TPR2 Introduces a New Fire Retardant Polyester Resin for Fiberglass
WATERBURY, CT - July 2004 - TPR2 , Thermal Product Research, announces it's latest new fire safety product for professional motorsports and other industries... highly fire retardant polyester and epoxy resins for fiberglass and Carbon fiber plastic composites.
The new products are the first of their kind for the motorsports industry. These new products eliminate resin flare up when exposed to flame and greatly reduce the toxic smoke the resins generate in a fire, the company claims.
The new resins replace flammable resins used in fiberglass panels, high strength carbon fiber assemblies, vehicle bodies, air boxes, sand heat panels. They also can be incorporated into epoxy resins used in popular carbon fiber seats, panels, pipes and ducting of which more drivers are using.
According to Rick Barone, VP of Marketing for TPR2, "TPR2 has had unique technologies for awhile to coat fiberglass and carbon fiber body panels and components, but this new technology takes that fire and smoke protection to an unparalleled level, impregnating right into the resins a proprietary cost effective fire retardant and smoke suppressant. Because most 'resin based' products are made in multiple layers, we can use our proprietary fire retardant resins in only specific layers, making our technology very affordable for widespread use in many industries, but most importantly, motorsports."
Incorporated in 2004, Thermal Product Research was created with a purpose of creating new technology and safety products in the motorsports industry worldwide. TPR2's technology includes: insulation, anti-explosion, fire abatement, non-flammable and fire extinguishing products. TPR2's product lines also include coatings, pellets, plastics & powder technologies.
