiation. In addition, filler
materials more efficiently control the release of gaseous molecular species.
After partial use, the char is brushed away and the FIREX™
RX-2373 re-useable or refurbished with additional material. Adhesion to metals,
wood, paper, and glass is excellent; it readily accepts a top coat.
FIREX™ RX-2390 is a two-part epoxy resin system. It is
produced in sprayable and trowelable versions, with a shelf life of six months,
as well as precured panels, this material is used on vertical surfaces without
sagging or slumping. Coating thickness up to 60 mils (15 µm) can be applied in a
single pass. RX-2390 cures at room temperature, with a final density 0.045
lb/in3 (1.245 g/cc).
FIREX™
RX-2376
FIREX™ RX-2376 is a polyurethane
based coating containing active fillers that form a liquid film at temperatures
of 250° F (121 °C) or higher. Under conditions of aerodynamic heating, this film
is swept away by the air stream without affecting airfoil characteristics and
electrical transmission. As long as unreacted material remains, the substrate
temperature will remain at approximately 250° F (121 °C).
Application
of FIREX™ RX-2376
FIREX™ RX-2376 is a two component liquid system
that is mixed in the ration of 100 parts component A to 172.5 parts component B.
Pot life is approximately one hour at room temperature. Application of the
material is done with conventional suction type paint spray equipment after
mixing. Application of the material is universal on all surfaces but horizontal
orientation maximizes uniformity and a smooth surface coating.
A maximum thickness of twenty to thirty mils can be applied at
one time. For applications requiring thicker coatings, twenty to thirty mils
should be applied per pass and a six hour drying time allowed between passes.
Cure time is twenty-four hours. Cured materials remain stable at temperatures
from -65° F to + 200° F (- 54 to + 121°C).
FIREX™ RX-2376 has a limited shelf life characteristic of many
polyurethane based materials. As long as the containers are kept tightly sealed,
shelf life is at minimum 30 days at ambient temperature and as long as 90 days
under refrigeration.
