Fire Resistant

Rovicore™ FR (Fire Resistant) complements the Rovicore™ range in providing
a solution geared towards the manufacture of composite parts requiring
fire resistant characteristics.

DESCRIPTION
Rovicore™ FR contains a porous draining core with two layers of fibreglass
mats which are mechanically assembled and cut using stitching. Its distinguishing feature lies in the fact that its core has been designed without
using halogen products.

PROCESS
As with all the products in the range, Rovicore™ FR is specifically adapted
to closed mold procedures, namely RTM, RTM Light.
The specific construction of its core makes it of particularly high-performance
for low pressure injection methods.

MARKETS
•t Rolling Stock (train, underground rail networks, tramway)
•t Building and construction
•tIndustrial elements requiring fire resistance

ADVANTAGES
The changes made to the Rovicore™ FR core do not alter its properties in
any way, preserving all the advantages from the Rovicore™ range:
➜t Good levels of deformability and elongation allowing for easy reduction
t of angles and the manufacture of complex elements. This is not the case
t with some products made from 100% glass.
➜t Resilience and compressibility of the core allowing for Rovicore™ to
t adapt to the different thicknesses of composite parts.
➜tExcellent permeability of the synthetic core facilitating rapid creep even
t in the case of a heavily filled resin.
t - No filtering of loads
t - Homogeneity throughout the entire reinforcement.
All these advantages mean gains not only in terms of time but also in terms
of cost.
