Firesafe bring you complete fire retardant rigid and gasket solutions for every scenario. Our product range offers our customers more options with an extensive stock list and also bespoke solution service to cater for more complicated projects.

FireSafe products are made from a unique thermoplastic polyolefin compound, which contains a strong fire retardant system.

Our products have self-extinguishing properties and do not emit any halogens, acids, toxins or corrosive gases and greatly reduce smoke generation during a blaze.

For all applications where fire behaviour of pipe products needs to be maintained at a constantly high level, FireSafe ticks all of the boxes!

Ideal for use in enclosed public places such as tunnels, underground transport systems, airports, hospitals, railway stations, schools, colleges, universities, shopping centres, factories and other workplaces.

During a fire, our profiles generate a mere fraction of the smoke that industry standard rigids give off meaning these products will save lives.

Below for your information, is a series of tables detailing some of the compound properties used to create the rigid range of FireSafe products.

Our low smoke flexible profiles maintain many of the characteristics of the rigid range.

The temperature range of FireSafe rigids and flexibles is the same as standard products of the same nature but the low smoke performance of FireSafe in extreme heat conditions is exceptional, greatly out performing the industry standard!
