New EN 13501-1 certificate for Silica P2 fabric

At Texfire, we constantly work to improve the quality and performance of our fire resistant products by conducting regular tests and controls. Recently, we have certified the Silica P2 Fabric according to the EN 13501-1 standard – Classification based on fire performance of construction products and building elements – achieving a classification of A2-s1-d0.

WHAT IS SILICA P2 FABRIC?

SILICA P2 is a flame-retardant fabric designed to withstand extreme temperatures, made from silica fibers coated with a polymer on both sides. This coating enhances its resistance to abrasion and makes it impermeable to liquids, smoke, and gases. It is capable of withstanding continuous temperatures of 1,100°C and peaks of up to 1,500°C. Additionally, it can be cut and tailored without fraying, making it ideal for manufacturing covers or thermal blankets for controlled cooling processes of components.

A FABRIC SUBJECTED TO RIGOROUS TESTING

Moreover, in our internal laboratories, the Silica P2 Fabric has undergone various technical tests to validate its fire resistant and mechanical properties:

• UNE EN ISO 9151: Heat transmission test under flame exposure, achieving result B1.
• EN ISO 15025: Flame spread test, obtaining classification A1-A2.
• EN 12947-2: Abrasion resistance test, demonstrating high durability despite the natural fragility of silica fibers.

WHAT DOES THIS NEW CERTIFICATION BRING?

Thanks to the EN 13501-1 certification, the Silica P2 Fabric stands out as a safe and reliable option against extreme temperatures, suitable for the construction sector.
