COMFIRE® Marine Fireproof Technologies

A lightweight, noncombustible and non-toxic composite ideal for multiple marine applications.

COMFIRE® is a patented composite technology that provides excellent passive marine fire protection at the highest level on military and commercial ships. Designed to be as versatile as possible, COMFIRE® is suitable for a host of applications whether fit-out, retro-fit, or stand-alone.

Offering stability in water, good acoustic attenuation, and a weight advantage over current materials, COMFIRE® is a world-leading product that complies with the tightest safety guidelines and offers many practical advantages to naval applications and the defense industry, along with demanding commercial marine applications.

A Superior Marine Fireproof Material

  • Non-combustible
  • No smoke or toxicity
  • Non-carcinogenic
  • Dimensionally stable, unaffected by water
  • Excellent acoustic attenuation
  • Excellent insulation properties

COMFIRE® Doors and Panel System

COMFIRE® offers a range of density, which allows for flexibility of design to meet the mechanical requirements of an application. COMFIRE® doors give significant weight savings against other systems and will provide a higher integrity fire protection. Doors are available as hinged single, hinged double, or sliding as well as with or without standard porthole. We can also provide watertight, gaslight, and weathertight door systems.

COMFIRE® is also available as a modular panel system for cabins, galleys, stairwells, and lift shafts applications. The self-supporting panels will span deck-to-deck without additional bracing and are still functional after an A60 fire situation.

Made To Fit Your Existing Doors

Jered has developed an N30 Retrofit Kit specifically for the US Naval market. The Retrofit Kit is based on the successfully tested MIL-STD-3020 N-30 door and meets US Navy requirements for high-impact, medium-weight shock as well as hydrostatic tests. Each Retrofit Kit is customized for your needs and installed by a qualified Jered Service Technician.

Lithium- Ion Battery Fire Protection

The Lithium-Ion Battery Charging and Storage Locker was designed to house and store Lithium-ion aircraft batteries of various types, sizes, and shapes. In the event of battery fire, the system has been certified to ensure that adjacent batteries will not be affected.

Two tests were conducted for this qualification: 75 minutes at an average of 80 kW heat flux, and an additional extreme test lasting 8 minutes at an average of 207 kW heat flux. The COMFIRE® storage system exceeded expectations and showed excellent thermal properties. The outside of the cabinet was cool to the touch during testing and the system remained fully functional post-test.

Public Area Cladding and Furniture

COMFIRE® is an excellent material for cladding and furniture. Its higher density, non-combustible properties allow furniture or other interior structures to be manufactured with wood veneer. With excellent acoustic dampening of up to 50dB, COMFIRE® can be used in cinema and function rooms that benefit from the use of advanced fire protection material. COMFIRE® has been used for several navy and marine vessel applications including operational room furniture, computer screen mounts, and control tower desks.
