Fire Resistant Coating: 555 Resinox
Discover More
22nd October 2024
In high risk environments, fire safety is non-negotiable. Choosing a fire resistant coating that can effectively slow the spread of flames is crucial for safeguarding critical infrastructure. 555 Resinox, a water based acrylic coating, has recently been awarded a Class 1 rating for surface spread of flame under BS 476: Part 7: 1997. This certification places it among the highest performing fire protection materials, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of industries where strict safety compliance is essential.
Understanding the Importance of a Class 1 Rating
A Class 1 rating represents the highest level of certification for surface spread of flame, measuring how quickly flames can travel across a material. This certification demonstrates that the coating significantly slows the spread of flames, allowing more time to manage and contain fire incidents before they escalate.
555 Resinox underwent testing under BS 476: Part 7: 1997, a British Standard that assesses the lateral spread of flames across material surfaces. Tested on aluminium panels under real world conditions, the coating’s success is attributed to its enhanced formulation, specifically designed to improve fire resistance in demanding environments.
For industries such as construction, petrochemicals, and manufacturing, where fire risks are a constant concern, this certification ensures compliance with stringent safety standards. In such high risk settings, the ability to slow flame spread provides peace of mind, safeguarding assets, infrastructure, and personnel.
Dual Defence: Fire Resistant Coating & Corrosion Protection
555 Resinox offers more than just fire resistance. Its water based acrylic formulation provides dual defence by protecting against both fire and corrosion. Whether applied to metal or concrete surfaces, the coating performs reliably in corrosive environments, making it particularly well suited for applications in construction, petrochemical plants, and offshore platforms, industries where both fire and corrosion risks are ever present.
By combining fire resistance with long term corrosion protection, 555 Resinox helps to extend the lifespan of infrastructure while reducing maintenance costs. Its flexibility ensures lasting durability even in the most challenging environments, making it a key asset for industries requiring rigorous safety and performance standards.
