ALPHARETTA, Ga., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Arclin, a leading materials science company, has partnered with Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL), a global leader in FIA-approved fuel cells and bladders, to advance motorsport safety and meet the rigorous new requirements of FIA 8875-2025 through its groundbreaking 922-C and 927-B fuel bladder materials incorporating Kevlar® EXO™.

Through its collaboration with Arclin, ATL has become the first and currently only manufacturer to successfully produce fuel bladder materials that satisfy both grades of the new FIA 8875 standard. ATL has achieved Grade 1 ("Advanced Safety Fuel Tanks") homologation with its 922-C material and successfully passed all Grade 2 ("Competition Safety Fuel Tanks") testing requirements with its 927-B material, both developed using Arclin's Kevlar® EXO™ technology.

Marking the first update to motorsport safety fuel tank regulations in more than 25 years, FIA Standard 8875-2025 establishes significantly enhanced requirements for puncture resistance, impact protection, fire survivability, and compatibility with a broader range of fuels, including sustainable alternatives. Together, these advancements represent a significant step forward in motorsport safety and underscore the importance of the Arclin and ATL collaboration.

Kevlar® EXO™ played a key role in helping ATL meet the FIA's rigorous new requirements. Its advanced molecular structure delivers approximately 40% greater strength-to-weight performance than traditional Kevlar® fiber while improving flexibility, fuel compatibility, and energy absorption. These attributes enable fuel bladder designs that are lighter, stronger, and better equipped to withstand the extreme conditions encountered in professional racing.

"The introduction of the FIA's new fuel tank standard reflects the motorsport industry's ongoing commitment to advancing driver safety," said Joe Hovanec, Arclin's Vice President of Kevlar® EXO™.

Arclin and ATL collaborated closely to bring the…
