BISCO Fire Protective Covering: Innovative Fire Protection Solutions from Rogers Corporation
ABLE commits itself to providing cutting-edge materials and solutions that can withstand the toughest environments. To ensure the best possible materials are delivered, ABLE partners with companies like Rogers Corporation.
Rogers’ advanced materials have earned a reputation for high reliability and performance in extreme conditions. This makes them essential in aerospace, commercial aircraft, and defense applications. Design engineers rely on Rogers’ materials for radar and navigation systems, heat dissipation, and gasketing solutions.
Rogers Corporation offers fire protection solutions through their patented flame-retardant silicone foams, known as BISCO Fire Protective Covering (FPC) materials. These flexible foam materials are designed to safeguard delicate components from potential fire damage by resisting the burn-through of flames with temperatures as high as 1900°F (1038°C). Additionally, they can minimize the spread of flames to other areas. As a result, these materials address both safety and design concerns in crucial industrial and transportation applications.
We’ll explore how Rogers Corporation effectively implements fire protection for the aerospace industry.
Enhancing Industrial Safety with Rogers Corporation’s Flame-Resistant Covering
Rogers Corporation has developed a range of fire protection solutions called BISCO FPC materials, which utilize patented flame-retardant silicone foams. The flexible foam materials are designed to prevent potential fire damage to delicate components by resisting the burn-through of flames with temperatures up to 1900°F (1038°C) and reducing the spread of flames to other areas. These advanced features ensure that the FPC materials are ideal for critical industrial and transportation applications where safety and design are top priorities. With this innovation, Rogers Corporation provides an effective and reliable solution for fire protection.
