SERIES 03

Z-Fabric FP® Fire Protection Sheet/Tube Series

Dedicated fire protection and thermal insulation material for NEV battery packs, comprehensively outperforming traditional mica

SERIES 03 — FIRE PROTECTION

Z-Fabric FP®

The Z-Fabric FP® fire protection sheet series is specifically designed for NEV battery pack fire protection and thermal insulation. The company operates 760 air-jet and rapier looms with the world's largest annual production capacity of 200 million square meters. Product thickness ranges from 0.2mm to 2.0mm, covering all scenarios including module fire insulation, battery pack fire protection, and water cooling tube fire protection.

Compared to mica: superior heat resistance (1300°C×10min, back temperature only 450°C), lower thermal conductivity (0.02–0.1 W/mK vs mica 0.43–0.5), lighter weight (density 1.2 vs mica 2.5–2.9 g/cm³), flexible processing.
