Fire Blind™ Systems

 

FBS 120+ FABRIC

 

FBS 120+ Fabric has been specially developed by Marian Engineering Ltd for our Fire & Smoke division and complies fully with the most demanding requirements for specifiers and Fire Safety Authorities, in countries where legislation exists for Smoke and Fire control systems.

 

FBS 120+ Fabric exceeds the performance required for materials used in the manufacture of smoke and fire curtains and blinds, smoke screens, cavity walls and roof void fire barriers etc.

 

FBS 120+ Fabric is a woven glass fibre fabric, reinforced with stainless steel wire and coated on both sides with a specially formulated micronised aluminium polymer, which provides an effective heat reflective surface as well as other properties required for materials used in the manufacture of smoke and fire curtains and blinds, smoke screens, cavity wall and roof void fire barrier applications, when installed in public buildings with open areas, where public safety is paramount, both onshore and offshore.

 

As a coated fabric, FBS 120+ Fabric offers advantages over similarly approved materials, in terms of minimal smoke permeability and reduced skin irritation. The material is flexible and easy to piece together and to install.

 

Fire Test Performance

 

The British Standards Fire Tests for smoke and fire curtains and blinds, smoke screens etc, requires that when in its operational position, it shall remain in place and intact, when tested for a minimum period of 30 minutes at 620°C

 

A smoke and fire curtain/blind manufactured using FBS 120+ Fabric met this requirement and then exceeded it, by remaining in place and intact for 120 minutes at temperatures up to almost 1000°C

 

FBS 120+ Fabric therefore complies fully with the requirements of BS476: Parts 20 and 22: 1987, as tested at the Faverdale Technology Centre.

 

FBS 120+ Fabric also meets with the requirements of BS 476: Parts 6 and 7: Class 0.
