Fire protection coatings are an essential consideration for industries such as oil refineries, chemical plants, hospitals, high-rise buildings, and warehouses, among others. Fire protection coatings help protect infrastructure, lives, and investments from catastrophic fire damage. Additionally, some coatings are great solutions for outdoor applications within the extreme desert conditions of the UAE.
- The role of fire protection coating in industrial safety
Fire protection coatings provide an important layer of protection between a structure and the devastating effects of heat and flames. In the event of a fire, Fire Protection Coating will swell to form an insulating char layer, delaying the temperature rise in the structural materials, letting the occupants of the building evacuate, facilitating emergency responders, and allowing for systems shut down.
- Industries where fire protection coatings contribute to safety
While not every sector has the same fire risks, there are industries in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that have a higher degree of fire risk than others. Oil and gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, and even infrastructure projects are catalysts for the requirement for fire protection coatings. The construction industry is also familiar with Fire Protection Coating UAE and utilizes a fire protection application via intumescent and cementitious coatings.
- Advantages that extend past compliance
Though regulations set a minimum requirement for fire protection coatings, the advantages go beyond legal obligation. Fire Protection Coating Abu Dhabi effectively prolongs the life of your assets by minimizing damage from heat and corrosion. Furthermore, insurance companies often view a fire-protected facility as less dangerous and therefore will reduce premiums for facilities with fire protection measures in place.
Fire protection technology advancements
The fire protection industry continues to develop in the UAE with material and sustainable technology. The outcome of modern coatings by Evora Technical Services produces finishes that are thinner, lighter, and take advantage of thermal efficiency. A great example is an intumescent coating that will expand to many times its original thickness while being exposed to heat in a fire, which increases the insulation value with no detrimental impact on weight. The intent of the fire protection industry continues to innovate, moving us into intelligent solutions rooted in safety.
