Maxguard FR is a gelcoat based on an isophthalic acid polyester resin filled with flame-retardant fillers. This gelcoat has a low smoke number compared to halogenated gelcoats. Compared to standard ISO and ISO-NPG gelcoats, this flame-retardant gelcoat has poorer UV resistance. Combined with the flame-retardant resin F 240 TF, this gelcoat gives an M2 F2 rating.
Application
Maxguard FR is available in Romar-Voss Composites’ product range in a hand version (spray version available on request). This gelcoat is suitable for use in various fibreglass-reinforced products that require good flame-retardant properties. Maxguard FR is mainly used in the transport and construction industries.
This gelcoat is available in a neutral base, but can be coloured on request. Maxguard FR is available in selected RAL colours as standard. NCS, Sikkens or customer-specific colours can be produced on request.
