ATL (Aero Tec Laboratories) and materials company Arclin have introduced two fuel-bladder materials built around Kevlar EXO reinforcement for the FIA 8875-2025 safety fuel-tank standard.
ATL says its 922-C material has achieved Grade 1 homologation under the new standard. The companies also say the 927-B material has passed all Grade 2 testing requirements. Those are distinct claims: the announcement describes the first product as homologated and the second as having completed the tests, so MRI has not presented the 927-B as homologated.
FIA 8875-2025 raises requirements covering puncture resistance, impact protection, fire survival and compatibility with a wider range of fuels, including sustainable alternatives. Arclin and ATL describe it as the first major revision to this area of FIA fuel-tank regulation in more than 25 years.
Arclin says Kevlar EXO provides about 40% greater strength-to-weight performance than traditional Kevlar while improving flexibility, energy absorption and fuel compatibility. That figure is a supplier claim. The release does not provide specimen masses, test curves, comparison methodology or independent laboratory results.
The two companies say Kevlar EXO is the exclusive reinforcement in ATL’s 922-C and 927-B materials. They have not published prices, production capacity, delivery lead times, vehicle applications, homologation certificate identifiers or the weight of a completed bladder, so MRI has not inferred an on-car mass saving or immediate competition adoption.
MRI compared the Arclin canonical URL, headline, ATL, Arclin, Kevlar EXO, 922-C, 927-B, FIA 8875-2025 and the 11 November event date against published MRI news. No duplicate or near-duplicate article was found.
