Our solutions

Every sector has its demands. We have the solution.

We serve Latin America’s most critical industrial markets with coating systems developed for the real conditions of each operation, and technical support from specification to field.

FIRETEX fire protection

When fire strikes, every minute counts.

FIRETEX® intumescent coatings expand on contact with heat, forming an insulating barrier that slows the structural collapse of steel. They provide 30 minutes to 4 hours of protection, enough time for safe evacuation and incident control.

The FIRETEX® range covers three critical industrial fire scenarios:

  • Hydrocarbon fire, for refineries, petrochemicals and platforms, including Jet Fire and BLEVE (FIRETEX M90/02, M90/03)
  • Cellulosic fire, for buildings, hospitals and civil structures (FIRETEX FX6010, FX5062)
  • Cryogenic shock, for LNG plants and storage terminals (FIRETEX Cryo Range)

Real projects. Proven results.

Our work in Latin America is measured by the performance of the projects we protect, from large infrastructure to high-demand industrial plants.
