TECSTAR fiber |
TECSTAR® is a polyacrylate synthetic fiber with exceptional properties, resisting high temperatures and chemicals agents. One of multiple qualities is that when exposed to extremely high temperatures it will carbonize, producing non-toxic, almost non- existent fumes. Therefore, it is recommended for used in confined spaces where fumes represent more danger than flames themselves.. TECSTAR® emay be used as passive or active protection in a large number of product. IT WILL NOT BURN, IT WILL NOT MELT, IT WILL NOT PRODUCE FUMES WHEN CARBONIZED IZEZ. Other TECSTAR® assests are its antibacterial and antimicrobia properties and its softness and comfortability.
Limiting Oxigen Index ( LOI )
The fiber TECSTAR® feactures a L.O.I. of 42, clearly superior to other fibers available in the market.
Smokes and fumes TECSTAR® the fiber without opacity of smokes and fumes. When TECSTAR® is exposed to the flames, it emanates smokes and fumes in minimum quantities.
Therefore, the fiber is recommended for used in confined spaces where in the event of a fire, fumes, low visibility and toxicity are more dangerous thn fire itself.
Chemical propierties TECSTAR® will resist oxidizing agents, acids and highly concentrated base chemicals without being affected in its mechanic resistance and strength. It is highly resistant to chamicals, electrolysis, UV light and temperatures of over 250oC (steady). And it perform better that other fibers such as aramides, polyester, polyamides, etc.
