Flexible, Flame-Retardant, Anti-Static Ducting for Hazardous Areas
FRAS-FLOW® Flexi Ducting
Safe, reliable airflow in hazardous areas
FRAS-FLOW® flexible ducting is a premium range of flame-retardant, anti-static (FRAS) ducting designed for safe ventilation and fume extraction in hazardous areas and confined spaces.
Engineered for durability and compliance, FRAS-FLOW® delivers reliable airflow performance in demanding environments such as oil & gas facilities, mining operations, and industrial plants where safety, flexibility, and regulatory compliance are critical.
Why choose FRAS-FLOW® Flexi Ducting?
- Certified for Hazardous Area Use
Independently tested and compliant with leading Australian and international standards for flammability and electrostatic control in explosive atmospheres.
- Flame-Retardant & Anti-Static Protection
Designed to minimise ignition risk by combining flame-retardant materials with integrated static dissipation systems.
- Built for Harsh Industrial Conditions
Reinforced with a stainless-steel helix, providing strength and crush resistance while maintaining flexibility.
- Flexible, Lightweight & Easy to Deploy
Compressible design allows for easy transport, rapid installation, and minimal storage footprint on site.
- Compatible with Certified Ventilation Systems
Designed to integrate seamlessly with IECEx-certified fans, air movers, and cooling systems.
