Independent testing & real-world demonstrations
FireProtecx technologies have undergone extreme heat tests using propane torches, oxy-acetylene, molten metal, and independent laboratory evaluations. Below is a summary of the most relevant technical results.
SGS USA — UL 94HB Certification
The B6-182 formulation was independently evaluated at SGS North America using the UL 94HB horizontal burn test protocol.
- No flame propagation
- No dripping
- No after-burn
- Surpassed the 100 mm burn-through benchmark
Classification: UL-94HB
Automatic Extinguisher — real fire test
Live demonstration of the FireProtecx Automatic Extinguisher detecting and neutralizing a flame within seconds of ignition. The module identifies heat direction and projects B6-182 toward the source.
Oxy-acetylene test — molten steel, protected core
A steel plate placed over B6-182 and Styrofoam was exposed to an oxy-acetylene flame (≈ 3,200 °C) until the metal liquefied.
- Steel melted under flame
- The intumescent char absorbed extreme thermal load
- The Styrofoam remained fully intact
42-minute propane torch exposure
A three-layer B6-182 structure was applied over Styrofoam and exposed to a 1,982 °C propane flame for 42 minutes.
- Only the top sacrificial layer charred
- The “cooling layer” remained almost intact
- The structural layer fully protected the core
- The Styrofoam interior showed zero thermal damage
Latex balloon under oxy-acetylene flame
A thin latex balloon coated with B6-182 resists direct exposure to an oxy-acetylene flame. Uncoated balloons rupture instantly under much lower temperatures.
Hand protected with B6-182 — real demonstration
A human hand coated with ~2 mm of B6-182 withstands a propane torch under controlled conditions. This demonstration has been featured in Forbes and International Fire Fighter Magazine.
