Tested. Simple. Unique – RAUKANTEX FP edgebands

Fire protection is the be-all and end-all in building construction and engineering, as well as for local and long-distance transport. Smoke development of the materials used in interiors is particularly crucial in an emergency situation. Strict legal requirements for passive fire protection therefore also apply here.

RAUKANTEX FP from the REHAU fire.protect product family offers self-extinguishing edgebands with halogen-free flame retardants for wall coverings or furniture which meet the key European fire protection requirements and, at the same time, do not limit the design.

Solution

RAUKANTEX FP is halogen-free, flame-retardant and self-extinguishing once the ignition source has been removed.

RAUKANTEX FP has all of the relevant European test reports for building construction and rail. In addition to their tested fire protection properties, the edgeband solutions also meet all of the requirements of modern interior design. Innovative composite testing for edgeband, board and adhesive now allows design freedom even with high edgeband thicknesses.

RAUKANTEX FP is also just as quick and easy to process as all other RAUKANTEX edgebands.

Application areas

Whether it’s an exhibition hall, hotel, kindergarten, school, hospital or local and long-distance transport: in all of these places, safety is paramount.

People need to be as protected as possible and – in the event of a fire breaking out – be exposed to only the smallest possible quantities of smoke and toxic gases. It must be possible to escape from the buildings or vehicles without loss of orientation.

Equally, it is important that the effect of the fire is not enhanced by the materials.

RAUKANTEX FP edgebands are tested according to EN 13501-1* B - s2, d0 as well as EN 45545-2 R24 HL3 and can therefore be used in the following areas.
