TIB Chemicals AG launches PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 fire protection system for wood onto the German market
PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 Fire Protection System: Effective Wood Fire Protection for the Highest Safety Requirements
The PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 fire protection system from TIB Chemicals is an innovative, water-based solution for the preventive fire protection of wood in interior applications. The system consists of the intumescent primer PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 Primecoat WB I and the highly decorative 1K topcoat PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 Topcoat WB-I. It was developed specifically for fast and cost-effective industrial use and combines reliable wood fire protection with high-quality finishes.
With a classification of B-s1,d0 in accordance with DIN EN 13501-1, PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 achieves the highest fire class possible for wood. As a result, the fire protection system meets stringent safety requirements in public and private buildings. In the event of a fire, the intumescent coating reacts by expanding in a controlled manner to form an insulating protective layer. This protects the wood from extreme heat, slows the spread of fire, and helps buy valuable time for evacuation and rescue efforts.
The fire protection system for wood is suitable for all types of wood with a bulk density of at least 388 kg/m³ and a minimum thickness of 8 mm. It was specifically developed for indoor use and can be applied to a wide variety of wooden components. The high-quality topcoat also impresses with its resistance in accordance with Class 1B as defined by DIN 68861 and further meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3. As a result, the coating is also suitable for sensitive areas where the highest safety and quality standards are required.
Another advantage of PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 is its efficient application. Thanks to low application rates and short drying times, coating processes can be significantly accelerated. Application is carried out, for example, using Vacumat systems or spray systems, enabling cost-effective mass production. Compared to alternative methods such as autoclave pressure impregnation, users benefit from considerable time and efficiency advantages.
The system is ideal for kindergartens, schools, sports facilities, hospitals, hotels, administrative buildings, public institutions, and private residential buildings. Wherever fire-retardant coatings for wood, safety, and a high-quality appearance are required, PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 offers a high-performance solution.
SAFETY FIRST – SAFETY COMES FIRST! With the PRODOFIX® HBB 19-3 fire protection system from TIB Chemicals, you can rely on certified wood fire protection, efficient application, and durable, decorative surfaces.
