Intertek has acknowledged the high-quality and eco-friendliness of FIREDAMP W3 paint as one of the first fire-proofing paints certified in MENA markets.
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.
Hani Saraya, project sales manager at Jazeera Paints, explained, “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.”
