Fire Protection Film Systems

Overview

HBC’s Fire Protection Film Systems are transparent, high-performance protective films engineered to enhance the fire safety of glass, metal, and composite surfaces. These films slow flame spread, reduce heat transfer, and maintain structural stability during fire exposure — all while keeping surfaces visually clear and aesthetically unchanged.

They are ideal for modern buildings that rely heavily on glass façades, partitions, and decorative transparent elements.

Technical Description

The films are made from high-temperature-resistant polycarbonate and multi-layer polymer composites, designed to:

• Slow ignition

• Minimize radiant heat penetration

• Prevent glass shattering

• Reduce smoke and toxic particle spread

When exposed to heat, the film expands microscopically, creating an insulating barrier layer that delays temperature rise on the protected surface.

The material is UV-stable, scratch-resistant, and suitable for both interior and exterior use.

Key Features & Advantages

• Transparent, allowing full visibility and natural light

• Enhances the fire rating of existing glass systems

• Inhibits heat transfer and slows down flame propagation

• Adds impact resistance and prevents glass fragmentation

• Long-term adhesion with low maintenance

• Non-toxic and environmentally safe formulation

• Fast, clean installation on-site without construction changes

Applications

• Glass doors and windows

• Architectural façades

• Office partitions and meeting rooms

• Shopping malls and public buildings

• Airports, hotels, and high-rise buildings

• Industrial facilities with observation panels

• Schools, hospitals, and government buildings

Environmental & Sustainability Factors

The films reduce the need to replace existing glass systems, significantly lowering material waste. They are produced using low-emission polymers, contain no harmful halogens, and improve energy efficiency by adding thermal stability to façade elements.

Integration with HBCT Ecosystem

The adoption of Fire Protection Films strengthens the HBCT ecosystem by:

• Enabling token-based purchasing for installers and contractors

• Supporting research into next-generation transparent fire barriers

• Funding manufacturing expansion for large-scale architectural projects

• Providing on-chain proof of specification compliance through HBCT

Future Development

HBC is developing enhanced film variants with:

• Higher thermal insulation cycles

• Smart-tinting technology

• Integrated micro-sensors for temperature alerts

• Multi-hour fire-stability layers for high-risk zones
