Commercial buildings have
fire resistant barriers intended to save property and lives. There
are standards that keep our buildings up to code. All
construction firewalls are rated
based on the amount of time the firewall will stop the fire from propagating to
the other side. They are very effective because the wires and
cables that go through them are required to pass test that meet or exceed the
rating of the firewall penetrated.
An
automobile's firewall is not really a firewall
at all.
Most of us call it a firewall but the truth is that there are
no standards and no test. No Inspectors and no Fire
Marshals. These bulkheads are punctured with a multitude of
wires, hoses and cables that are not sealed and offer only
minimal protection for the
driver or the equipment. Competition
drivers are sometimes at speed and in most cases the driver is burned and equipment is damaged.
Our small
firestop company has developed the Automotive
Firestopper System.
Acceptable for use in NASCAR, IMCA, and SCCA competition. (other racing organizations soon)
The
Automotive Fire Stopper System
(standard or HD) includes all the
hardware as well as intumescent putty that seals the
system as the cables or wire jackets are burned.
The Firestopper is used in off road, dirt track and stock cars. Works in conjunction
with the Automotive Fire Stop Expanding
Foam and the Automotive Fire Stop
Sponge. The Automotive Fire
Stop Kit is available to firestop an entire race car.
