There are some reasons or locations why you would want a flame resistant coating, and certainly one such location might be a pyrotechnics manufacturer, and another great example may be on boats. Silikal can satisfy both of those, as “we meet IMO floor covering requirements which means they are fireproof and safe for boats” Of course, in that particular instance, IMO refers to the International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency specializing in maritime safety.

A newly formulated flame resistant coating as supplied by Silikal can result in reduced insurance costs as well as an added marketing benefit for a particular end product such as a boat. Not only are these Silikal flame resistant coatings, but also the coatings are aesthetically beautiful as they can be when color can be matched to any color, or color combination.

With the manufacture of these flame resistant coatings, using an intumescent formula created against flame and fire, Silikal has met a special demand from the maritime industry that we are extremely proud of! Synthetic materials are being used more and more and are even now being utilized in light marine industries. The new wave materials are outstanding concerning their special light weight and their particular strength, but a top priority is that these products are highly combustible and will not by themselves meet required fire ratings. The flame resistant coatings especially formulated by Silikal have answered this key concern for many.

Imagine too the use of flame resistant coatings on hospitals, restaurants and in fact on any public buildings. Just think how many lives can be saved with the use of a special flame resistant coating on such properties? Silikal has thought of it, and that’s why they manufacture a flame resistant coating which has been especially formulated in order to provide flame resistant finishes that are durable, and beautiful but more importantly tough.
