Fire Protection
In the event of a fire in a building, and especially if the fire stop is insufficient, the fire and smoke spread very quickly through the building. Fire protection products prevent the spread of flames, heat and smoke. The rest of the building will be safe and will allow safe evacuation and recovery.
In the life science industry effective fire stopping is essential to maintain compartmentation, protect critical infrastructure, and support compliance within highly regulated environments. Our range of fire stopping systems is designed to provide reliable performance at linear joints and service penetrations through walls and floors, including combustible and non-combustible services as well as electrical installations.
These solutions are engineered to help maintain fire protection while preserving the integrity of cleanroom and controlled environment constructions, supporting both safety and operational continuity.
We provide a comprehensive portfolio of tested systems and technical expertise to support specification, installation, and compliant detailing across a wide range of life science applications.
Range of Applications
Fire protection systems are used in many elements of pharmaceutical facilities:
- installation passages (cables, pipes, wires)
- expansion joints and construction gaps
- Walls and ceilings of fire separation
- Steel structures
- ventilation ducts and HVAC installations
Key Requirements
Solutions used in the life science industry should provide:
- Effective reduction of the spread of fire and smoke
- Compatibility with building installations and systems
- Resistance to moisture, chemicals and operating conditions
- Durability and stability over time
- Easy integration with cleanroom solutions
