Purpose

In the construction industry, to increase the fire resistance limits of steel structures and ensure regulated fire safety of construction facilities

Characteristics

Fire resistance limit within R 30—120 minutes for metal structures with a cross-section coefficient of 250—90 m–1, if the coating thickness is 4—5 mm. Service life — at least 15 years under operating conditions of type Y (ETAG-018) indoors or in semi-enclosed spaces protected from atmospheric precipitation; biocidal resistance and minimal harmful impact on the environment ensured due to the balance of toxicity — biodegradability

Advantages

Reduction of negative impact on humans and the environment due to coating decomposition in fire conditions because of the absence of halogenated flame retardants and boric acid derivatives and reduction of smoke formation; reduction of fire protection treatment cost on average by 25—30% due to low price of fire protection paint, prolonged service life, and application technology. There are no analogs in Ukraine at the fire protection efficiency level (120 minutes)

Purpose

For the production of sorption-filtration fibrous materials, from which gas mask elements (GME) are made for gas cleaning equipment, in particular respirators for protection against toxic acidic gases (SO₂, SO₃, SiF₄, HF, HCl, and Cl₂) and vapors
