Fire-rated films and sheets are engineered thermoplastics such as polycarbonate, PVC alloys, and specialty blends that are formulated to meet stringent fire safety standards. They are designed to resist ignition, reduce flame spread, and minimise smoke development, while still offering lightweight strength and clarity.

Our premium range of fire-rated products includes:

Tuffak® AR2 polycarbonate sheet
Korogard® High Impact Door and Wall Protection’
Gradus® High Impact Wall and Door protection
GATJET® Mirror
GATROCK® Hygienic Wall Panel
Exolon® AR Polycarbonate Sheet
GATGARD® AR polycarbonate Mirror
Lexan™ Cliniwall™ high-impact Polycarbonate Wall and Door Protection
Rencraft® Optical Grade glass-coated polycarbonate
SciCron® Static Dissipative – ESD – Anti Static Polycarbonate
Hygard® Laminates

Standard plastics can ignite easily and release toxic smoke when exposed to fire. Fire-rated high-performance plastics are engineered with self-extinguishing and low-smoke properties, ensuring greater safety, compliance, and peace of mind in environments where fire risk must be strictly managed.

Compliance with global fire standards (e.g., UL 94 V-0, FAR 25.853, ASTM E84)
Self-extinguishing properties – will not continue to burn once flame source is removed
Low smoke and low toxicity emissions
Lightweight yet impact-resistant compared to glass or metal alternatives
Available in clear, tinted, and specialty finishes for design flexibility
Improved occupant safety – limits flame spread and reduces smoke hazards
Design flexibility – easy to fabricate, thermoform, cut, and laminate
Weight reduction – lighter than glass or metal, reducing structural load
Durability – resistant to impact, chemicals, and long-term wear
Cost efficiency – longer service life and easier installation compared to traditional materials
Aviation & transport – aircraft interiors, train glazing, bus partitions
Medical & healthcare – protective panels, cleanroom glazing, device housings
Architecture & construction – wall linings, ceiling panels, partitions, security glazing
Electronics & human interface – control panels, displays, switch overlays
Industrial & manufacturing – machine guards, enclosures, and protective barriers
Yes. Advanced formulations deliver glass-like transparency, optical stability, and surface coatings for abrasion resistance. They provide both safety and aesthetics, making them ideal for public-facing applications where design and safety must go hand in hand.

Summary:

GAT Technologies premium range of fire-rated high-performance plastic films and sheets combine safety, durability, and design flexibility. They outperform standard plastics by delivering self-extinguishing, low-smoke, lightweight, and impact-resistant performance, making them the smart choice for aviation, healthcare, construction, and electronics industries where fire safety and reliability are paramount.
