Micon coating has been involved in the development and production of fire retardant products for the past 20 years and has been able to provide quality fire retardant products to all sectors of industry particularly in the domestic, mining, industrial and building sectors.
According to Micon Coating fire retardant is defined as a substance other than water which reduces the flammability or delays the ignition of its protected substrate. Micon Coating’s fire retardants are used to minimize the risks of fire hazards to the client’s property.
The company extensive range of fire retardant coatings and chemicals ensures that everything from structural steel, electrical cables, service penetration seals, fabric, thatch and timber can effectively be protected from the ravages of fire, thus saving lives and safekeeping investments.
Micon coating Fire retardants work in the initial phase of burning, reacting to contain the spread of flame, securing and controlling the affected area until a flash over occurs, when this happens the fire will grow and consume more area of the fuel it is feeding off. Once this happens, the fire retardants will again control and secure the affected areas until the coating/chemical has been burnt out, and so the process repeats itself.
While it is possible to render something “fireproof”, it is nearly always not economically, environmentally, or logistically feasible to do so because one needs to be compromise of the application of fire retardants reached. In event of a fire their ability to control, isolate, delay, protect and safeguard the lives and capital investments in its vicinity cannot be under estimated.
Micon coating says that Product users and specifiers can be assured that all their products are backed up by comprehensive test reports from the CSIR and other testing agencies both locally and abroad and the company stands for technology and integrity.
