It's t h e hottest thing in flame-resistance They call it Fireban. And it's the latest answer to the need for an improved, flame-resistant, stress-relieved, thermoplastic sheet for aircraft, automotive and industrial applications. Through use of a different approach in pigments and suppressants, Fireban can be made translucent and considerably lighter in weight than similar materials. It also exhibits greater impact resistance plus higher tensile strength, and a high heat-distortion point. And it is readily formed or mechanically worked by any conventional method. The exact composition of Fireban has not been disclosed by its manufacturer, but it has been described as a unique alloy of vinyl and styrene resins. It also has been revealed that PLIOVIC is the vinyl resin used. PLIOVIC was chosen because of its uniformity, rapid processing, and superior physical properties imparted to the end product. CHEMICAL Flame-resistant sheet is just one of many uses for the several types of PLIOVIC currently available.
