In transportation design, fire protection is foundational, not an afterthought. Bramport Supply Co. supplies FB-9696R fabric, a high-performance fireblock material purpose-built to protect foam cushions and interior components in railway and other demanding transportation applications.
Aramid fireblock 9696R is constructed from oxidized polyacrylonitrile para-aramid with a meta-aramid scrim; a material combination that delivers serious flame resistance in a lightweight, workable format. At 60 inches wide and just 0.058 inches thick, this gray fireblock fabric integrates cleanly into seating systems and interior builds without adding unnecessary bulk.
What It's Designed For:
- Protecting polyurethane and similar foam cushions in rail seating
- Fire barrier layering in railway interior assemblies
- Applications requiring certified vertical burn and flame spread performance
- Builds requiring low gas toxicity compliance
Certifications That Cover the Bases:
- 14 CFR (FAR) 25.853(a) Vertical Burn
- 49 CFR 238 / NFPA 122 CAT (Railway)
- ASTM E162 Flame Spread
- BSS 7239 Gas Toxicity
What makes rail fireblock fabric different from standard fire-resistant textiles?
Railway applications carry specific regulatory requirements, including 49 CFR 238 and NFPA 122 CAT. FB-9696R is certified to meet these standards directly.
Is this fabric available for non-railway applications?
Yes. It also meets FAR 25.853(a), making it applicable in automotive and marine interiors.
Are bulk pricing options available?
Price breaks may be available for larger quantities. Contact Bramport to discuss volume orders and lead times.
