A few days ago, a Japanese company called Each DreaM successfully developed a non-combustible composite material, which has passed the ISO 1182 certification. During the development of this product, Each DreaM also issued a non-combustible insulation material, which is also the world's first insulation material that has passed ISO 1182 certification. Currently, the product is applying for related patents.
In a video showing the product, the researcher splashed kerosene on a new material box containing ice cubes and set it alight. Not only is the box safe and sound, the ice in it is still frozen.
Strictly speaking, the material is actually a fiber reinforced ceramic material (FRC) made of basalt fiber cloth. However, since the material is comparable to traditional FRP materials in terms of quality, performance and application, each DreaM Company calls it the "new generation FRP" for convenience.
The new material can withstand the flames of 1500°C (2732°F), has low thermal conductivity, no toxic gas release, and easy recovery.
FRP can be used as an interior material for ordinary vehicles. The new material is not only non-flammable, but its formaldehyde emission rate is 0.0mg/L. This means that it is tasteless. In addition to the existing applications of FRP, the new materials are also expected to be used in houses and wooden high-rise buildings.
With a thickness of only 0.8 mm, the material can withstand a flame at 1200°C (2192°F) without any deformation. Therefore, the material can replace aluminum alloys with a melting point of only 660°C in certain applications, and has great potential.
Each DreaM company will demonstrate the excellent performance of the new materials on January 23, 2021 in Shikucho, Japan.
