The FAA TSO C203 Approved FireCape® Fire Containment Cover (FCC) is a result of 40 years of expertise in high-temp fabrics and fire protection. Certified to contain palletized cargo fires for 6 hours, it provides flight crews crucial time for a safe landing, compared to a mere 17 minutes without it. Primarily designed to manage violent fires from Lithium-Ion batteries and hazardous materials, it's also suitable for warehouses, hangars, ships, and more. Made from Z-Block™ Flame Retardant Fabrics, it meets standards set by aviation authorities and can withstand up to 1800°F / 980°C. Light and durable, it's designed for easy deployment by ground crews. Trusted globally by the US Navy and major cargo airlines, Newtex also produces other fire containment products and collaborates with Trip & Co. for global distribution.
