First Graphene’s FireStop Effectiveness in Demonstration Video

• ARC Research Hub accentuates First Graphene’s FireStop product.
• A demonstration video created for increased accessibility via YouTube.
• Progressive product specific tests are scheduled for major fire standards by next year.

First Graphene Limited (ASX: FGR), an advanced materials company releases the latest news on its FireStop fire retardant brand product. Simultaneously, University of Adelaide’s prestigious ARC Research Hub for Graphene Enabled Industry Transformation features the FireStop technology as a Tier 1 contributor.

An exquisite media demonstration video is made accessible via Youtube showcases the sensational potency of FireStop in wooden structural application. The media exposition clearly displays a concise advantage of the untouched FireStop-treated wood products compared to a basic structure fully disrupted. Provided that the cause of fire typically begins at a peculiar ignition stage, the capacity of FireStop to inhibit any ignition stands as the product’s major attribute in the fire protection strategies. As demonstrated in the video, the wood was brushed thrice in less than 500um with FireStop application.
First Graphene takes pride in proving the FireStop’s remarkably impressive elevated thermal conductivity specifically driving off heat from its origin. Furthering the outcome of the vigorous demonstration intensifies First Graphene’s objectives in continuous innovative implementation in the market.

Currently, University of Adelaide has accepted UL-94 system built in accordance with the Standard for Safety of Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances set as plastics susceptibility to fire. The UL-94 system will be utilised in the school workshop alongside the fortification of Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) for creating conclusive scientific information. Such equipment will enhance and increase expedition in the present studies to advancing the FireStop usage and marketability strategies.

Upcoming examinations for amplified product viscosity with consistency in retaining its ability to stop the fire from spreading would be one of the testing metrics. The results are expected to represent FireStop’s submission to CSIRO for independent testing by early 2018. First Graphene is also undertaking FireStops new commercialised negotiations with promising field consorts.
