Jazeera Paints, a leading paint manufacturer in the Mena region, has announced that its Firedamp W3, a high-quality, fire-proofing paint, has been certified as Clean Air Gold, a certificate by Intertek. 

 

Intertek, a multinational assurance, inspection, and product testing and certification company, has acknowledged the high-quality and eco-friendliness of Firedamp W3 paint as one of the first fire-proofing paints certified in the Mena market.

 

The fire-proofing paints are a type of paints that aids in preventing the spread of fire and limiting its impact on buildings. The importance of fire-proofing paints stems from building's security and safety. "When a fire occurs," Hani Saraya, Project Sales Manager at Jazeera Paints, explains, "the paint swells due to heat exposure, creating a protective layer, the layer expands due to the gases released by the fire, then, works as a barrier that suppresses the gas inside, preventing the high heat generated by fire from reaching the surface, and helps prevent building collapse."

 

The market is filled with various types of fire-proofing products depending on the building and surface. Jazeera Paints, however, has highly dependable formulations of fire-proofing paints that encompass a broad range of buildings and surfaces such as iron, wood, gypsum, etc. 

 

Jazeera Paints also offers a list of top-performing, fire-proofing products for each type of surface. Many of these products have been utilised in a host of mega-projects across Saudi Arabia. 

 

These products include Firedamp 263, a fire-proofing paint that is used on iron surfaces, such as columns and beams; Firewood 150, one of the finest fire-proofing paint for wooden surfaces for its quality of suppressing heat from spreading and protecting wooden materials from collapsing; and Firetech, a fire-proofing paint that is used on gypsum surfaces. --TradeArabia News Service
