Description

FyreWrap® Marine is a flexible, high-temperature insulation blanket engineered to provide passive fire protection for marine vessels and offshore structures. It is designed for applications where fire safety, weight reduction, space efficiency, thermal insulation and acoustic performance are critical.

FyreWrap Marine systems provide fire-rated protection for bulkheads and decks and are suitable for structures exposed to both cellulosic and hydrocarbon fire conditions. Alkegen identifies applications across cruise ships, high-speed ferries, luxury yachts, naval vessels, offshore platforms, FPSO units and other marine structures.

Gitco supplies technical insulation and passive fire protection solutions for industrial and infrastructure projects across Saudi Arabia. Contact our team for FyreWrap Marine product information, technical documentation and project requirements.

What Is FyreWrap Marine?

FyreWrap Marine is a totally inorganic, flexible, high-temperature insulation blanket manufactured using Alkaline Earth Silicate (AES) fiber technology. Alkegen states that its proprietary fiber-spinning and mechanical-needling process eliminates the need for binders, producing a material with high tensile strength and strong thermal and acoustic properties.

The flexible blanket format allows the material to be cut and contoured around stiffeners, beams and corrugated or complex plate profiles, helping installers achieve effective fire protection in areas where rigid insulation systems may be difficult to accommodate.

According to Alkegen, FyreWrap Marine has been used for marine fire insulation for more than 30 years.

Key Benefits of FyreWrap Marine

1. Lightweight Passive Fire Protection

Weight is a major consideration in marine engineering. Every additional kilogram can affect vessel design, payload capacity, fuel consumption and overall performance.

FyreWrap Marine is available in thin and lightweight system designs that can reduce the contribution of fire insulation to overall structural weight. Alkegen notes that lower-weight designs may contribute to increased vessel speed, fuel savings and available payload.

2. Fire-Rated Divisions from A15 to H120

FyreWrap Marine systems are designed for a broad range of marine fire-rated divisions, from A15 through H120, depending on the specific tested system and application.

Alkegen states that the systems are tested in accordance with IMO FTP Resolution MSC.307(88), the 2010 FTP Code, with applicable international certifications and approvals.

This makes FyreWrap Marine suitable for demanding marine and offshore fire protection requirements.

3. Suitable for Cellulosic and Hydrocarbon Fire Exposure

Marine and offshore installations can face different fire scenarios depending on the vessel type and operating environment.

FyreWrap Marine is designed for structures exposed to both cellulosic and hydrocarbon fires, providing a flexible passive fire protection solution for demanding applications.

4. Flexible and Easy to Install

The flexible blanket can be cut and shaped to follow the contours of:

• Steel bulkheads
• Aluminum bulkheads
• Decks
• Beams
• Stiffeners
• Corrugated plates
• Pipes
• Exhaust systems

This flexibility helps reduce complicated fabrication and allows installers to work efficiently around existing structural features.

5. Three-in-One Protection

One of the major advantages of FyreWrap Marine is its ability to provide a combination of:

Fire + Thermal + Acoustic Insulation

This can help marine designers and vessel owners address multiple insulation requirements using a single flexible material system.

6. High-Temperature Performance

FyreWrap Marine is engineered for high-temperature applications. The product information identifies a 2300°F (1260°C) temperature grade and a 2390°F (1310°C) melting point.

Its high-temperature performance makes it suitable for demanding passive fire protection applications in engine rooms, exhaust systems and marine structural assemblies.

7. Non-Combustible Insulation

FyreWrap Marine is described by Alkegen as non-combustible and tested according to the applicable marine fire-testing requirements. The product information identifies non-combustibility according to EN ISO 1182.

8. Resistant to Humidity and Water Exposure

Marine insulation systems must withstand challenging environmental conditions.

Alkegen states that the thermal properties of FyreWrap Marine are unaffected following water immersion or exposure to high humidity.

This characteristic makes the material particularly relevant to marine and offshore environments.
