Protect critical structures without adding excessive weight
FlexiChar® C20i(H) provides lightweight, flexible passive fire protection for structures and processing equipment such as onshore/offshore oil, gas and petrochemical facilities in harsh environments. Offering up to 120 minutes of fire protection and 20 minutes of jet-fire protection, its thin-film coating helps maintain structural integrity without adding unnecessary weight, while remaining flexible in temperatures down to -52 °C.

Protect critical assets with lightweight fire protection
The system provides up to 120 minutes of fire protection in accordance with the UL 1709:2017 and jet fire protection in accordance with ISO 22899-1:2007 for a duration of 20 minutes for structures and processing equipment. FlexiChar® is applied with an air driven, single leg pump or with a basic specification plural pump.
