The risk of fire in industrial environments is much higher than in building and other applications, particularly when working with welding and grinding equipment in high temperature environments containing flammable and /or explosive media.
To protect personnel and equipment it is therefore important that all steps are taken to protect possible fire sources and prevent fires starting.
Passive fire protection using non-combustible materials is the best way to eliminate these risks from the beginning or prevent fire from spreading. That is why all KIMMCO-ISOVER industrial insulation products offer outstanding fire safety properties.
KIMMCO-ISOVER solutions give you maximum safety in the event of fire. While it is sometimes difficult to prevent a fire from starting, it is very important once it does start to prevent it spreading to neighbouring areas, and particularly to prevent it encroaching on escape and evacuation routes.
KIMMCO-ISOVER offers an extensive range of fully testyed insulated constructions, offering from 15 minutes to 180 minutes fire resistance in accordance with local and EN standards.
