“The performance of composite materials in fire is a key enabler/barrier to potential growth markets such as construction, rail, marine, aerospace and oil and gas,” organisers report.

“With the appropriate choice of resin, additives, fillers and coatings, fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites can be used to make structures with clear fire performance benefits over many other materials, in addition to other benefits such as weight reduction or corrosion resistance.”
