VERSATILE FLAME RETARDANT WELP2 GREY FABRIC
FLEXIBLE AND LIGHT FLAME RETARDANT FABRIC WITH UNE EN 13501-1 CERTIFICATION
WELP2 is a flame retardant fabric for high temperatures composed by a fiberglass nucleus that incorporates a coating based on a polymer on both sides providing resistance to abrasion and waterproofing in front of liquids and fumes. Designed to resist a continuous temperature of 550°C. WELP2 is a flexible and light fabric, easy to handle and, in addition, thanks to its polymer, it can be cut without being frayed.
The WELP2 is a versatile fire-resistant fabric, certified according to the official EN ISO 13501-1 standard. In addition to being fire-resistant, it is also impermeable, allowing it to be used both indoors and outdoors. The technical fabric WELP2 is a lightweight flame retardant fabric that is easy to handle and can be cut without fraying. It is suitable for making large fire-resistant covers, expansion joints, insulation, valve blankets, covers, and more.
The features of this fabric also allow it to offer protection in front of basic welding and light cut tasks, because its coating repels sparks and avoids that incandescent projections get stuck into the fabric when used vertically.
In 2023, the WELP2 is certified according to the UNE EN 13501-1 standard - Fire classification of construction products and building elements - obtaining the classification A2 s1 d0. It also surpasses the UNE EN ISO 15025 standard - Protection against heat and flames - with a result of A1-A2.
