PT FirstOne®
Our revolutionary, non-flammable plastic.
PTFO combines all the advantages of classic glass fiber-reinforced plastics - and goes far beyond them. Regardless of whether you need to manufacture geometrically complex, three-dimensional components or high-quality sheet material - PT FirstOne® is the tailor-made solution for your individual application.
Technical properties
Our material PT FirstOne® is a non-combustible, extremely pressure-resistant and thermally insulating construction fiber material that is used to manufacture three-dimensional and non-combustible components.
PT FirstOne®, PTFO for short, fulfills relevant fire protection requirements across all industries and has diverse, unique and irreplaceable properties.
PT FirstOne® is based on an inorganic material composition consisting of finely granulated minerals and a phosphoric acid preparation. This conglomerate, combined with various fiber and fabric mats, ultimately forms our inert, non-combustible construction fiber material. PTFO thus transforms into an inert, solid substance when exothermic.
PT FirstOne® has all the advantages of classic fiber composites, but also has other unique and irreplaceable benefits:
Non-flammable at up to > 2500°C
Thermal insulation in the high temperature range depending on the material thickness (>12 mm = F30 - F240)
No smoke development
No decomposition or liquid dripping of PTFO in the event of fire
Our material maintains complete integrity when exposed to fire for hours at temperatures above 1500°C
