fire proofing
(OP)
Does anyone know of a fire proofing that may be applied to FRP composites (carbon-based with epoxy matrix for strengthening retrofit on structural elements)? Is there any UL tested system available? Any information would be appreciated.

See website at www.fyfeco.com for details.
The supply and installation of the fire rating system alone can exceed the cost of the FRP application.
My guess is that the Fyfe system is UL-listed based upon testing on their FRP laminates, so applying the AFP to another non-Fyfe composite may not make it UL-equivalent.

If you are in the USA, give David White a call at Sika in New Jersey - he is (was?) a tech guy on their composites. Or call A.B. (he goes by his initials) at Sika at US corporate office - they would know what is available re fire systems.
