ALPHARETTA, Ga., March 28, 2025 /CNW/ -- Arclin™, a leading material science company, proudly introduces Arclin Firepoint™, a revolutionary fire-resistant building material engineered to offer unparalleled fire protection for homes. Utilizing patented intumescent technology, Firepoint fire-rated assemblies are proven to withstand flames for up to 90 minutes on 60-minute wall assemblies—significantly outperforming traditional materials. With 53% more fire resistance than standard code requirements,* Firepoint stalls flames, giving residents and first responders critical extra time to react, ultimately helping to save lives and protect what matters most, including homes and valued possessions. As wildfire threats increase, Firepoint provides a comprehensive solution that exceeds code requirements.* Its patented technology fortifies homes with a "coat of armor" that resists and slows the spread of flames, minimizing damage. Engineered for durability and easy installation, Firepoint is an ideal choice for both single-family and multi-family homes. "We believe in pushing the boundaries of fire safety innovation," said Brad Bolduc, president and chief executive officer of Arclin. "Arclin Firepoint offers superior fire protection that can stall flames to help save lives, plus it creates increased building efficiency, helping architects, builders and homeowners save on material costs, labor, and construction time.
