Our newest and most innovative fire protection tool is Pyrofend – a truly state-of-the-art material used when manufacturing 
close-fitting, lightweight enclosures that provides the highest possible level of protection against direct flame and thermal radiation. These enclosures can be molded to fit any type of application in any type of industry, giving it a significant advantage over the rigid or blanket-style systems currently in use.
Pyrofend provides high performance fire protection for critical equipment in temperatures in excess of 1832°F (1000ºC) for periods of up to two hours. In addition, Pyrofend is totally non-toxic even in fire conditions, completely waterproof, and needs no additional mass to achieve excellent cold face temperatures since thermal energy transmission is extremely low.

Pyrofend enclosures provide effective fire protection for critical equipment across all industries, such as:
-
Protection of damper actuators in the heating and ventilation industry
-
Protection of emergency shutdown equipment and import/export lines in the offshore oil and gas industry
