FIRE AND SMOKE DO NOT BELONG TOGETHER

In most cases of fire the fatalities result from toxic smoke inhalation. Along with CO and CO2 such dangerous fumes as hydrogen cyanide (HCN), hydrochloric acid (HCl) and chlorine (Cl2) are released during a fire.

Following a table with the analysis of combustion gases released by PyroTex® at 600°C (1,112°F) after 40 minutes:

  • Sulfor Dioxide SO2 → not detectable
  • Hydrogen Chloride HCl  → not detectable
  • Hydrogen Bromide HBr  → not detectable
  • Hydrogen Fluoride HF  → not detectable
  • Hydrogen Cyanide HCN  → not detectable

and even Carbon Monoxide (CO) is only 35ppm.

Airbus Industries with its ABD and Boeing with its BSS directives established limits for different smoke constituents and for the smoke density in the burning and smouldering modes.

None of the meassured substances (HCN, CO, NOx, SO2, HCl, HF) could be detected when testing PyroTex®.

Since PyroTex® does not smoke when exposed to heat/fire the smoke density test turned out a '0' as well.

PyroTex® is equally usable in upholstery fabrics, fire barriers and panels for heat and acoustic insulation.

No toxic fumes as well as the inherent flame and heat resistance makes PyroTex® the choice for engineers.

PyroTex® is equally usable in upholstery fabrics, fire barriers and panels for heat and acoustic insulation.

Fabrics with PyroTex® passed the electric burner test. 
Products which used PyroTex® have passed the US Radiant Panel Burn Test as well as the Vertical Flammability Test.
