Flame retardant carbon fibre (FRP) plates and tubes are now the gold standard in high safety enterprises where the fire hazard is not an option. They combine the well known light weight and strength of carbon fibre with fire protection in accordance with UL94 V0. Unlike traditional metals, which are heavy and prone to corrosion, or usual composites, which are flammable and release noxious smoke, our FR carbon fibre materials offer structural integrity, fire safety and long-term durability for aircraft, train, EV, industrial and marine applications.
What are Flame Retardant Carbon Fibre Plates & Tubes?
Flame retardant carbon fibre plates are stiff flat panels (1-10 mm thick) made from high strength carbon fibre laminates impregnated with fire resistant epoxy resin systems. Flame retardant carbon fibre tubes are hollow cylindrical profiles (round, square, rectangular) manufactured by roll wrapping or pultrusion of the same flame retardant resin matrix.
Both benefit from the basic advantages of carbon fibre and pass the rigors fire regulations:
UL94 V-0 rated " No Dripping Self-extinguishing Limited Flame Spread
Low smoke & non toxic : Important in tight locations, no halogenated vapours
High Temperature Tolerance 200C+ structural integrity

Energy savings The reduced weight of components leads to reduced fuel/energy usage in transport/industrial systems
Life Span 20+ Years In Metal 5-10 Years In Hostile Situations
❌Industry Pains Problem 1: Impacts Heavy Metals Performance & Safety Solution:
Our FR carbon fibre parts are 60-75% lighter than steel/aluminium and stronger than metal. Light EVs / planes – less energy Industrial robots. Faster, lower power. No power/weight tradeoff.
❌ Pain Point 2: Fire Disaster - Combustible Composites
Standard carbon fibre composites are limited in fire critical applications due to the presence of flammable epoxy. UL94 V0 approved, self-extinguishing, low smoke, non-toxic fumes and no fire risk in confined/high safety situations.
❌ Pain Point 3: Corrosion & Environmental Damage Reducing Metal Lifespan Metal Rusts. Failure. Standard composite chemicals/salts. FR carbon fibre plates/tubes are 100% corrosion resistant, UV resistant and chemical immune. Maintenance free, over 20 year life for marine/industrial use.
❌ Pain Point #4: Fire Code Restrictions on Material Choices
Fire certified materials for aerospace/rail/EV are few and far between. Our product is fire safe to UL94 V0. High strength, lightweight, durable, fire resistant structural material.
❌ Pain point 5: Very expensive to maintain and replace
Metals require periodic maintenance and coating. Most composites wear out and need to be replaced on a regular basis. Our FR carbon fibre products are maintenance free and last 3-4 times longer than metals, resulting in a reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the lifetime of the product.
