FPC 9230 is Oxidized PAN fiber, in a discontinuous chopped fiber form. The OPAN fiber is rated at >45 LOI, is an excellent fire retardant textile fiber with effective heat blocking and fire barrier properties. These fibers are ideal for economical processing into fire retardant nonwoven fabrics and felts for furniture upholstery, carpet underlayment, high temperature furnace insulation, and other related applications without the addition of harmful chemicals. OPAN fibers can be considered for replacement of meta-aramid fiber based insulations for improved properties. FPC 9230 does not burn, melt or drip, instead the fibers char and will self-extinguish. FPC 9230 is also an effective acoustical insulation fiber.
