IEP has developed a line of truly fireproof rope bags to compliment HT2
fireproof search line. HOT•STOP® ”L” rope bags are taken to another level of
performance with a multi layered Mylar film laminate; this metalized film
will reflect 95% of the radiant heat it is exposed to up to 2000°F. With a
base fabric melting point of 2080°F and an outer film that can resist almost
100% radiant heat up to 2000°F these bags are excellent bag for HT2
fireproof search line as well as standard search lines and life safety
rope. These bags are ideal for structural and wild land firefighting and
can withstand long term elevated radiant heat along with direct flame
contact.
Flashover tested, flashover proven
IEP Fire has
tested the Mylar faced HOT•STOP® rope bag in a flashover simulator to
demonstrate its extreme temperature resistance. To demonstrate the bags
ability to protect all types of ropes the bag was packed with typical 5/16”
nylon search line. The bag was placed un the upper level of the simulator
during the 30 minute evolution.
A thermal imaging camera was used to document the extreme radiant heat
and flames the rope bag and low temperature nylon rope is exposed to. Video
TIC footage, available on CD, shows the repeated flashovers, direct flame
impingement and burning debris that comes into contact with the bag
repeatedly over the 30 minute evolution.
