A Scandinavian manufacturer of ballast tank pumps for ships was looking for a solution for the fire-proof design of the pump connections. Specially made sealing rings based on a graphite-driven intumescent compound developed by us were able to meet the requirement.

For a well-known manufacturer of large diesel units, we developed the special component of an intumescent barrier for the exhaust gas cleaning system. This is intended to prevent fire damage to the engine and ultimately the vehicle in the event of a malfunction of the exhaust gas cleaning system

In 2013 we developed a solution for fire sealing electric aluminum waveguides of diameters up to 500 mm for an international energy technology company.

Wolmanit^® Antiflamm makes a decisive contribution to protecting the life and limb of passengers on public transport in the event of a fire. The molded wood shells of the passenger seats achieve low flammability due to the flame-retardant finish with our intumescent fire protection coating and thus help to reduce the risk for passengers and personnel to a high degree.

In the last decade the new water-world Rulantica was created next to the Europa-Park. The wooden facades of the Europa-Park hotel "Bell Rock" were treated using Wolmanit^® Firestop flame retardant to meet the increased fire protection requirements. Eventually, in 2019 the museum hotel "Krønasår" executed in a colorful Scandinavian style was opened. Its wooden facade also contains Wolmanit^® Firestop, making the "Krønasår" a safe place for guests and employees.

The four-story building of the Archbishop's Vocational School in Cologne includes 50 classrooms, a gymnasium, a library, a cafeteria and a foyer for meetings.

To meet the increased fire protection requirements, the FireSec Fineline panels used for wall and ceiling cladding were equipped with Wolmanit^® Firestop flame retardant.

The four-story administration and office building in the heart of Freiburg was built entirely in wood. In order to meet the fire protection requirement "flame retardant", the façade made of glulam was pressure impregnated with Wolmanit^® Firestop and protected from the sun and weather by an imposing glazing structure. This was installed in order to preserve the natural wood appearance over the long term.

Among other measures, a large number of installed KBS^® Kombischott ABL 90 penetration seals secure the fire compartments in the prisma-shaped Roche Tower, Basel, which was opened in 2015. This provides for protecting life and limb of the people working inside in case of fire. In Tower 2, now nearing completion in 2021, numerous KBS^® penetration seal solutions will again be installed.

Plastic pipes up to a diameter of 400 mm are routed through ceilings and walls in the Prime Tower Zurich. KBS^® Pipe Seal M collars effectively ensure protection against the passage of fire and smoke in the event of fire.

This fire stopping solution ensures that flames and smoke gases cannot spread to the adjacent fire compartment. In addition, the insulation and the coating with KBS^® Foamcoat ensure that the temperature of the steel tube does not rise above the limit of 180 Kelvin required by EN 1366-3 within 90 minutes during a fire.
