Patol

Patol will be returning to Firex International with Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) and the wide range of applications for which it is ideally suited very much the focus of attention. Patol will be highlighting the capabilities of the Securiton SecuriRAS range of ASD systems – developed in Switzerland and manufactured in Germany – for which Patol is the exclusive distributor in the UK.

ASD is widely employed as a fire detection technology, providing fast and early detection of smoke particles to ensure it is employed in many different environments, from warehouses, museums, IT and data centre facilities to laboratories, clean rooms and cold stores. Kelvin Miller is Sales Director for Patol and recognises the recent successes achieved with SecuriRAS as providing an excellent platform from which to build – “The food industry has been an area in which we’ve been particularly active. In several applications, the particular challenges of cold stores and their low temperatures have been met through our ASD offering. The particularly quiet operation of the detector’s high performance fan – one of the quietest on the market – is also proving very popular and is opening up opportunities in a number of different applications.”

The SecuriRAS range is EN54-20 approved to class A, B & C and provides options for effective, scalable fire monitoring of small single premises through to much larger facilities.

Paroc

Pipe Penetration Fire Protection

PAROC fire protection solutions for pipe penetrations include fire resistance up to 120 minutes and are based on one product: PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat T. This standard high quality product is already popular

for thermal and condensation insulation of pipework. The solution can be used in rigid decks and walls, such as concrete or aerated concrete. It is also tested and classified for fire rated flexible walls e.g. gypsum boards and studs.

Penetration Sealing Fire Batts

PAROC stone wool batts are offered to specialist fire stopping suppliers who typically paint them with intumescent coatings. They prevent the passage of fire and smoke between compartment walls and floors whilst still allowing the installation of services. The system can seal cables, cable trays, and other penetrations, and is suitable for flexible walls, rigid floors and walls.

Structural Steel Fire Protection – glue free system

When exposed to fire, all commonly used structural materials lose some of their mechanical strength. Heavily loaded steel will lose its designed safety margin at a temperature around 550°C – regardless of the grade of steel. To protect the structural steel in your building, use high quality PAROC FPS 17 fire protection slabs.

South-Tek Systems

Wet, dry or pre-action; every fire protection system is at risk of experiencing corrosion. It is one of the most important issues facing our industry today. South-Tek Systems manufactures state-of-the-art technology specializing in corrosion inhibition. But what is the driving force behind corrosion? The answer is oxygen. Wherever oxygen interfaces with metal and water, there will be corrosion. That is why South-Tek Systems’ safe, green, cost-efficient solutions are what Europe has been waiting for.

Studies show that replacing compressed air with high purity nitrogen (98%+) effectively inhibits the corrosion process in dry and pre-action Fire Protection Systems. Utilizing industry-exclusive PSA technology, South-Tek generators produce high purity nitrogen to maintain positive pressure in both dry and pre-action systems.

South-Tek’s FM-Approved and UL-Listed nitrogen generators are installed in over 10,000 locations worldwide. Now with CE approval, STS has begun to provide its award winning products in Europe.

For wet system corrosion, South-Tek manufactures wet air vents, nitrogen inerting kits, and the only water deoxygenation system in the industry.

To find out more about corrosion, nitrogen generators for dry and pre-action systems, deoxygenation for wet systems, and South-Tek in general, please contact your local distributor.
