Iranian Scientists Produce Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Materials to Strengthen Buildings
“The product of our company is spray-applied fire resistive materials for strengthening buildings and metal structures against cellulose fires,” Atefeh Darvishi, the director of the research and development department of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
Noting that most of these products are used in the oil and gas industries, she said, “This product was earlier monopolized by an American company but we were able to produce it.”
“The use of these materials is one of the requirements of the construction industry that many companies produce,” Darvishi said.
“In the Iranian market, the products that are implemented now are intocement (blowing agents), which is not economical for Iran, because we do not produce them in the country but our product is completely competitive in terms of standard, quality, and price,” she underlined.
In a relevant development late last year, another Iranian knowledge-based company had also supplied aluminum facade composites to the market to tackle the challenge of fire spread in buildings.
The flammability of the facade of the building is a challenge during a fire, because it causes the fire to spread to other floors. For that, an Iranian knowledge-based firm has offered facade composite panels with aluminum sinusoidal layers which does not catch fire.”
Mehdi Esmailizadeh, one of the managers of the Iranian knowledge-based company told local media that “Previously, we were using composite in the middle layer of this product, but one of the problems with these facade composite panels is their flammability; therefore, we use aluminum to solve this problem.”
“Being lightweight and fast installation compared to stone and ceramic and other data-x-items are among the other advantages of this facade composite,” he added.
“The difference between these panels and previous ones is that the middle layer of the composite panels was made of polyethylene which is flammable. Currently we have two production lines for this product,” Esmaeilizadeh added.
“But our important product is a composite with an aluminum layer in the middle and completely flameproof,” he added.
