Norafin GUARDIAN® – The Fireblocking Solution
Fireblocking materials can be used in many different applications such as furniture-, padding, and bedding. Seats of cinemas, theatres, auditoriums, and stadiums have to be equipped with fireblocker as well. However, the needs in private and public transport are some of the most important applications of fireblocking materials.
Since the 1980s, as the first high speed trains came into operation and glass-fiber products were forbidden, train seats were equipped with textile fireblocker. Before introducing a standardized EU regulation, every European country had its own test norms. Standards now must comply with norm EN 45545 – requirements for fire behavior of materials and products used in trains. Mechanical tests can further vary between countries, which makes it possible to use different fireblocking materials.
In the aerospace transportation, the seating must pass fire and toxicity test, a density of smoke measurement as well as mechanical tests. Most of the tests comply with international norms.
Norafin aims to design and deliver fireblocking materials with the highest performance and quality standards.
