Floating covers can be made fire-resistant by using specific materials and treatments designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent ignition. Materials like reinforced polyethylene (RPE) and certain geomembranes can be manufactured with fire-retardant additives that enhance their resistance to fire. These additives help prevent the spread of flames and reduce the risk of combustion.
In addition to material selection, proper maintenance and installation play a role in enhancing fire resistance. Ensuring that the cover is free of flammable debris and regularly inspecting for damage can further mitigate fire risks.
