There are many items in a commercial or residential establishment that feed a fire in case of an accident. These items cause the fire to spread rapidly across other areas causing untold damage to life and property. Every year millions are paid in insurance claims due to fire accidents. Then again there are some establishments where a fire can spread more rapidly due to the presence of highly inflammable material like petrochemical plants, oil refineries etc.
It sometimes happens that due to the presence of these items that feed the fire, it spreads so rapidly that you don’t even get the time to deploy the fire fighting measures like fire extinguishers. At the same time, in case of a fire the electrical supply may have to be shut down, in which case the fire safety measures like sprinklers will not function. In these situations it is necessary to have some passive fire protection NSW that will reduce the spreading of the fire.
These passive fire safety measures are in the form of intumescent paint, duct spray, fire dampers etc. They do not feed the fire and also prevent the items coated by them to feed the fire. AS a result the fire slows down and also the intensity of the flames is reduced. This provides a double benefit as on one hand it reduces the damage caused by the temperature and the flames and on the other hand it gives you time to deploy the active fire safety measures.
It is especially advisable to employ such passive fire protection NSW in establishments that are at a high risk from fire accidents. In fact in most cases even your insurance company will require you to employ these measures.
