🔥 FireShield® enters its next chapter

Advanced Composite Structures Australia in with Regina Glass Fibre developed FireShield® - a lightweight, single-ply veil to help protect advanced composite structures against fire without the need to modify the resin or change the manufacturing process.

Following the closure of Regina Glass Fibre, we are pleased to announce that ACS Australia has entered into a new agreement directly with Ampelite Australia Pty Ltd. 🤝

Ampelite has long been the principal customer for FireShield®, incorporating the technology into its highly successful, Australian-made FS Firecheck® fire-resistant roofing and cladding range. To support this next phase, Ampelite has established a dedicated new production line to manufacture FireShield®.

The agreement secures the continued use of FireShield® across Ampelite’s products while creating a platform to pursue new applications, markets and commercialisation opportunities internationally.

With potential applications spanning , , , and , the opportunity for this Australian technology extends well beyond roofing.

ACS Australia looks forward to partnering with Ampelite to expand FireShield® into its next phase of commercial growth.
