FAVUSEAL FIREBOX compared to EPOXY FIREBOX
The Favuseal Powered Firebox is designed applying the latest innovative fire protection technology. It utilizes Favuseal NKX-6174, a Polymer based passive fire protection material, extruded into sheets that are fitted onto the walls inside
of the metal enclosure (0,7mm AISI 316 SS) yielding an
ultra-slim fire protection solution.

By using the Favuseal Powered Firebox, clashes are reduced to a minimum. The fire box is smaller than any other firebox found in the market place and it only expands marginally (8mm) inwards towards the object protected. More importantly, the tested explosion loads will remain intact over time. Some fireboxes utilizing two-component epoxy based paint will continue to cure/hardned over time after it has been installed causing them not withstanding explosion loads very well.
In the event of a fire, the outer dimension of the Favuseal Powered Firebox remains unchanged during the pre- and post-fire stages. It delivers excellent performance by exceeding functional requirements under the various fire scenarios
