A fire is a dynamic event, if it does not encounter any obstacles, it grows and spreads constantly. It is a common occurrence for a fire to grow suddenly, especially in fires that occur in closed environments. For this reason, doors and windows of sections that are likely to be fire-hazardous in architectural structures should be equipped with fire-resistant products.
The amount of oxygen is an important factor in the spread of fire. Fire-resistant doors and windows draught increased with the speed of air movement as a barrier to slow down the spread of fire and emergency evacuation for the extra time needed since it provides the architectural elements of the doors on intumescent (performance you need to spray) products, you need to become a significantly protective adorned with.
Intumescent fire and smoke seals, intumescent glazing seals, fire resistant cold plates, fire resistant air transfer grills, fire resistant sealants and foams, ironmongery protectors, drop-seals are some of the examples. These products have high fire resistance and are used in many areas such as accommodation facilities, hospitals, schools, communal facilities (gyms, libraries) research laboratories.
Intumescent fire and smoke seals, which we have started R&D studies for the first time in Turkey for use indoors, have been developed to perform their function most effectively and have successfully passed numerous tests, including those of our customers.
However, Intumescent fire and smoke seals are only some of all the components that make up the strength, and they can perform their functions only if there are holistic working dynamics. For a Intumescent fire and smoke seals to work following European standards, first of all, all components located on the door must be assembled and manufactured following general norms. For smooth operation of the fire door, unconsciously mounted doors, door frame between excess production problems such as spaces, Seals (gasket) and the drop-seals to open grooves of a width suitable for failing the wrong preference hinge on the door assembly does not work properly if the mineral that is used must be carefully monitored. Otherwise, the fire door, which cannot perform its function, can lead to tragic consequences.
As Plastfit, we have been serving in the local and global market with our own Intumescent fire and smoke seals, which we have been manufacturing since 2016, and Odice™ brand products, which we are a distributor of. Our vision is to expand our product portfolio to be used in fire-resistant doors in Turkey and to create awareness of European standards of fire doors.
The fire dec a tragic incident that should not be ignored. However, the measures we will take against the fire can save us from consequences that will be difficult to reverse.
